Editorial policy

Authorship

Guides are published by Hypoallergenic Guide Editorial. There is no named author or persona, and we make no claim to have tested or used any product. If a named editor is added in future, this policy and the about page will be updated first.

How recommendations are made

Recommendations follow the published review criteria, never commission rates. A product appears either because its maker says “hypoallergenic” and publishes a specification we can read, or because it meets every criterion for its category; the second kind is labelled “Meets our criteria; the maker doesn’t call it hypoallergenic”. The criteria are versioned and every change is in their changelog. Method and sources are described on how we research.

Health and safety claims

Claims about health or allergy are attributed to a named source, hedged and dated. We do not give medical advice or claim that a product prevents or treats a reaction. See the medical and legal disclaimer.

Exclusions and removals

Exclusions cite a label, certification record, recall notice or published specification. Removals are logged on the removals page. A product we cannot verify is described under what we do not know, not rejected.

Money

The site earns commissions through affiliate links; see the affiliate disclosure. We do not accept paid placements. Prices appear as bands only. Corrections are handled under the corrections policy.
