We are in the process of doing major upgrades and updates on the site. I will add this article to the list that need to be revamped. I originally called all the manufacturers to verify ingredients when it was written a few years ago. I will take your info and update this article with it. Thanks again! And the mascara info is HUGE. That is the hardest product to find corn free! Thanks Lauren!

All there shampoos contain corn oil. You might want to find out if aubrey changed their ingredients. Also I have found a mascara that is fabulous and corn/wheat free. I love it. Most of Gabriel organics and zu zu lux products are wheat and corn free. There's a link on their site called allergens I believe - it shows what major allergens are in or not in their products. Their mascara products are corn and wheat free and look great when you put them on!

I have been struggling with acne as an adult for years (Im 36) and neither my dermatologist nor my allergist ever suggested that it could be food allergies and I have been seeing them for 7 years. I decided after talking to my sister about it to have myself tested for food allergies and low and behold I'm allergic to corn and soy. It turns out the Bare Minerals make up has corn starch in the mineral veil product and this had been recommended by my dermatologist who just wanted to put me on accutane and call it good. I think there is a huge problem in the dermatology industry where they are quick to give people medicine or serious treatments like accutane before looking at the root of the problem. But I suppose that philosophy makes more money for them and the pharmaceutical industries. Thank you!! I can’t begin to thank you enough for this information, I almost want to cry!

So I emailed Tom's of Maine regarding the Silly Strawberry Toothpaste or the Mango Toothpaste and the reps reply was that unfortunatly...the toothpaste contains glycerine that is derived from Corn and is not considered a corn free product. They may have changed their formula. But I did see a reaction. I started noticing that my daughter was getting dizzy everytime she brushed her teeth and then she would get a migraine.

Love, love their lips shimmers...but the Gluten Free Shampoo, Conditioner, and Lotion had a wonderful smell as well. Can't wait to try out their Jr. line for my kids!

BTW, I never got a response from Mineral Hygenics. Maybe they don't know the source of some of their ingredients and whether they contain certain allergens. I’m glad the Afterglow worked out for you.
