Before we answer, a quick reminder: Hypoallergenic products are designed to have a very low potential for allergic reaction. The term doesn't put a stop to any possibility you might have an allergic reaction to a particular product, but it just means that the average person with sensitive skin that we've tested on, didn't show signs of an allergic reaction.
Our hypoallergenic products have been tested according to internationally recognised standards. We subject the finished products to a well-recognised protocol known as Human Repeat Insult Patch Testing (HRIPT), using internationally-accredited Laboratories around the world. Only if the finished products pass the HRIPT test do we make claims such as “hypoallergenic” or “suitable for sensitive skin”.
This means it's possible that a Unilever product marked as “hypoallergenic” or “suitable for sensitive skin” may still contain an ingredient to which a consumer could be allergic. So, if you have an allergy to a specific ingredient, it's still worth you checking the product listing, on-pack or in our ‘What’s in our Products’ database in the EU to check that the product is suitable for you to use.
