Gluten Free Facial Cleansers?

Does anyone have any information on whether or not MD Formulations product line is all gluten free? They are the same company as Bare Escentuals, which I gather from reading the posts here, is a gluten-free product line. Most product lines I have looked at are some gluten-free some not and I worry about cross contamination. I also need a line that has sensitive skin products (for me) and acne/teen products (for dd).

Thanks for any info!

I use Mychelle skin care products. You can get them at Whole Foods or at www.mychelleusa.com They are all gluten free and natural and very good.

I e-mailed them to ask about their facial cleanser, Vit A Plus eye creme, Vit A Plus night recovery, Moisture Defense antioxidant serum, facial lotion, and Moisture Defense antioxidant eye creme. Here is their response:

I was very impressed because they e-mailed me back the same day on a Sunday.

I switched to MyChelle recently and like it quite a bit. Also, my stepdaughter has some issues with acne and was using ProActiv which I hate (treats your skin really badly, even if it does work). MyChelle has a whole program for acne prone skin. She uses it. Her skin is not completely perfect on it - but healthier. She has quit the ProActiv.

The stuff really smells good too.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise. Is that false?
