I don't know the answer to your question but I'm sure someone else will. I do however want to know which products you were asking about. I LOVE Dr. Hauschka products but haven't yet tried to contact them to find out which ones are gluten free. Do you mind sharing whatever information you have found so far?

I was using Dr. H - but when I called and found out the yellow colored face moisturizer (I foget the name) had wheat germ oil, I quit. They said it was gluten-free, but I was not into taking chances.

I switched to My Chelle, which I like. (I like Dr. H. better though, to be honest).

As a sidenote...I've noticed I need face lotion less than I used to. Maybe a positive side effect of Celiac.

hi

i just emailed them as well to inquire about all thier products and i got this response today:

Dear Jessica,

Thank you for your recent inquiry. Gluten, a naturally-occurring

protein in wheat and other grains, is found in hydrolyzed wheat protein

used in Dr.Hauschka Body Washes. Cleansing Milk and Herbal Hair

Conditioner contain fermented grain extract, which may also contain

gluten. These products are not suitable for people with allergies to

wheat. Those with celiac disease can safely use these products if they

avoid getting the product in the mouth. Wheat germ oil and alcohol are

wheat-derived ingredients that do not contain gluten. We have verified

to the best of our ability that no other gluten or wheat substances are

used during the manufacture of Dr.Hauschka Skin Care or its ingredients.

Please feel free to contact the Customer Service Department at the

number below with any further questions.

Kindly,

Customer Service Department

Dr.Hauschka Skin Care, Inc.

Thank you for the update. I guess it's up to the consumer to decide if wheat germ oil contains gluten or not! I haven't looked into it yet so I have no comment.
