Bath & Body Works?

[sassiskull]

Ive been going through every lotion, shampoo makeup ect trying to figure out what my 3 yr old may be reacting from. I noticed on Bath & Body Works anti bac they clearly list wheat in ingrediants. Ive researched many threads on here and have mainly noticed to be on the look for certain ingrediants but have been curious on many saying ditch the bath and body works. I called them today and don't feel right at all about their products. She told me to check the website cosmeticinfo.org for help as they cant tell me if something is gluten free themselves? I figured maybe the website was a link off theirs listing allergens but its actually a generic website listing what ingrediants are "usually" found in cosmetics, lotions ect. This does not help me esp with the fragrence and perfumes added to these products. The girl on the phone did tell me they do their "best" to list allergens on label. What exactly does "best" mean??? Do cosmetic companies have to list ALL ingrediants same as food has too? I want to be sure! Esp since my 3 year old is really into lotions and pretty smelling things. We currently ditched the anti bacs since they list wheat amino acids, but what about body lotion, body cream, and body sprays?? Im about ready to ditch them all and stick to a good unscented lotion!

I love the smell of their products but I honestly haven't had any luck with them. I finally gave up on all of their products after washing my hands with their soap and then noticed that hydrolyzed wheat gluten was listed in the ingredients. If a company has to use wheat in their soap, its not for me!

Purell hand sanitizer is gluten free. I LOVE Johnsons Baby Night Time lotion. It has a great scent that reminds me of Bath and Body Works. Their Cocoa butter and Shea is gluten free as well.

I have read on here that Suave lotions are gluten free and they have a lot of the same scents as Bath and Body. Maybe someone else will chime in regarding Suave b/c I am not positive. I am sure that the Johnsons baby lotions are Gluten-Free though.

Thank you, I called on her Johnsons the other day and got a much better reply . Hey Johnsons is half the cost of their 10.50 lotion anyway

just be careful with those types of "lotions". not that they contain gluten, it's that they contain alcohols that dry out your skin worse than without gluten. plus, a lot of the perfumes and dyes in them can be irritating. i use the vaseline intense creme whatever it's called, and neutrogena. both of them are "no scents added". also, you get a better handcream when it says "cream" instead of "lotion". much better for your skin. believe me, i have been through them all. i used to get such bad dry hands that they would crack, bleed, and were SO painful!!!! i would go to bed at night with pure vaseline on my hands, with gloves to keep it on!!!!

good luck!
