The term means whatever a particular company wants it to mean.In fact, this is what the FDA states,As a result of the decision, manufacturers may continue to label and advertise their cosmetics as "hypoallergenic" or make similar claims without any supporting evidence. Consumers will have no assurance that such claims are valid.However, cosmetics users who know they are allergic to certain ingredients can take steps to protect themselves. FDA regulations now require the ingredients used in cosmetics to be listed on the product label, so consumers can avoid substances that have caused them problems.But remember, like Beth said, products are constantly being labeled as, "hypoallergenic."What that means for you is to always read labels in detail when in doubt.Wrap UpTime to wrap this up.
