Thats because, unfortunately, use of the termhypoallergenicisnt regulated by the FDA.
There are no federal standards or definitions that govern the use of the termhypoallergenic,the agency says.
The term means whatever a particular company wants it to mean.
That means cosmetics brands can put it on basically any product without requiring FDA approval.
And, of course, everyones skin is different!
Thats one reason why many of the dermatologists SELF spoke to suggest using mineral-based makeup.
And, bonus: Many of these brands are available in thedrugstorebeauty aisle.
