The gluten-free phenomenon has officially crossed over to the beauty world. With more skincare and makeup products slowly becoming gluten-free, many celiacs (and those who are gluten-free by choice) are thrilled to have more viable options available to them.
Dr. Jaliman, a NYC-based dermatologist and American Academy of Dermatology spokesperson, explained that for people severely sensitive to gluten, “the main problem is that if you put a skincare product on your face, and lick your lips or the outside your mouth, you could ingest it and potentially have a problem.” It’s best to avoid gluten-containing products entirely then.
