what does hypoallergenic mean
Hypoallergenic, meaning below normal or slightly allergenic, was a term first used in a cosmetics campaign in 1953. It is used to describe items (especially cosmetics and textiles) that cause or are claimed to cause fewer allergic reactions.
The word hypoallergenic literally means âless allergenic.â Products labeled hypoallergenic are purportedly less likely to cause an allergic reaction in the person using them.
