Suit says Honest's "hypoallergenic" baby shampoo contains fragrance allergens
Cassandra CampbellEditor
A proposed class action filed in late October says some scents of The Honest Company's baby Shampoo + Body Wash and Conditioning Detangler are labeled hypoallergenic but contain linalool or limonene, two fragrance ingredients known to cause allergic reactions in some people. The claims are unproven, and no company response has been reported.
Why it matters
"Hypoallergenic" has no legal definition in the US, so it means whatever the brand says it means. If you're shopping for a sensitive baby, check the ingredient list for linalool and limonene, or pick a fragrance-free version.
The story so far
The proposed class action is filed against The Honest Company.
