Hypoallergenic is a general claim that implies a product will be less likely to cause allergic reactions. Not all hypoallergenic products, however, are made equal. Cosmetics, clothing, toys, and even pets, can be labeled hypoallergenic without having to meet any official standards. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states that “There are no federal standards or definitions that govern the use of the term ‘hypoallergenic.’”
