Meaning of Hypoallergenic

Many people misunderstand the meaning of this term. When this term or symbol is used on a product many people think it means they can not experience reaction. Many with sensitivities often look for this term.

Hypoallergenic means LESS LIKELY TO CAUSE REACTION.
This is not stating that it will not. No product should claim that a reaction can not be experienced as even a pure natural product can still cause reaction to those with a sensitivity to the ingredient.
I for example am allergic to camomile, often an ingredient found in these types of claims. However, I would hardly call puffy eyes or swollen red cracked looking skin a hypoallergenic ingredient. (This description is what I look like when this ingredient is applied to my skin) Pretty picture? I assure you not.

Many of these products still contain harsh chemicals and even natural ingredients above case in point prove this term is misused.
