How are these product lists built?
Each list is generated from AllerNote's product catalog by excluding any product whose ingredient list contains the allergen or any of its known label names — the same matching used across the site, not editorial picks.
My allergen isn't listed here — what do I do?
This hub covers a bounded pilot set of the most-searched patch-test allergens. For anything else, use the free ingredient scanner to check any specific product, or sign in and save your full allergen list so every scan is checked automatically.
Does "free of X" mean guaranteed safe for me?
No — it means the listed allergen isn't in the ingredient list under any name we know for it. You may still react to something else in the formula. Add your full allergen list to your AllerNote profile for a complete check on any product.
