The following is a reply from Cover Girl regarding their products:

Thanks for contacting Cover Girl.

I'm not certain if you're inquiring because of Celiac disease so I'll include that information as well:

We know Celiac is a serious disease, so we want to give you clear information regarding the use of our Cover Girl and other 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.

Thanks for getting in touch with us. 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

Hope this is what you're looking for.

Thanks for posting that It seems like they went to a lot of trouble to answer your question. I guess only the fragrance free products with no gluten listed are the only 100% safe ones.

When I inquired about 6 months ago regarding their lipstick, they completely brushed me off and said that they would list any of those ingrediants on the packaging or at the stand that sells the lipstick - both of which is bs, since I never saw ingrediants anywhere. So, they no longer get my business. But I do appreciate the post.
