New Expanded Gluten Free Diet and Cosmetics Website

Hello everyone,

I want to thank everyone for visiting my new website, link is up on the left side of this blog.  Recently I decided that I was thinking too small.  I know I can deliver the important gluten free cosmetic information you need.  But I also have a lot I want to share about the gluten free diet, finding special foods that I had trouble getting, my preferred baking and cooking methods, good equipment to have, some solid recipes, and more. 

I'd like you to have a one-stop place to get great info on your favorite cosmetics and a reliable food product, if you should wish.  Believe me, I've been around the block several times with finding solid dependable gluten free products.  Plus I've had to relearn some of my standard cooking methods to replicate our family's favorite foods.  If you're looking for GF cosmetics, you may have questions about your food as well (like I always do).

Here's the link to my new all-in-one site Gluten Free Diet Guide - and that's a picture of some homemade gluten free bread on the header.  Good stuff and easy to make - we always have some on-hand.  So I'll be summarizing and updating the best info I have from both my semi-new cosmetics site and this blog over to that site.  Sorry this has been so disjointed, but I hope this transition will serve everyone better.  This blog will NOT be going away, but the other newish cosmetics site will. 

Again, thanks for being such loyal readers and please keep track of the changes here!

Tarte Cosmetics Gluten Free Update

Hi everyone - I just found some new information about Tarte Cosmetics. This page here says that Tarte proudly offers gluten free cosmetic and beauty products. That is different that my earlier posts that said each gluten free product would be labeled on their site. How awesome!

However, they offer another caveat on another part of their website. They do say that they cannot guarantee any allergen product was produced in an allergen free environment. Still, if you are OK with a slight chance of cross contamination, this looks like an excellent source of cosmetics.

Gluten Free Cosmetic Counter Website

Hey, thanks everyone for continuing to check out my new website gluten-free-cosmetic-counter.org. I promise, I'll be building more pages as soon as I can. There is so many companies I want to research, so many other resources I want to look into.

You have come to rely on this blog for solid reliable gluten free cosmetic information. That won't change with the website. I intend to make it your most reliable source for accessing gluten free information and products on the internet.
