Estee Lauder And Affiliate Co's - Ingredients

[Tinkerbabybelle]

I queried Estee Lauder for a list of their products containing gluten as I'm an avowed makeup junkie and only been gluten-free for 3 years....(no one including Columbia Presbyterian informed me that topical preparations containing gluten are cause for concern). I came across the new line of cosmetics at Kohl's which is a joint venture between Estee Lauder and a renowned dermatologist and was amazed by the quality and the presentation...who'd of thought!

Anyhow, I'm erring on the cautionary side and did receive this comprehensive list of ingredients used by the company in their products and wanted to share this with the group. This is my first posting and hope it proves as beneficial as the information I have received since signing on to this site. The members have been so generous in spirit and it is comforting to know that there is such an invaluable resource available at the click of a mouse. Many thanks!

This information covers products marketed under the following trademarks: Estie Lauder, Inc.; Clinique Laboratories, Inc.; Aramis, Inc.; Origins Natural Resources, Inc.; Bobbi Brown essentials; Tommy Hilfiger Toiletries, MAC, Stila, and Prescriptives, Inc.

Consumers will find ingredient listings on our primary packaging material, in accordance with FDA regulations, using names which are standard throughout the cosmetic and fragrance industry.
