Hi Chandice,
I tried to send you the email below but it keeps bouncing back.
Hello,
You raise a very important question. Yes our products are gluten free. I have attached a MSDS sheet with a break down of all of the ingredients of our water based cake makeup. You will see that the main ingredients are Calcium Carbonate, Paraffin, Petrolatum, Glycerin, Sodium Benzoate, and Pigments.
I have looked into the Dextrin before, and we use Tapioca Dextrin (Thailand Tapioca) made from the root of the cassava plant.
I’m not saying we know 100% that someone won’t have a reaction. If someone is deathly allergic, I would still recommend a test patch on the inside of the wrist or elbow before using on the face.
I hope this info helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks so much!

I’m a celiac student with a great idea. Do you like adventure? Love travelling?
If the answer is yes, here’s my offer: I have the first website that organizes gluten-free adventure travels to wilderness! Problem: I want to make travelling easier for celiac, but need some traffic to my site (and have no money, as a student)
If you find it interesting, please write about me and my “startup” website (travel2wild.com) in your blog. BTW: Isn’t the website beautiful? I think it’s awesome.
It can also make a great story for you:
Me: 20 years old, celiac, nature lover who wants to help others as I could not travel without having to worry before.
Website: adventure travels to Europe’s national parks for celiac. (huge need for that).
Future: We can track the traffic that comes from you, and could make az agreement, if the website works. (10% after every booking coming from you etc).
Our partners: AOECS, PAN Parks.
Waiting for your response!
Mate
