Have you heard the hype about hypoallergenic skin care? Could it be suitable for your skin type?
Discover what makes a skin care product hypoallergenic as we show you how to build the best skin care routine for allergy-prone skin.
What is hypoallergenic skin care?
Hypoallergenic skin care is skin care that’s been formulated using ingredients that have a low risk of causing an allergy.
A great example of a hypoallergenic skin care brand is Green People’s scent free skin care collection.
We create these products without common allergens, including perfume, the #1 cause of allergy to cosmetics.
They are natural and organic, so free from many of the artificial ingredients commonly used in skin care products.
Hypoallergenic skin care: our “no” list:
- No artificial perfume
- No essential oils
- No ethyl alcohol (ethanol)
- No SLS (sodium lauryl sulphate)
- No gluten
- No parabens
- No lanolin
- No silicones
To ensure they are truly skin-kind, our scent-free products are dermatologically tested (using a 96-hour patch test) and clinically proven to be kind to sensitive skin.
Our risk-free guarantee
We speak to many people who have spent hundreds of pounds trying to find the right products for their allergy-prone skin.
So that you can try our products risk-free, we offer a 28-day returns guarantee so if you try our products and find they are not suitable for your skin, you can return them for a full refund.

Can you be allergic to hypoallergenic products?
Does your skin feel like it reacts to absolutely everything? As experts in sensitive skin, we understand your frustration.
It is possible to be allergic to the gentlest of plant ingredients so, sadly, it is not possible to create 100% hypoallergenic or allergy-free skin care products.
However, the gentle formulation of organic skin care products means that they are less likely to aggravate skin allergies and conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, rosacea and sensitive skin.
If you have ultra-sensitive skin, avoid any known allergy triggers where possible. Also, always test new skin care products on your inner forearm before use and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Is scent-free, hypoallergenic skin care what your skin needs? Our UK customer care team are experts in sensitive skin and are happy to help you build the best routine for your allergy-prone skin.
