<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Well, the verdict is in. According to the responding listees, Chapstik is not gluten free. One confirmed this with the company recently. Suggested alternatives are: Vaseline Lip Therapy by Cheeseborough/Ponds, Neutrogena lip moisturizer, Vaseline, and Banana Boat Aloe Vera. As with so many other things, chapstik is now 86'ed from my house! :-) Wishing you a happy and healthy 1999! Regards, Heather Oklahoma City, OK USA
