celiac3270 5 Posted March 29, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted March 29, 2005 You're better off with a gluten-free sunscreen, though it's not 100% necessary. The gluten molecule is too large to be absorbed through the skin. If, however, you have sunscreen on your hands and then eat something w/o first washing them, you could get contaminated. So with children, it's probably advisable. Link to post Share on other sites
Carriefaith 5 Posted March 29, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted March 29, 2005 I reacted to Neutrogena suncreen and I didn't realize that it had gluten in it. celiac3270 is right, but if you put suncreen on your face and then sweat... it will go into your mouth. That's how I got sick (I bought Neutrogena suncreen for my face). I use Banana Boat with no problems.

mamaathome 0 Posted March 29, 2005 Author Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted March 29, 2005 Thanks! We had a beautiful day here in Iowa today and I took my little one out without sunscreen for the first time in her life because I wasn't sure. Now tomorrow she can be safe from gluten AND the sun!

Thomas 2 Posted March 29, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted March 29, 2005 I'm confused... I thought Neutrogena products were gluten free... Link to post Share on other sites
KaitiUSA 9 Posted March 29, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted March 29, 2005 Only some Neutrogena products are gluten-free. I posted under products a while ago a list of gluten free products by them..take a look at it to make sure Kaiti Positive bloodwork Gluten-free since January 2004 Arkansas Jeremiah 29:11- "For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for you to prosper and not harm you,plans to give you a hope and future" "One Nation, Under God" Feel free to email me anytime....jkbrodbent@yahoo.com Link to post Share on other sites
Carriefaith 5 Posted March 29, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted March 29, 2005 The Neutrogena suncreen I used had oat extract in it. I had to look at the non-medcial ingredients, which were not on the bottle (I had to look online).
