Cover Girl Aquasmooth Foundation-anyone?

[dolly]

I have to admit that when it comes to knowing which make up is ok and which is not I am completely lost.

I would really like to try Cover Girl Aquasmooth foundation since I have very dry skin (mineral make up makes my skin look flakey). I could not find a contact number for cover girl or an email to write to. But, they do list the ingrident list on line. Problem is, I have NO idea which of the chemicals listed would be gluten based, here are the info sheets

Does anyone know from previous experience or has the knowledge to read these sheets and is able to tell me if it is gluten free????

Thanks so much!!

I am not an expert, but I learned enough to know that you will need to contact the cosmetic company directly for an answer. One of the ingredients - Tocopheryl acetate (Vitamin E) is often derived from wheatgerm. It is possible that they may have another source for it, but that needs to be confirmed.

Lush Cosmetics uses Tocopheryl acetate from a non-wheat source, but they are one of the few cosmetic companies that do (not all their products are gluten-free).

It is also possible that some of the other ingredients are derived from or contaminated with gluten - I have emailed companies for make-up options that I was certain would be safe as the ingredients were minimal and safe by themselves, but the replies indicated that the way the products were manufactured put them at risk for cross-contamination.

I hope this helps.

I used to use CG cosmetics as well as many other P&G products, but I got into it with their customer service and won't use their stuff anymore. Here's the thread from a few months ago:

Basically they can't guarantee that any of their ingredients are gluten-free nor do they truly understand the importance of gluten in cosmetics.... I guess use at your own risk. (yes, I'm fairly bitter about the subject )
