==Society and culture== Some cosmetics are marketed as hypoallergenic to imply that their use is less likely to lead to an allergic reaction than other products.<ref name=FDA>{{cite web |author1=Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition |title="Hypoallergenic" Cosmetics |url=https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmetics-labeling-claims/hypoallergenic-cosmetics |website=FDA |language=en |date=1 September 2020}}</ref> However, the term ''hypoallergenic'' is not regulated,<ref name="pmid15115531">{{cite journal | vauthors = Murphy LA, White IR, Rastogi SC | title = Is hypoallergenic a credible term? | journal = Clinical and Experimental Dermatology | volume = 29 | issue = 3 | pages = 325β7 | date = May 2004 | pmid = 15115531 | doi = 10.1111/j.1365-2230.2004.01521.x | s2cid = 41482522 }}</ref> and no research has been done showing that products labeled ''hypoallergenic'' are less problematic than any others. In 1977, courts overruled the U.S. [[Food and Drug Administration]]'s regulation of the use of the term hypoallergenic.<ref name=FDA/> In 2019, the [[European Union]] released a document about claims made concerning cosmetics,<ref>{{cite web |title=Technical document on cosmetic claims |url=https://ec.europa.eu/docsroom/documents/24847/ |website=ec.europa.eu |publisher=European Commission |access-date=7 December 2020}}</ref> but this was issued as guidance, not a regulation.<ref>{{cite news | vauthors = Kulliney K |title=EU 'free from' cosmetics claims technical document is guidance, not regulation: Expert |url=https://www.cosmeticsdesign-europe.com/Article/2019/09/06/Cosmetics-free-from-claims-guidance-EU-explained |access-date=7 December 2020 |work=cosmeticsdesign-europe.com |date=6 September 2019}}</ref>
