Gluten-free makeup products are earning crowd appeal among those with gluten sensitivities.
By Afton Jones
Maybe you haven’t heard of gluten-free makeup, but it’s becoming a more common clarification and selling point on certain makeup packages lining store shelves. Why? Isn’t it odd for gluten to be in makeup? It actually isn’t. There is gluten and gluten-derived ingredients in a great deal of makeup. For many people sensitive to gluten, such as those who have celiac disease or are gluten-intolerant, they are not just internally sensitive, but also may be topically sensitive. If you avoid putting gluten {in} your body, sometimes it helps to avoid putting it {on} your body too. With this revelation in mind, we rounded up five of our favorite gluten-free makeup picks.
