Here is a very interesting list of ingredients for personal care products that can be glutenous. I found this on one of the message boards. Some of the ingredients were smooshed up next to each other, so I hope that I have separated them correctly! I did also add "barley lipids" (found that from one company), and vitamin E derived from wheat germ oil (found that from several sources).

If you are aware of a correction to this list or an addition, please drop me a note. I am no chemist, just a consumer like all of you! :) I am not certain of the source of this list, though I will probably pursue that so that I can get a more complete/updated list. Very handy to have in case you need to double check something. I will also continue to check into any other potentially hidden source of gluten that I can learn about regarding ingredients.
