Nope - not at all. In fact, many hypoallergenic products contain very few of what most people would consider 'natural'* ingredients (the skincare brand Clinique is a good example of this). 'Natural' products are often more problematic for people with contact allergies than non-natural products. Hypoallergenic means different things in different countries, but normally that means that the product does not contain anything that is a known common allergen. Very few 'natural' products can claim that.
*Natural is relative, however. Everything's made from something, somehow, and most 'chemical' ingredients are derived from 'natural' sources (scare quotes because these are slippery terms). Also, natural isn't necessarily safe - cyanide can be made from almonds and other seeds, arsenic is naturally occurring in many minerals, and so on.
