The information we've posted here should only be used as a starting point for your own review, not as an absolute statement of gluten status. Manufacturers may change ingredients and information can become outdated.

Ed. Note: Many celiacs don't worry about gluten in soaps, lotions, or other items that come into contact with their skin. That's because gluten has to be ingested in order to be a problem for them. However, some people say they react to skin contact with gluten and want to avoid it. Parents of celiac children might also want to take extra precautions since children often eat things they shouldn't, or put their hands into their mouths. This list is for them. A longer list can be found in our drug SmartList. Information on these items was verified between Feb. 2 - March 12, 2009.
