nonallergenic

Safe for sensitivities

Nonallergenic describes something unlikely to cause an allergic reaction.

The term appears on products marketed to people with sensitivities: nonallergenic soap, nonallergenic bedding.

It functions similarly to hypoallergenic, though manufacturers sometimes use nonallergenic to suggest complete absence of allergens rather than reduced allergen content.
