Hypoallergenic is a scientific term used to describe a product that has been tested
in a controlled environment and has little likelihood of causing an allergic
response. During such tests, a group of individuals are exposed to the product (for
a facial tissue, a swatch of the product is rubbed on a section of their skin, under
controlled conditions) and they are monitored for allergic reactions.
Based on these third-party, independently conducted tests, Scotties facial tissue has
been determined to be hypoallergenic. Further, we have independent medical doctors
who are specialists in skin-related topics oversee the clinical testing and confirm
both the test results and hypoallergenic designation.
However, consumers with known allergies or those who are sensitive to things that
most others do not find irritating can still experience a reaction to a
hypoallergenic product.
