So I've been killing myself trying to find make up without gluten ...still having a hard time with unscented moisturizer. I was using neutrogena oil free for sensitive skin and was told by the company it contains gluten. Been using garnier and finding it has a smell and feels kinda icky to me. I am currently waiting on a moisturizer from the graftobian.com website where i buy my HD makeup now and hopefully that will work well. Now I'm looking for good coverstick...i was using maybelline but was iffy about it....so I messaged Almay and this was their response:

Thank you for your recent comments from the Almay website and your interest in our products.

Unfortunately, because of the way cosmetic ingredients are made and transported, we cannot guarantee that a product is gluten-free. However, the Nearly Naked Cover Up Stick does not contain any derivatives of wheat, barley, rye, oats or spelt.

If we can be of further assistance, please call our Consumer Information Center toll-free at 1-800-473-8566. Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM until 6:00 PM EST. Any of our representatives will be glad to assist you.

Anyone think this should be pretty safe to use and this is just a general cover-their-butts response?

They're just being overly cautious in their response to avoid being sued; no one can guarantee 100% gluten free.

If they say it doesn't have those ingredients in there, then I would feel ok using it.

For moisturizer try Desert Essence. A lot of their products are gluten free and say so on the label. I use the Daily Essential Moisturizer, and it virtually has no scent at all.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
