Toxins are a huge concern in our health and beauty industry here in the United States. I was astonished to find out that Europe bans over a THOUSAND toxic chemicals from their personal care products that the U.S. allows in ours! Many of these are hormone disruptors, carcinogens, and neurotoxins.

Thankfully, we can check our products here on the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep database.

And thanks to consumer demand, finding chemical-free beauty products is becoming easier all the time.

However, I know that many of you, especially those of you with Celiac, need gluten-free products, as well. Below is a resource for you in your search for products that meet your standards.

Nota Bene: I have not tried all of these products.

Please, check with the manufacturer to make sure there haven’t been any changes since this list was created and always check product ingredient labels.

100% Pure products may not be GF.“Most of our products are gluten free. We are sensitive to this since we know many people suffer from gluten allergies. One common ingredient that contains gluten is Vitamin E. But the Vitamin E we use is gluten free because it’s derived from cold pressing rice bran.”

Bare Minerals is NOT gluten-free.“Many of our products do not contain ingredients derived from barley, oats, rye, spelt or wheat, which are commonly known sources of gluten. However, due to the wide range of raw materials and equipment used during the manufacturing of our products, we cannot confirm that our products are free from any traces of gluten. If you have specific questions or concerns regarding gluten, and the ingredients contained in our formulas, we recommend that you consult your physician.”
