Very interesting article on gluten in cosmetics and skin care products:

http://news.yahoo.com/gluten-cosmetics-threaten-those-celiac-disease-183015235.html


The key point of the article:

"The findings are alarming because gluten-containing cosmetics can be inadvertently obtained by the consumer and use of these products can result in an exacerbation of celiac disease," researcher Dr. Pia Prakash said in a college news release. "This study revealed that information about the ingredients, including the potential gluten content, in cosmetics is not readily available."
