Subject: Q: Wheat free ingredients

Hi, I just discovered your products and would like to know if the lipsticks,
mascara etc., have any wheat, barley or gluten based sources as binders,
etc.  I read the ingredient list and they seem safe for  me, but I wonder
about the source of your Vitamin E.

Could you plz reply.  I belong to a group of persons with a condition making
use of those ingredients intolerable.


Thank you.
Nancy


Dear Nancy
No we do not have wheat,barley or gluten in our lipsticks or mascara. Our
Vanilla Bean Cond,Eau de Parfums along with Hair & Scalp Cond does have
gluten in them. But not in our cosmetics.



RE: SPICE HUNTER:  The Spice Hunter Spice Co. indicated to me over the
phone they are GF unless otherwise noted.  When I asked them regarding
Sources for the individual blends they assured me they have 'no detectable
Glutens" and the anti caking agents are not glutanous.

They mix and blend the spices domestically in CA and clean their lines,
tho' will not guarantee anything.
