I recently heard about make-up and hair products containing gluten. After having cut out wheat for almost 4 years I am still finding new things that it is in. Apparently what we put on our skin can be absorbed into the blood (http://glutenfreeville.com/featured/is-it-time-to-break-up-with-your-gluten-filled-make-up).
I buy most of my make-up from Avon so I did a little research and found a listing of products (all credit to the website providing the pdf).

It is from 2008 but was the most recent I could find... if anyone else finds one more recent feel free to comment.
