Comment on Allergy to hypoallergenic pillow?
harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoI wonder if it has to do with the Tencel being made from the wood, not the leaves - that there’d be less oil in the wood versus the leaves?

Could be… also, the real allergen tends to show up in the essential oil, which is highly concentrated.

Yeah, essential oils are pretty potent. As are the delusions some folks have about them.
The leaves probably have the highest concentration but there’s oil throughout the whole tree.
In reading on how the Tencel is made, it doesn’t appear that they do anything special to remove oils, just making sure the fibers are flexible and “dry.”
