Last week I asked if everyone knew about gluten free eye creams and
lipsticks. I received the following brands as being gluten free:
Eye Cream:
Almay Some Mary Kay
Neutrogena Cover Girl
Merle Norman Shisedo
Oil of Olay Precision ("le serum lift extreme)
Two people let me in on a secret. Preparation H is what the professional
models and contestants in the Miss America contest use. Actually, I did try
this and it does help.
Lipstick
Ecco Bella Cover Girl
Almay Christian Dior
Chanel Neutrogena
Some Mary Kay
Below is a copy of a post I received:
Neutrogena and Clinique are all GF, except for their lipsticks.Someone else
suggested I call Shaklee at 1-800-946-1070 because they have alot of GF
products. Also named as GF were Almay, Sensitive Care Cream,Time-off Day
Moisture Lotion and Night Cream. Cosmetics named were Almay,Time-Off Age
Smoothing Concealer, Age Smoothing Make-up and pressed Powderand Touch-on
Blemish Stick. Ultima II, Eyesexxxy Eye Color, Revlon,Results-Brighten Up
Eye Cream, Daily Requirement Moisture Creme andDay-Light Replenisher
Moisture Lotion
Some people did recommend Clinique. I knew there was a problem with
Clinique but because of the recommendations I emailed Clinique. This is the
response I got. Read the ingredients carefully.
Dear Ms. Mingolla,
Thank you for contacting us regarding the ingredients in our products
that might be unsuitable for you to use because of your specific condition.
We are attaching a list of grain-derived ingredients, found on our
labels, which will be helpful in providing the necessary information to
assist you. This information covers products marketed under the
following trademarks: Estee Lauder, Inc.; Clinique Laboratories, Inc.;
Aramis, Inc.; Origins Natural Resources, Inc.; Bobbi Brown essentials;
Tommy Hilfiger Toiletries, and Prescriptives, Inc.
Consumers will find ingredient listings on our primary packaging
material, in accordance with FDA regulations, using names which are
standard throughout the cosmetic and fragrance industry. Because of the
vast number of raw materials from different sources, it is not possible
to guarantee that our products are completely free of any of the grains
specified. The denatured ethyl alcohol in our products is produced
synthetically.
Additionally, we appreciate the opportunity to explain that the eye area
is very delicate so you should only use products specifically formulated
for the eye. We recommend All About Eyes.
It's a cream/gel treatment formulation for the eye area. It helps
minimize the appearance of fine lines, dark circles, and reduces
puffiness. It also soothes, calms, and smoothes the skin. All About
Eyes also helps protect against future moisture loss and environmental damage.
