WHEAT GERM OIL in lip gloss? WHEAT PROTEIN in hair gel?

[voix]

Hello!

First question: I spoke with Gabriel Cosmetics who has a line called ZuZu Luxe. They make a great lip gloss called Caliente, which they say is GF but contains Wheat Germ Oil. Is that safe like they say?

Secondly, I found a hair gel made by Alba Botanica. It is the Strong Hold Style Gel. It contains Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein. Is this safe? The only issue I see with this one is when washing hair and water getting in mouth or on lips. What do you think?

These products are important to me to consider because I have chemical sensitivities and have a hard time finding bright red lip gloss and finishing products for hair care with no scent that are safe for me to use for that reason, not even considering the gluten issue. Its hard to be beautiful . . . or at least try to be!

Topically applied products containing wheat are the subject of much discussion. Hair products are something that are really best left to personal choice. Me? I don't want wheat on, in or around me, and I'm a hair/face toucher, so I just avoid anything with wheat in it.

Lip stuff - this will most certainly end up in your mouth, and thus, in your digestive tract. I can't believe that the wheat germ oil could be rendered gluten-free, but that's just me.

Thanks for the info. I was thinking that it could get on the pillow and then in the mouth or eyes, etc. So, back to the drawing board.

Wonder why the company said that wheat germ oil is okay> they still have to write me back on that question I posed to them.
