Personal care products (PCPs) commonly cause allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). Skincare companies often market their products as ‘hypoallergenic’ however this term is not regulated by industry standards. To determine whether PCPs marketed as hypoallergenic were truly less likely to precipitate ACD, we conducted a study of ingredients found in ‘hypoallergenic PCPs’ across two major UK retailers in 2022. Of 208 products meeting inclusion criteria, 153 (74%) contained at least one allergen or related chemical from the BSCA (British Society for Cutaneous Allergy) baseline series, 21 (10%) had two potential allergens and 4 PCPs (2%) had three allergens. Cetearyl alcohol was the commonest allergen identified in leave-on PCPs and parabens in rinse-off products; fragrance was the most frequent related chemical found in 85 PCPs (41%). A high prevalence of common allergens was found in hypoallergenic PCPs, suggesting that dermatologists and consumers should be cautious of product ingredients.

Os cosméticos são produtos aplicados nas superfícies do corpo, como pele e cabelos, com o objetivo de embelezar e manter a aparência estética, com e sem finalidade terapêutica. Em contraste, os dermocosméticos têm como foco o tratamento e a prevenção de condições da pele, sendo formulados com base em evidências científicas. Embora não necessitem de prescrição, alguns ingredientes podem ser absorvidos e entrar na circulação sistêmica. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo revisar a literatura sobre reações alérgicas causadas por esses produtos, identificando ingredientes alérgenos e manifestações clínicas. Foram incluídos 19 artigos na revisão de literatura. Os perfumes, frequentemente responsáveis por reações alérgicas, contêm substâncias que podem interagir com a pele, levando a condições como dermatite. A dificuldade em quantificar a incidência de reações é exacerbada pela falta de associações claras entre alergias e produtos cosméticos, além da escassez de informações nos rótulos. As alergias têm diferentes padrões de incidência entre gêneros, sendo mais prevalentes nas mãos e rosto de mulheres. A segurança em produtos para bebês é especialmente crítica, com um foco crescente em ingredientes antimicrobianos em substituição a conservantes potencialmente alergênicos. A revisão também discute a eficácia dos rótulos "hipoalergênico" e "para crianças", que frequentemente carecem de regulamentação.
