Hidden Gluten

When you look at an ingredient list on labels on cosmetics or skin care products you'll notice that it's never just as simple as looking for "gluten", and it can turn into an extremely overwhelming task.  Sometimes we are lucky, and on the packaging the gluten free symbol will be on the package, sadly this is often not the case.

Below are some hidden way gluten can be listed as FDA approved names, there may be other ways as well.  It is also extremely important to remember that just because something is gluten free now, doesn't mean 6 months it will be, beware of reformulations of products.  Keep yourself up to date, and when in doubt contact the company with your questions, knowledge is your power.
