What is Hypoallergenic Makeup?

We are often asked the question, "is your makeup hypoallergenic?". Although we don't label our Makeup hypoallergenic, we do believe that a large majority of people will be able to use our Makeup without an allergic reaction because we use quality ingredients and standardized formulations in the creation of our Makeup. The FDA does not have a definition or a standard for labeling Makeup as hypoallergenic because of a Supreme Court Ruling that removed the burden of proof from the manufacturers.

Any person can be allergic to an ingredient, but we strive to use only ingredients that are known to have a very low risk of an allergic reaction. Makeup Companies that label their Makeup hypoallergenic are doing so as a marketing tactic, the same amount of people can be allergic to Makeup that is labeled hypoallergenic as those that use a Makeup that is not labeled as being hypoallergenic. This leaves the consumer as the final judge of the Makeup that they buy. The Key to buying makeup that will not cause an allergic reaction is to buy a Makeup that is produced by a Company that believes that the well being of their customer is of the utmost importance.

Mehron was founded in 1927 by Mehron Melik, who began making his Makeup in a loft off of Broadway in New York City with hand selected quality ingredients and catered to the Performing Arts Community of the time, from Circus Clowns to Broadway Stars, from Silent Film Stars to Vaudeville. Mehron makeup became a trusted addition to the performance artist because they trusted Mehron to bring them a quality, long lasting durable Makeup that would not effect their skin in an adverse way. Today, under the watchful eye of Mehron Melik's Son, Martin, Mehron Makeup still produces a quality Makeup that is trusted on the skin of the world's most famous stars in the Entertainment Industry.

Although Mehron does not label their Makeup as hypoallergenic, they believe that the vast majority of people can use their Makeup developed using quality ingredients without an allergic reaction. Whether the Makeup you purchased is labelled as hypoallergenic or not, allergies are still a very personal occurrence. If you for some reason have had a bad experience with Makeup Allergens in the past, take a tip from Shelli Farber, the Education Manager of Mehron Makeup and do a self test before completing a total Makeup Application. When purchasing a Makeup that you have never used before apply a small amount in a discrete location and watch for signs of an allergic reaction after 24 hours. With the quality ingredients used by Mehron and the USA production the chances are very small that you will have an allergic reaction to any of the Mehron Makeup Products.

The Mehron World of Makeup

Mehron Makeup was founded in the USA in 1927 by Mehron Melik who began hand mixing makeup by hand using quality, personally picked ingredients. In 1927 Mehron Melik was living in the heart of the Performance Community off Broadway in New York, NY. His neighbors and friends were the first customers of Mehron, whose quality Makeup quickly earned a reputation throughout the Theaters of New York.

Mehron Makeup continues to be made in the USA from quality ingredients and is never tested on animals. The Researchers and Chemists at Mehron are very particular about the ingredients that go into making their world renowned Theatrical Makeup and have continued that tradition in all of the Makeup Collections produced by Mehron in the USA.

Mehron Melik insisted that only the finest ingredients could be used in his Makeup. Today over eight decades later his son, Martin Melik continues to produce Mehron Products with the basic philosophy that all Mehron Products will be produced using quality ingredients to produce a quality product.

Today, 82 years later, Mehron Makeup not only produces the world's high quality Professional Theatrical Makeup but has also expanded their philosophy of producing high quality makeup produced in the USA to Face Painting Makeup, Body Painting Makeup and Extreme Beauty Makeup.

Is My Halloween Makeup Hypoallergenic?

Do you wonder if your Halloween Makeup is Hypoallergenic? Well according to the FDA the term hypoallergenic is not really quantified. You see, a Federal Court struck down an FDA regulation that required cosmetic manufacturers to provide tests to back up any claims that their makeup was hypoallergenic. Without any regulation or supporting tests cosmetic manufacturers are able to label their product hypoallergenic. So where does this leave the consumer when buying makeup?

This leaves the consumer of Halloween Makeup to be their own regulator. Know what you are buying, and know that the Company you buy your Makeup from is a reputable Makeup Company. The FDA does require that the ingredients be listed on the labels. If you know that you are allergic to certain ingredients you can avoid buying Makeup that contains that substance. Don't fall for false claims of "hypoallergenic", the key is to look for a Makeup Company that believes in using quality ingredients and has a reputation for producing quality makeup.

Mehron has been producing Makeup since 1927, it is still made in the USA and they still use quality ingredients to produce a quality makeup. If you are unsure you will have an allergic reaction to a makeup, do a self test.

Shelli Farber is a makeup expert and the Education Manager at Mehron. She offered great tips for parents using makeup on their children for Halloween in A Woman’s Day Special Halloween Publication. Shelli advised parents that they should test for allergic reactions a few days before Halloween by placing a bit of the makeup that will be used behind the ear or on a forearm; the last thing a parent wants is an allergic reaction on Halloween!

Mehron does not label their Makeup as hypoallergenic because someone somewhere might be allergic to a particular substance, but for over 80 years millions upon millions of People have used Mehron Makeup. Mehron Makeup has been trusted by the Performers of Vaudeville, The Clowns of Ringley Barnum Bailey, Actors and Actresses on Broadway and by Makeup Artists throughout the Movie Industry for decades. The Mehron reputation speaks for itself, but anyone can be allergic to something, so take a tip from Shelli Farber, Education Manager at Mehron, and test for allergic reactions a few days before Halloween by placing a bit of the makeup that will be used behind the ear or on a forearm, this is great advice for everyday makeup use.

Mehron was founded by Mehron Melik in 1927, who made his makeup by hand with handpicked ingredients and sold it to the Performers in New York City in person. Over 80 Years later, Mehron, under the leadership of Martin Melik still believes the best way to sell Makeup is to make a product with quality ingredients that can be trusted by all.
