Gluten Free Cosmetics and Skin Care

Below is a list of gluten free beauty products. I will only list the brands that confirm they are gluten free and safe along with some notes for some companies. Remember wheat free does not mean gluten free so if you contact a company about their products and they cannot validate, please use a company that can confirm gluten free products. I DO suggest checking the company’s website in case of changes.
There are a lot of products at Whole Foods that carry gluten free beauty products. Please check with the store to confirm products.
Bare Escentuals
Afterglow Cosmetics
Smashbox Cosmetics
Avon
Suave (In labeling their products Suave follows the guidelines established by the International Nomenclature for Cosmetics Ingredients (INCI) process. Therefore, if they use an ingredient derived from a grain such as wheat, oat, rye, and/or barley, those names will appear on the label.)
Softsoap liquid hand soap and body wash. All varieties
Softlips Lip Balms (product will say gluten free on the back of the package)
ChapStick® lip balm
Crest toothpaste
Dove (In labeling their products Dove follows the guidelines established by the International Nomenclature for Cosmetics Ingredients (INCI) process. Therefore, if they use an ingredient derived from a grain such as wheat, oat, rye, and/or barley, those names will appear on the label.) I use Dove sensitive skin soap and have no problem.

Kiss My Face
Kiss My Face is another line that is sensitive to Celiacs. On their
website's FAQ page they list products that are gluten free. However, the company stresses that they cannot guarantee that there is no cross contamination, and thus people with severe intolerances should be warned.

Neutrogena
Neutrogena cannot confirm that their products are gluten free.  There is no listing of all of the GF Neutrogena products and you should call Neutrogena with specific product concerns. On a side note the oil-free moisturizer is gluten free.
Vaseline-all Vaseline products, except for the Total Moisture Lotion (packaged in a yellow bottle), are gluten free!

When new products come out or if I find new products I will let you know, or you can email me at glutenfreelikeme@gmail.com
