Hypoallergenic Formulation

Meaning

A Hypoallergenic Formulation is a product, often a topical cream, gel, or cosmetic, that has been specifically manufactured and tested to contain the fewest possible ingredients known to commonly cause allergic or sensitivity reactions. While this designation does not guarantee that a product will be completely non-allergic for every individual, it signifies a deliberate clinical effort to exclude common sensitizers, fragrances, and irritants. In hormonal health, this is particularly relevant for transdermal hormone replacement therapies, where minimizing local skin irritation is essential for consistent patient adherence and absorption. The formulation prioritizes purity and skin compatibility.
