But, you're right...I missed that part of their marketing. It's definately a pet peeve of mine, calling things "allergy free." And, as you point out, they're not even free of the top 8 IgE allergens in the US. Nothing is free of allergens, since any substance can lead to allergic or non-allergic reactions.

I'm either misunderstanding something or the products at Naturenvy are NOT, in fact, free of allergens. I went to the haircare page and all 4 products listed there have some type of tree nut, and at least one also had soy! It seems they do have a lot of allergen-free products, but their claim is a bit misleading. At any rate, thanks for sharing the info. :) Just FYI… I’m either misunderstanding something or the products at Naturenvy are NOT, in fact, free of allergens.
