:o I thought I had read the label but I guess I didn't read it well enough cuz there it is on the 6th line up from the bottom: Triticum Vulgare (wheat) Germ Oil. :angry:

We won't discuss how many bottles I have bought on sale so I could save a bit of money. :blink: And of course I no longer have the receipts. :ph34r:

I hope the ladies at the homeless shelter like them!

Oh yeah - the lotion is St. Ives Swiss Formula Advanced Body Moisturizer Collagen Elastin.

I purchase all of my personal care products from Cleure. Their entire product line is Gluten-free, including hair care, skin care, cosmetics, toothpaste, and tons of other stuff that I love! Also, all of their products are free of sulfates, parabens, aluminum (awesome deodorant B) , I like the spray formula).. check them out online!

I like that it gets a good rating on Skin Deep but unfortunately money is a big issue and Cleure body lotion costs more than 100 times per ounce ( ~$2.75 compared to less than 20 cents) than what I can get at Walmart. And that's before figuring in shipping.

You apply the lotion with your hands, so now your hands (and for that matter the rest of you) are now contaminated with a thin coating of wheat which will transfer to anything you touch including lip gloss, dental floss, finger foods, etc.

It's just safest not to use products that contain wheat. ;)
