</script></div><p>Since my son suffers from mild itchiness of the skin when using ordinary body washes, I was researching alternate body washes and found a few products labeled &#8220;hypo-allergenic&#8221;. I have come across this label before and have not paid much attention to it. But imagine my surprise when I found that Wikipedia <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoallergenic">defined the term</a> to be a &#8220;marketing&#8221; term with no medical basis! Wow! And to think that I bought a couple of brands of body washes based on this term thinking it might be suitable for my son. I&#8217;ll still try these brands and see if they cause less irritation to my son&#8217;s skin. I am also planning to try Tom&#8217;s Body Soap &#8212; seems like this does not have Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate and has all natural vegetable based ingredients.</p>
