Cerave products - are they safe? Body wash and shampoo recs

[accio-cattio]

I apologise if this has been asked many times before! I'm newly diagnosed and only now just learning that gluten can appear in just about anything, even outside of the kitchen. Luckily I keep very low maintenance and don't use much in the way of skincare anyway, but what I do use I would like to make sure it's entirely safe. Has anyone had any issues with Cerave products causing reactions? I can't see any gluten ingredients so I'm inclined to believe they're safe? 

Also, what body washes and shampoos do you recommend? I've come to learn that wheat protein seems to be a massive one when it comes to conditioner which is incredibly frustrating.

The first one looks ok, but the 2nd one contais sodium Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate. This ingredient is a modified starch. While it's often derived from corn or potatoes, it's worth confirming that it is not sourced from wheat in case you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
