Many Moisturizers Aren't What They Claim to Be

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 6, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Many skin moisturizers that claim to be fragrance-free or hypoallergenic are not, and may aggravate skin disorders such as psoriasis and eczema, a new study says.

Northwestern University researchers examined the top 100 best-selling, whole-body moisturizers sold at Amazon, Target and Walmart for affordability and content. They found that 83 percent of so-called hypoallergenic products had a potentially allergenic chemical.

The article assumes hypoallergenic means absolutely incapable of producing an allergic reaction, rather than low in allergenic potential.

That's a bit like assuming hypothermia means the body attaining a temperature of 0 degrees Kelvin.

What would be really nice instead of informing you of a 12% statistical probability of selecting a product free of common allergens, is if they gave a link, even, to the data and products they checked, with results.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
