The concept of makeup labeled as hypoallergenic was covered in a Mehron Blog posting on December 1, 2008.

Remember that not all Halloween Makeup is created equal, and that during 2009, the FDA recalled certain face painting makeup made in China because it contained bacteria and was deemed unsafe for human application.
