New Neutrogena List As Of 6/12/07

I e-mailed Neutrogena about their list as ones I found on here were kinda old. Here is one I got Today, posting it for others. I noticed this says "Wheat Free", so I am still going to check the ingredient lists for Barley or Oats, but I feel if they are going to have some sort of hidden additive it probally will be wheat and not barely or oats.

Dear Anna:

Thank you for contacting Neutrogena

Thanks for the list! :)

I would check for oats though...oats are a fairly common ingredient in personal products...I think just about as common as wheat. Probably much less common for barley.

I agree they are VERY common, I had to throw out so many products I had with it. I just think that if they are going to use oats, it will probally list it as it's a good selling point or have it as a main incredient, not hidden under terms "fragrance" or something as a filler.

I have seen barley listed in quite a few clinique products, that kind of surprised me.

Guess I'll have to be watching out for barley more closely...especially since I use Clinique products. :blink:

All the stuff I've seen it is has been right in the ingerdient list, not hidden at all. I think I saw it in the Liquid mild soap.. I did a post last week on Clinique products and the phone number to call to check the stuff out is in there.

They also check for soy, corn, and rice. :)

Are you refering to ingredient lists on the product packaging, or at the store? None of the Clinique products I have, even the ones I bought recently, have ingredients lists on them at all. I'm in Canada (don't know if there is a difference in Clinique product packaging from US)...apparently all personal products are supposed to now have ingredients lists on them (as of November 2006)...is Clinique not required to follow this regulation? Or are the products they're selling dated pre- Nov 06?

I just bought "Superbalanced Makeup" and that's ingedients are on the box, But the "Calming Cleanser" has the ingedients on the tube itself. I'm in the US, and as long as I remember there has always been ingredients listed. I would contact clinique to be safest, wonder if they change inactive ingredients between countries?

I wonder too. The regular items I bought have no ingredients, but the box from the bonus set does. It's entirely possible that the bonus was newer stuff, so it complies with current regulations. So I did check the listing for the liquid mild soap (it's a small tube in the bonus set) and there is no barley listed that I could see. I did find out that both the mascara and eye shadow has ingredients in them to which I'm allergic (chromium) so I'll just have to pitch them out. Sigh, it sucks to have to watch out for so many allergens!

Thank you for posting! The Triple Moisture shampoos and conditioners work great. :)

That was some of what I was looking at getting, I am not 100% that my current shampoo is gluten-free, It lists none, but you never know!

I am bummed however that the face lotion that provides SPF 15 Protection and Sunless Tanning is not on the list. The Body version is, but the face isnt' :(

I may have to look into clinique's to see if that is ok for me.

Sunny, thank you! You are very sweet to post this. I use a lot of Neutrogena, and luckily haven't had to throw out a lot of stuff too.

For Clinique, I spent about an hour in the store reading the tiny print and finally got some anti-aging day cream! Almost all had barley or wheat.

Saturday at WalMart, Neutrogena Body Lotion had an oats (or was it barley - sorry didn't write it down) ingredient listed, but the fragrance free body emulsion didn't.

      @BlessedinBoston, it is possible that in Canada the product in question is formulated differently than in the USA or at least processed in in a facility that precludes cross contamination. I assume from your user name that you are in the USA. And it is also possible that the product meets the FDA requirement of not more than 20ppm of gluten but you are a super sensitive celiac for whom that standard is insufficient.

      No,Lindt is not gluten free no matter what they say on their website. I found out the hard way when I was newly diagnosed in 2000. At that time the Lindt truffles were just becoming popular and were only sold in small specialty shops at the mall. You couldn't buy them in any stores like today and I was obsessed with them 😁. Took me a while to get around to checking them and was heartbroken when I saw they were absolutely not gluten free 😔. Felt the same when I realized Twizzlers weren't either. Took me a while to get my diet on order after being diagnosed. I was diagnosed with small bowel non Hodgkins lymphoma at the same time. So it was a very stressful time to say the least. Hope this helps 😁.

