nonsensitizing
Gentle on skin
Nonsensitizing describes substances—especially cosmetics, medications, or chemicals—that don't cause allergic reactions or sensitivity with repeated exposure.
A nonsensitizing formula is designed to avoid triggering immune responses in the skin or body: The lotion is dermatologist-tested and nonsensitizing.
The term appears frequently in product safety testing and labeling.
