Victoria's Secret Makeup Is Gluten Free

I just wanted to let everyone know, I called Victoria's Secret at 800-411-5116 (just keep hitting "zero" until you get a consultant) to inquire about gluten in their makeup.

The rep put me on hold and called their makeup developers. They said their entire makeup line is gluten-free. I asked if there were possible cross-contamination issues. She called again and was told no, they can say with 100% certainty their entire line is gluten-free.

I don't have this in writing, but this is the phone number if anyone wants to check for themselves. If anyone gets conflicting information, please post it! :)

I love V's Secret lipsticks and glosses so, this is good news for me. :)

but some of their eyeshadows are not paraben free and from what I've read about parabens (environmental link to hormonal changes and cancer to name a few). It's been one month and my daughter is still whining about the green shadow that I wouldn't let her buy.

True if you're avoiding parabens they are not paraben-free that I know of. Gluten-free yes.

Email from VS dated Oct 1, 2009, I asked if their makeup was gluten free:

Thank you for your e-mail regarding gluten in our makeup. We are pleased to assist you with your inquiry.

We can provide you with the ingredient listing for any specific product you are inquiring on; however, we are unable to make any guarantees that it doesn't appear in trace amounts due to the processing of other ingredients and 2nd and 3rd generation by-products (i.e., ingredients used to make the ingredients in our products). We would always recommend that you check with your physician prior to using any product that you might have a concern about.

If you need further assistance, please reply to this e-mail or call anytime.

We truly value you as a customer and look forward to serving you again. Thank you for contacting Victoria's Secret.

Sincerely,

Evelyn O.

Wow conflicting information...it drives me nuts! :P I had emailed them several times and for whatever reason could never get a reply.

Their statement is interesting...how would my physician know if their 2nd or 3rd generation by-product ingredients contained gluten? Precisely the reason for asking... ugh!!

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, the yeast could have been cultured on a wheat substrate. But another batch may use a yeast extract cultured on something else that did not contain gluten. These food companies will switch suppliers according to what is the cheapest source at any given time. I take it you are a pretty sensitive celiac.

      The regular cheddar and sour cream Ruffles have yeast extract, which is probably the source of gluten.  Pinpointing the exact cause of gluten exposure is always tricky, but I've come to learn my initial reaction to gluten compared to the ongoing symptoms that will occur days, weeks, and sometimes months later.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, that's probably best. (Honestly, that is an extraordinarily high number, I've never seen anything like that. I repeated my blood tests (not taken while pregnant BTW); before giving up cake, pizza, and beer, I wanted to know for sure! You don't wanna mess around with anything while pregnant. Congratulations and best of luck!

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      Here are the ingredients listed for the regular sour cream and cheddar Ruffles: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Canola, Corn, Soybean, and/or Sunflower Oil), Maltodextrin (Made from Corn), Salt, Whey, Cheddar Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Onion Powder, Monosodium Glutamate, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Buttermilk, Sour Cream (Cultured Cream, Skim Milk), Lactose, Butter (Cream, Salt), Sodium Caseinate, Yeast Extract, Citric Acid, Skim Milk, Blue Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Lactic Acid, Garlic Powder, Artificial Color (Yellow 6, Yellow 5), Whey Protein Isolate, and Milk Protein Concentrate. CONTAINS MILK INGREDIENTS. Here are the ingredients listed for the baked ones: INGREDIENTS: DRIED POTATOES, CORN STARCH, CORN OIL, SUGAR, MALTODEXTRIN (MADE FROM CORN), SALT, SOY LECITHIN, DEXTROSE, WHEY, WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, ONION POWDER, CHEDDAR CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, BLUE CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), CITRIC ACID, ARTIFICIAL COLOR (YELLOW 6 LAKE, YELLOW 5 LAKE, YELLOW 5, YELLOW 6), SKIM MILK, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, GARLIC POWDER, LACTIC ACID, DISODIUM INOSINATE, AND DISODIUM GUANYLATE. CONTAINS MILK AND SOY INGREDIENTS   They look a lot the same except for the baked product contains soy. What do you suppose is the hidden source of gluten in the regular Ruffles that is not found in the baked ones? Could you be mistaken in attributing your reaction to the Ruffles? Could it have been from gluten in something else you ate around the same time or even a non-gluten tummy event?

      @plumbago on my blood tests I got 4500 and normal should be between 25-30 but they wanted me to continue eating gluten until a endoscopy was done and also biopsies taken. I’ve took it upon myself to cut gluten out today based on the research I’ve done about it during pregnancy
