When it comes to personal hygiene, choosing the right toilet paper is crucial, especially for those with sensitive skin.
Traditional toilet paper often contains harsh chemicals, fragrances, and dyes that can lead to discomfort and irritation. That's where hypoallergenic toilet paper comes into play.
Hypoallergenic options are made from materials that prioritize skin health.
If you or anyone in your household has sensitive skin, you'll want to join us here in our exploration of the benefits of hypoallergenic toilet paper and what choice would be best for your needs.
What is Hypoallergenic Toilet Paper?
Hypoallergenic toilet paper is designed to minimize the risk of allergic reactions or skin irritation for individuals with sensitive skin.
Unlike traditional toilet paper, which may contain harsh chemicals, fragrances, and dyes, hypoallergenic options are made from materials that are less likely to irritate sensitive skin.
Hypoallergenic toilet paper is typically free from common irritants, making it a safer choice for those prone to allergies or skin conditions such as eczema.
Individuals who experience irritation from traditional toilet paper often experience a reaction to the presence of fragrances, dyes, or other chemicals used in the manufacturing process, which can irritate sensitive skin.
The texture and thickness of the paper can also be a factor. Rough or overly coarse toilet paper might cause discomfort. Some may have allergies or be sensitive to certain materials included in toilet paper, such as recycled content or some additives.
Best Materials for Sensitive Skin
ecoHiny has great news for anyone with sensitive skin. The possibility to have an irritant-free toilet paper experience is possible! There are a few options you can rely on to keep your skin soothed when you've got to go.
Unbleached Recycled Paper
Unbleached recycled toilet paper is made from recycled materials that have not undergone the traditional bleaching process. This means that the fibers retain their natural color and may have a more earthy, brown appearance compared to traditional white toilet paper.
Since it is not bleached, it avoids the use of harsh chemicals such as chlorine, which can irritate sensitive skin.
Unbleached recycled toilet paper is often free from dyes and synthetic fragrances that can cause irritation, making it a suitable choice for those with sensitive skin. However, the trade-off is in the texture.
Recycled toilet paper often has a rougher texture than traditional brands. It can be quite unpleasant to use recycled paper on sensitive skin, as it can cause irritation despite the lack of additives.
Another downside is that it's possible for recycled toilet paper to contain residue from the various manufacturing stages required in its production. Also, since recycled paper is made from many materials, it's possible someone could have an allergy to one of those substances, causing skin irritation.
Cotton Toilet Paper
Toilet paper made with real cotton fibers can be exceptionally soft and contain more natural ingredients than traditional toilet paper.
The drawback here is that it's an extremely rare option. Few brands tout natural cotton fibers in their toilet paper, and those still include traditional wood pulp as the main ingredient. The only true cotton option lies in reusable cloth toilet paper.
On top of that, real cotton fiber toilet paper is still susceptible to the bleaching process and added chemicals that individuals with sensitive skin want to steer away from.
100% Bamboo Toilet Paper
When it comes to sensitive skin, there's one option that truly checks all the boxes.
Bamboo toilet paper is the way to guarantee you're getting toilet paper tailor-made for sensitive skin. Thanks to the incredible qualities of bamboo, skin irritation, pain, and discomfort don't have to be a reality any longer.
The bamboo plant itself (which is the only ingredient in ecoHiny) is naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic. Bamboo contains a unique antibacterial agent known as bamboo kun. This naturally occurring characteristic deters pathogens, making it less likely to cause allergic reactions on sensitive skin. (1)
Additionally, bamboo fibers are extremely long. Their length adds both softness and strength to toilet paper. Longer fibers mean they're more pliable, so there's an added flexibility to bamboo toilet paper.
It's the perfect balance of a gentle experience with paper that promises to get the job done.
Why Avoid Traditional Toilet Paper?
For people with sensitive skin, it's best to choose one of the above options. Here's why.
Traditional toilet paper often undergoes a bleaching process that uses chlorine and other harsh chemicals. These substances can irritate sensitive skin and disrupt its natural barrier.
Many traditional toilet papers are infused with fragrances and colored using dyes, which can lead to allergic reactions and irritation for those with sensitivities.
Some toilet papers contain additives or materials that may provoke allergies in sensitive individuals. This includes recycled content, which can carry residues from various manufacturing processes.

As a bonus, bamboo is truly a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional toilet paper.
