In an effort to update and expand our list of gluten-free cosmetics, I have contacted several companies to gather information. Today I received a response from Clinique about their lipsticks and lip glosses, and they are posted on our Gluten Free Cosmetics List.
The customer service representative also sent along the following disclaimer that I have included for your information:
“While a formulation may not contain wheat, oat, barley or rye derivatives, for the benefit of our gluten-sensitive consumers who may have cross-sensitivities, Clinique takes the extra precaution of including corn, rice and soy in our research. In addressing your concern about gluten, we would like to explain that a vast number of raw materials from many different suppliers and sources are used in the manufacture of Estee Lauder Companies’ products. It is therefore not possible for us to fully guarantee that our products are completely free of ingredients that may elicit an allergic response in highly sensitive individuals who react to gluten. For example, it is possible that small amounts of a wheat sourced ingredient may remain on shared manufacturing equipment even after a thorough cleaning. We therefore recommend that you discuss this with your physician, because consumer safety is of utmost concern to us.”

I am searching for companies whose skin care products are gluten free [note: I've already had blistering reaction to Clinique Long Last Lipstick and now I know why]. My daughter and I have Celiac; she also has Dermatitis Herpetiformis. Moisturizers with SPF 15 or 30 are major search now. Can you help? Diane

Dear Jamie, Thank you so much for contacting us!
I have checked with our chemist and she assures me that our entire Organix line is gluten-free. We use only glycerin from vegetable source. Enjoy!

Dear Diane (and anyone else who stumbles in here) I have recently started using the Keys gluten-free line of moisturisers and cleansers and I love them. They have a sunscreen which I will be getting when I return to Australia in the Summer (I so hope I don’t have to order them online there) but I can personally recommend the Luminous moisturiser and the Island RX facial cleanser. I have always had a sever flushing response even to just cetaphil and have needed to re-moisturise several times during the day to avoid a painful tightness but with Luminous I some times forget to apply it at night! It’s as though I have normal skin!
Sorry for the rave but it is such a relief!
