They Put Oat Protein In Kiss My Face Lotion!

I went to buy my usual Kiss My Face lotion today (I get the unscented kind for extra sensitive skin), and I noticed that the packaging had changed. Knowing that that's a red flag for changes to the formulation, I decided to read the ingredients. THEY ADDED OAT PROTEIN!!!!! There was still one old bottle there, so I compared the two, and sure enough, the oat protein is new. I'm so mad I could spit nails; I looked high and low for a lotion I liked, finally fell in love with this one, and now they go and put gluten in it!!!!

As soon as I calm down enough to be civil, I'm going to send them a letter and ask them to please change it back. I know there are other people here who use it, because this is where I first heard about it. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, if you use this product, call or write to them and let them know what a bad move this is. Their contact info is available at Open Original Shared Link.

Well, I sent them an email, and I actually got a fairly nice - and knowledgeable! - reply back. Here's what they said:

Hi Jeanne- Thanks for taking the time to write. You are right; we did change

the formula of our moisturizer to remove the parabens. Sorry that the new

formula is not suitable for you. I sympathize; I know celiac is a tough

disease. I will definitely pass your feedback along to our product

development team. We love hearing from our customers and absolutely do

consider your input when developing new products or when tweaking our

current line. I have attached our gluten free list. Please be aware that

these products are processed in facilities that also manufacture other

products so we can not guarantee against cross contamination. Please let me

know if I can be of further help. Have a good day.

Thanks - I really appreciate the support! I actually thought her response was very nice, and maybe they will take customer feedback into account eventually. I was also glad to see that there are still some gluten-free varieties, so I'll have to try them and see if I like any of them. It's just so frustrating when they go and put gluten into a perfectly good product, but I guess we all have this experience now and then. Never stop reading labels, right?

I acutally work in the skincare retail business so I know how important the impact of customer feedback can be-positive or negative. I have fell in love with skincare over the last year and a half and have been doing a lot of thinking about starting a designated "gluten free" (plus some other common intolerences) line...no risks of CC and very effective...to my knowledge there is no one out there doing this so we certainly need it!! Well...let me know what you htink. I graduate college in 2 years so I have some time to think this over...

Best,

Staci

Hi Jeanne,

I will drop them an email, too. I know how hard it is to find a good lotion--and then to have the formula changed on you-- :angry: not fair!

I did think that was a very good response from the company--one of the best I've seen, actually. I hope they will reconsider the change, or at least maybe one of the other moisturizers will work for you :)

Sometimes we can't win for losing :D

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
