REPLIES FROM THE COMPANIES
COVER GIRL
[log in to unmask]
We as a company go to great lengths to ensure that our products are safe for
consumer use.
If wheat and/or wheat extract is directly added to the formula, it will be
listed in the Ingredient Statement, on the label. If it is not listed on the
Ingredient Statement, then no gluten is directly added to the product.
If wheat or a wheat extract is added to the perfume it will not be listed
separately on the label, but potentially present at a very low level.
If you are concerned about using a product with a perfume, I recommend that
you use a "Fragrance Free" product .
Thanks,
GoliD.

Thank you for having taken the time to write, we appreciate hearing your
comments and concerns.
In reply to your query, we cannot claim our lipsticks are gluten-free.
Some products contain hydrolyzed vegetable or plant proteins. Should you
wish to receive the formulation of our lipsticks, please email the name of
the products in question.
We trust this is satisfactory and invite you to email us should you require
additional product information.
Sincerely,
Maureen Mullins

All of our products are gluten free including the Lipsticks. They do not
contain wheat, oats, barley or rye either.
