I received responses from three people to my question if Coppertone Suntan Lotion and Off Bug Spray are gluten free...


**? When I called last year customer service told me that Skintastic family care insect repellent OFF was gluten free.

**? Probably, but there is a big article on www.mercola.com about how 3/4 of the commercial sunscreens do not give the full SPF factor they advertise, and some of the chemicals commonly used in them are dangerous to the skin, maybe even a cancer risk.

I have found alot of helpful information on his website.

**? As far as I know, what is put on the skin gets absorbed into the blood stream, but not the digestive system, so neither should be a problem.?

I do know I'm VERY sensitive to gluten and have not had a problem with Neutrogena sun screen or DEET.? I've used Off without a problem, although since I live in the Sierra and hike to places with mosquitoes so thick you can barely see the person 6 feet in front of you, I usually use 100% DEET.

Thanks for all that responded.