      @Jmartes71, I understand your frustration and anger.  I've been in a similar situation where no doctor took me seriously, accused me of making things up, and eventually sent me home to suffer alone.   My doctors did not recognize nutritional deficiencies.  Doctors are trained in medical learning institutions that are funded by pharmaceutical companies.  They are taught which medications cover up which symptoms.  Doctors are required to take twenty  hours of nutritional education in seven years of medical training.  (They can earn nine hours in Nutrition by taking a three day weekend seminar.)  They are taught nutritional deficiencies are passe' and don't happen in our well fed Western society any more.  In Celiac Disease, the autoimmune response and inflammation affects the absorption of ALL the essential vitamins and minerals.  Correcting nutritional deficiencies caused by malabsorption is essential!  I begged my doctor to check my Vitamin D level, which he did only after making sure my insurance would cover it.  When my Vitamin D came back extremely low, my doctor was very surprised, but refused to test for further nutritional deficiencies because he "couldn't make money prescribing vitamins.". I believe it was beyond his knowledge, so he blamed me for making stuff up, and stormed out of the exam room.  I had studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I switched because I was curious what vitamins from our food were doing in our bodies.  Vitamins are substances that our bodies cannot manufacture, so we must ingest them every day.  Without them, our bodies cannot manufacture life sustaining enzymes and we sicken and die.   At home alone, I could feel myself dying.  It's an unnerving feeling, to say the least, and, so, with nothing left to lose, I relied in my education in nutrition.  My symptoms of Thiamine deficiency were the worst, so I began taking high dose Thiamine.  I had health improvement within an hour.  It was magical.  I continued taking high dose thiamine with a B Complex, magnesium. and other essential nutrients.  The health improvements continued for months.  High doses of thiamine are required to correct a thiamine deficiency because thiamine affects every cell and mitochondria in our bodies.    A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function.  The cerebellum of the brain is most affected.  The cerebellum controls things we don't have to consciously have to think about, like digestion, balance, breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, hormone regulation, and many more.  Thiamine is absorbed from the digestive tract and sent to the most important organs like the brain and the heart.  This leaves the digestive tract depleted of Thiamine and symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency localized in the digestive system, begin to appear.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi include anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, headaches, Gerd, acid reflux, gas, slow stomach emptying, gastroparesis, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation, incontinence, abdominal pain, IBS,  SIBO, POTS, high blood pressure, heart rate changes like tachycardia, difficulty swallowing, Barrett's Esophagus, peripheral neuropathy, and more. Doctors are only taught about thiamine deficiency in alcoholism and look for the classic triad of symptoms (changes in gait, mental function, and nystagmus) but fail to realize that gastrointestinal symptoms can precede these symptoms by months.  All three classic triad of symptoms only appear in fifteen percent of patients, with most patients being diagnosed with thiamine deficiency post mortem.  I had all three but swore I didn't drink, so I was dismissed as "crazy" and sent home to die basically.   Yes, I understand how frustrating no answers from doctors can be.  I took OTC Thiamine Hydrochloride, and later thiamine in the forms TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Benfotiamine to correct my thiamine deficiency.  I also took magnesium, needed by thiamine to make those life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins, so the other B vitamins must be supplemented as well.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   A doctor can administer high dose thiamine by IV along with the other B vitamins.  Again, Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine should be given if only to rule Gastrointestinal Beriberi out as a cause of your symptoms.  If no improvement, no harm is done. Share the following link with your doctors.  Section Three is especially informative.  They need to be expand their knowledge about Thiamine and nutrition in Celiac Disease.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test for thiamine deficiency.  This test is more reliable than a blood test. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Best wishes!

      I have been diagnosed with celiac in 1994, in remission not eating wheat and other foods not to consume  my household eats wheat.I have diagnosed sibo, hernia ibs, high blood pressure, menopause, chronic fatigue just to name a few oh yes and Barrett's esophagus which i forgot, I currently have bumps in back of my throat, one Dr stated we all have bumps in the back of our throat.Im in pain.Standford specialist really dismissed me and now im really in limbo and trying to get properly cared for.I found a new gi and new pcp but its still a mess and medical is making it look like im a disability chaser when Im actively not well I look and feel horrible and its adding anxiety and depression more so.Im angery my condition is affecting me and its being down played

      Wondering if anyone knows whether Lindt chocolate balls are gluten free. The Lindt Canadian website says yes but the Lindt USA website says no. The information is a bit confusing.
