Cosmetics

[stolly]

Mt 2.5 year old daughter has celiac, so I'd like to make sure my cosmetics are gluten free because I know I touch my face throughout the day. Also wondering about nail polish. I'm hoping to find inexpensive brands that I can find at Target or a drug store. I already switched to a gluten free Burt's lipstick.

I currently use: Cover Girl foundation and mascara, Revlon Colorstay eyeshadow, OPI nail polish. Does anyone know if they are gluten free? I used the search function, but didn't find anything definitive.

What brands of the following products do you use that are confirmed gluten free?

-foundation

-eye shadow

-mascara

-blush

-nail polish

Hi stolly,

This site link will be useful for you, I personally don't use nailpolish, and not a Revlon or Cover Girl user. I'm using Physicians Formula. I made that move due to switching to contacts after years of eyeglasses, so I need hypo allergic things as a contact wearer. Also, cause my son has broken my glasses a few times on me.

None of the ingredients listed for Physican's Formula appear to contain any "gluten derivates" hidden in it. The Physican's Formula website lists all its ingredients for each product on their website. It's also reasonably priced. I fully understand about needing to shop at Walmart or Target (alias Canada has no Target stores) , to make ends meet as a SAHM

Here's the site. It's a posting on a celiac site, where Maybelline lists hidden forms of "gluten" So we know what foreign words to look for.

I keep this list in my wallet, so I know what to look for when I'm buying cosmetics and hair /body products

Hope it helps.

PS. Sorry to hear about your daughter's diagnoses. I think it's harder to deal with when it affects your kids. As adults we understand more why we need to "give" something up.
