The 10 Products You Need to Get in on the Hypoallergenic Beauty Trend

Say goodbye to allergic reactions.

By Brittany Burhop Fallon, Beauty Director · May 19, 2017

Hypoallergenic beauty products are becoming more sought-after each year—Pinterest, specifically, has seen a lift in searches for these products and more than 70 percent year-over-year growth. Ingredients like parabens, sulfates, fragrances and artificial colorings can be harsh on these skin types, making them more prone to redness, breakouts and clogged pores, and consumers are becoming increasingly aware of this, especially those with allergy-prone and sensitive complexions. These 10 products—everything from mascara and bronzer to body scrub and shampoo—promise to be gentler on skin, and really deliver.

Eye Cream

Perricone MD Hypoallergenic Firming Eye Cream ($72)

Tackle multiple signs of aging—dryness, fine lines, dark circles and crepey skin—with this lightweight, nongreasy cream that features skin-soothing extracts from olive leaf and olive fruit that won’t irritate the delicate skin around your eyes. Bonus: A little goes a long way!

Highlighter

RMS Beauty Champagne Rosé Luminizer ($38)

If you are a fan of the brand’s cult-favorite Living Luminizer, you’re going to love this new pearlescent-pink, rosé version. Perfect for summer, it will light up your skin in all the right places—use it on your cheekbones, brow bone and Cupid’s bow—and give it a sexy, dewy glow.

Moisturizer

Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet ($39)

Looking for a comfortable, lightweight moisturizer you can wear every day that won’t irritate your skin? Here’s your best bet. The gel-cream formula, enriched with organic grape water and chamomile, melts into skin on contact to soothe dry areas and keep your complexion hydrated all day long.

Contour Palette

Physicians Formula Bronze Booster Highlight and Contour Palette ($15)

New from the brand comes this trio of powder illuminators and sculptors that can do everything from make your nose look slimmer to define your jawline. Plus, the shades are universally flattering and buildable, so you can customize the right look for your skin tone.

Sunscreen

Avène Complexion Correcting Shield SPF 50+ (Face) ($36)

Finding a good SPF can be tricky. Many of them are too thick, smell bad or leave behind a nasty white residue on your skin that you could never apply makeup on top of. This 100-percent mineral formula is just the opposite. It delivers broad-spectrum sun protection without any potentially skin-irritating chemicals and comes in three different shades (Light, Medium and Dark) that perfectly blend into every skin tone.

Foundation

tarte Amazonian Clay Stick Foundation ($39) *Launching May 21

One of the newest additions to the brand’s coveted Amazonian Clay collection is this creamy matte foundation stick that transforms from a powder to a liquid as it blends into skin for medium-to-full coverage that won’t budge throughout the day. Available in 12 shades, the sticks can also be used for concealing, highlighting and contouring—they’re the ultimate multitaskers!

Body Scrub

Kopari Coconut Crush Scrub ($28)

This coconut oil–infused scrub has quickly become a shower staple thanks to its good-for-your-skin ingredients (no microbeads or greasy film in this formula) and coconut and brown sugar scent, as well as the silky-smooth feeling it gives your skin after just one use.

8 / 10

Bronzer

bareMinerals Invisible Bronze Powder Bronzer ($28)

One of the brand’s new launches for spring, this baked powder bronzer—it’s available in four shades—is a total winner. A few swipes with a big fluffy brush can make even the fairest complexion look naturally sun-kissed, just in time for summer.

Shampoo

Klorane Soothing & Anti-Irritating Shampoo With Peony ($20)

It’s no wonder this popular pink shampoo is always out of stock. It’s beloved by those with sensitive, easily irritated scalps because it gently cleanses hair with peony extract, which is rich in anti-irritating properties that help keep dryness and itchiness at bay.

Mascara

Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara ($6)

This cult-classic mascara has remained a favorite for years because not only is it super affordable, but it also lengthens and thickens lashes without irritating sensitive eyes, especially those who wear contact lenses.
