Baby Shampoo And Sunscreen

[e&j0304]

Does anyone know? I use Johnson's baby shampoo and Gerber Grins and Giggles, as well as Baby Magic baby wash. Also I use cover girl loose powder on my face and Ella plays with the brosh and puts it on her face...is that ok???

For some reason I never thought of all this stuff!

We use Banana Boat Baby Magic Sunscreen....anyone know about that?

Thanks so much...this almost seems more overwhelming the more I know!

Also, what about infants and/or childrens Tylenol and Motrin? I just tried to call them and their offices are closed.

Thanks so much!

I haven't cked these myself, but here is info from some pretty reliable sites:

Go here and scroll down to Shampoos..you'll see Johnson's baby shampoo is listed as gluten-free: Open Original Shared Link

Go here, its lists gluten-free baby products--might find something else you use: Open Original Shared Link

Kaiti once posted that banana boat sunscreens are gluten-free... Is that true for the baby magic?

Also, this is probably a bit more than Johnson's...but some products I've found and LOVE, is california baby. (www.californiababy.com) All their products are gluten-free/cf and they have bubble bath, body washes, sunscreens, lotions etc--and it is for babies and sensitive adults. Great products, free of most chemicals too.

Hang in there--you will figure it all out in time!

Thanks so much for the links. Those will be very helpful. I am also wondering about Cover Girl and Revlon cosmetics. Does anyone know about these? I use the loose cover girl powder and my daughter loves to pretend putting it on the the make-up brush. I hope she's not getting gluten all over her face!

Thanks again,

Shannon

Shannon-

I don't know about the makeup off the top of my head...you will probably need to call on those, unless someone here knows for sure. My experience with my makeup was that the responses from the "mainline" companies were always somewhat cryptic, and often did not satisfy my fears of contamination. I actually choose to get rid of my makeup and switch to another brand. ...And that was hard b/c I had a TON of makeup! You may not wish to do the same, but either way I'll recommend Bare Escentuals makeup to you. You can purchase at sephora.com or on QVC. Quite a few of us use the brand here--all their makeup is gluten-free. I especially like their loose powder b/c it is made from cornstarch, and not talc...which I stay away from. If you are interested, their powder is called "Mineral Veil". I highly recommend it.

Here are a few off the top of my head:

CoverGirl Continuous Color lipstick is gluten free

Burt's Bees, powders, lipsticks, lip gloss, chapstick , and many more products are gluten free

Bare Escentuals whole line is gluten free

Thanks to everyone who posted. Here is what Cover Girl had to say when I asked if their products contain gluten, specifically the loose powder:

I need to know if this product contains any form of gluten. It would also be nice to know if any of your products contain gluten.

Thanks for contacting CoverGirl, Shannon.

We know Celiac is a serious disease, so we want to give you clear information

regarding the use of our beauty care products. If wheat and/or gluten aren't

directly added to a product by us, these ingredients won't be listed on our

packages. Like many companies, we often purchase the scents for fragranced

products from outside suppliers, and the components of these substances are

proprietary information belonging to those companies. Therefore it's possible

that a very small amount (generally parts per million) of gluten may be present.

We sought advice from physicians; they told us it would be very unlikely a

person with Celiac disease would have a reaction from a trace amount of gluten

coming into contact with his skin or hair. This is because wheat, rye, barley

and/or gluten generally cause symptoms when they're ingested. Since our beauty

care products are designed to be used externally on the skin, their use

shouldn't be an issue for someone with this disease.

Since gluten sensitivity can vary among people, it would be best if you

consulted with your physician about the use of all types of consumable goods, if

you haven't already. You might even consider using one of our fragrance free

products that doesn't list gluten or wheat extracts on the label.

I hope this response has been helpful to you. For more information about

Celiac, you may want to check out Open Original Shared Link and Open Original Shared Link
