A hypoallergenic product is less likely to cause allergic reactions than typical products. However, such labeling is not a guarantee against all allergic reactions that could result from a hypoallergenic product’s use. In most cases, only the common types of allergy-provoking substances are removed. In addition, other ingredients in certain hypoallergenic formulations may include petroleum-derived substances, even perhaps
formaldehyde, that may not be healthful.
