Avon?

Does Avon have a current gluten-free list? I'm looking for a skin care system. Wash, toner, cream, eye cream, etc. I've been using the Arbonne Intelligence system but the actual wash isn't on their gluten-free list, just the toner & creams are.

(I saw on Delphi, their list of Avon products- there were TONS TONS TONS- could this be true? Even their mascara and lipstick?!!!)

Thanks! :-)

Don't quote me, from what I know Avon stopped issuing a gluten-free list and now

wants you to call their Customer Service number everytime you need to know

if something is gluten free.

This being said, I called them to test them about a year ago. I called

their Customer Service line and deliberately asked if their body lotion which

had oat in it was gluten-free. They answered "yes, it's gluten-free." I think the Cust Service

people just read the ingredients and if it doesn't specifially say "gluten" as

an ingredient, then they tell you it's "gluten free." That's just my take on

this test.

Avon does no longer issue lists. Their customer service number no longer gives information other that "you need to talk to you doctor before you start using any new products". If you go through an Avon representative, they can get all the information without problems. We have a rep in the area here that is also gluten intolerant, and she has been an awesome help. I have slowly been switching everything back to Avon. They have tons of stuff we can safely use.

Good to hear that there's someone who will answer on behalf of Avon, but

it would be better to hear it from corporate.

      Trents, It's a good question. The experts I have spoken to have told me the distillation process does remove the offensive proteins. Again, I'm not the expert on that. I'm only reporting. I don't have any issue with distilled spirits that don't have any additives. That said, maybe there is something else at play here? Good question for the forum.

      I'm wondering if this is the same issue some celiacs have with distilled liquors. The complete gluten molecule is too large and heavy to to travel up with the vapor but if their are gluten fragments created by the heat, they may not be and the immune systems of some celiacs still recognize it as gluten. I have no scientific proof for this, just a thought because we have so many forum contributors who still react to these "gluten removed" products.

      Thanks, Scott and Trents. Scott, tastes vary of course. The metallic taste may just be me. As to the filtration efficacy, I can only add that the micron level to remove a smaller protein chain must be pretty tight. What about the impact of hydrolization on the R5 test? I've been told it presents a challenge. Trents, thanks for the clarification. I did not draw this distinction, but can. I honestly didn't perceive the nuance.  Appreciate the feedback from you both.

      I don’t think it matters much if you trust the supplier, I get them from a Welsh company maesyffin mushrooms but I think the guy there has retired from growing now and just resells eu imports so it’s probably the same mushrooms he uses to make the tinctures as the company you posted. It’d probably be cheaper to buy dried and make your own tincture.

      Thank you for your prompt reply. Have others experienced LUQ and L sided back pain when on gluten? Could gluten be irritating the pancreas to cause the slight rise in lipase?
