The Science Behind Untoxicated Allergen Free Products

"Sensitive skin" products still contain allergens.

Untoxicated was built from the ground up to change that. Clinically, not cosmetically.

The Most Common Offenders

Fragrances

Fragrance is, by a significant margin, the most common cause of contact allergic reactions in skincare. It is not a single ingredient. The term encompasses hundreds of individual aromatic compounds, many of which are potent sensitizers.

Preservatives

Without preservatives, water-based skincare products would become breeding grounds for bacteria and mold within days. But many of the most widely used preservatives are also among the most widely documented allergens.

Emulsifiers and Surfactants

Emulsifiers bind water and oil together to create stable creams and lotions. Surfactants are the cleansing agents in washes and micellar waters. Both categories contain allergens that are nearly invisible to consumers reading ingredient labels.

Botanicals and "Natural" Extracts

The trend toward botanical-rich, plant-based formulations has created a new wave of sensitization. Many of the most frequently celebrated natural ingredients are simultaneously among the most allergenic.

Sunscreens and UV Filters

UV filters are among the most common causes of photocontact dermatitis, which is a reaction requiring both the chemical and UV light exposure to trigger.
