I recently contacted The Body Shop to see if any of their products are gluten free as i am super sensitive via touch as well as digesting it -- thought i'd share my reply from them! :-)

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your email and interest in The Body Shop! We have provided you with a compiled list of our products that do not contain gluten attached to this email.

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, oats, barley and rye which is found in many products. The reason we recommend consulting a physician is due to the fact there is no way for us to predict how an ingredient will affect individuals. Each person is different and an item not containing gluten may have come from a vendor that produces products that do contain gluten in the same machine. Therefore, there may be a very small trace left behind in the machine after cleaning. Depending on the severity of your reaction this trace amount may not affect you, where another person may have a very bad reaction. Gluten is not tested for due to the fact that is used intentionally in some products.

All our product formulations are subject to careful evaluation by independent external safety assessors and adhere to strict criteria.

Customers concerned about an allergy should carefully read the product label to ensure that the product contains no ingredients they are allergic to. . Please know that the ingredients to all our products, in addition to being listed on our products, can now be obtained from the website www.thebodyshop.com. Once you have selected the item you are interested in, click on the

Don't assume they are the same. I bought my first Body Shop products while living in Hong Kong years ago and when I moved back to the States I found some products either weren't available or were slightly different due to differences between UK and US regulations.

I would say if they're giving you an updated list, then go with it! :) Some companies don't give us anything, so I say that's a good start. Also, it is rare that companies will test for gluten in their cosmetics, so their response about "trace amounts" is a standard disclaimer.

And, keep in mind that lot of the info on this forum and the internet can be outdated or incorrect, so you have to take it w/ a grain of salt.

I don't use any of their cosmetics, but I do have some pink grapefruit body wash, and soaps, and I have had no reaction.

and availability of ingredients would differ perhaps in different parts of the world as well.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
