Victoria's Secret Makeup Is Gluten Free

[Jeanniebug]

I just wanted to let everyone know, I called Victoria's Secret at 800-411-5116 (just keep hitting "zero" until you get a consultant) to inquire about gluten in their makeup.

The rep put me on hold and called their makeup developers. They said their entire makeup line is gluten-free. I asked if there were possible cross-contamination issues. She called again and was told no, they can say with 100% certainty their entire line is gluten-free.

I don't have this in writing, but this is the phone number if anyone wants to check for themselves. If anyone gets conflicting information, please post it!

I love V's Secret lipsticks and glosses so, this is good news for me.

but some of their eyeshadows are not paraben free and from what I've read about parabens (environmental link to hormonal changes and cancer to name a few). It's been one month and my daughter is still whining about the green shadow that I wouldn't let her buy.

True if you're avoiding parabens they are not paraben-free that I know of. Gluten-free yes.

Email from VS dated Oct 1, 2009, I asked if their makeup was gluten free:

Thank you for your e-mail regarding gluten in our makeup. We are pleased to assist you with your inquiry.

We can provide you with the ingredient listing for any specific product you are inquiring on; however, we are unable to make any guarantees that it doesn't appear in trace amounts due to the processing of other ingredients and 2nd and 3rd generation by-products (i.e., ingredients used to make the ingredients in our products). We would always recommend that you check with your physician prior to using any product that you might have a concern about.

If you need further assistance, please reply to this e-mail or call anytime.

We truly value you as a customer and look forward to serving you again. Thank you for contacting Victoria's Secret.

Sincerely,

Evelyn O.

Wow conflicting information...it drives me nuts! I had emailed them several times and for whatever reason could never get a reply.

Their statement is interesting...how would my physician know if their 2nd or 3rd generation by-product ingredients contained gluten? Precisely the reason for asking... ugh!!
