Gluten Free Cosmetics And Skin Care

Hi,

This is my first posting and I am glad I found a community. I was diagnosed this summer and have been on a gluten free diet since...lately I have been thinking about topical products and wonder if anyone has heard about any Avon Anew skin care products being safe to use. I totally have been blind about things I put on my skin, lips or hair. I have been only thinking of things I actually eat.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi, welcome to the forum :)

I don't know about Avon products specifically, one thing you can always do is call the company directly or go to the website.

I found this in the FAQ section at Avon.com:

Does Avon have a listing of products that are gluten free?

Avon VitAdvance Nutritional Supplements (with the exception of VitAdvance Hair Care from Within) are gluten free. Avon SlimWell Chocolate Frosted Peanut and Brownie Crunch Balanced Meal Bars and Balanced Meal Shakes are also gluten-free.

While supplements and food products are fairly straightforward, other Avon products present a challenge. The more obvious ingredients such as wheat proteins found in some of our shampoos and lipsticks would rule out their use by celiacs.

The alcohols used in our products (e.g., benzyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol, SD alcohol) can be derived from a grain source. Avon cannot verify the source of the alcohols used in some of our products as our vendors cannot provide us with this information.

I also found this link:

As always read the label ingredients as ingredient formulas can always change.

Hope this helps :)

Hi MaineQueen.

Are you from Maine? Welcome- I'm a Maine girl. Lancome has a gluten-free line- Rouge Absolu. Pricey but very good. I'm not sure about others although I think I've read here that Cover Girl is okay, but you'd want to check that. Bare Essentials is gluten-free, too, last I knew.

Good luck,

lisa

I sell Avon (well really just buy for myself at this point) so I have access to Avon's site for a list of ingredients and I can call them (well really anyone can). If you have a list I can look it up for you to get the ingredients if that helps any. I use their products and have no problems. I know some of their things do list wheat..so obviously I don't use that. Just trying to help..let me know!

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies c...

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

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

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
