You know that you're supposed to read the labels before you buy a product. But what do those labels really mean? What's the difference between something that's supposed to be "unscented" and something else that says it's "fragrance free?" The following is a little lesson in label language that should help clear up some of your confusion:
Dermatologist-Tested: This simply means that one dermatologist the effectiveness and safety of the product. It doesn't necessarily mean that the product is absolutely effective, or medicated, or hypo-allergenic.
Fragrance Free: This implies that there are no perfume ingredients in the product, but check the list of ingredients to make sure, especially if you have a hostory of alleries.
Hypo-allergenic: There are no such things as absolutely non-allergenic products. But "hypo"does not mean "non". It means "less". So hypo-allergenic products are just likely to cause allergenic reactions than other products.
Unscented: This doesn't necessarily mean that the product is "fragrance-free". Since some raw substances have unpleasant odors, they must be masked by a fragrance in the product. So be sure to read the ingrediants list.....you may very well find the word "fragrance" listed there.
