I received an ingredients list from medical relations today. " The

ingredient info below has been evaluated and provided using our best

efforts based on our current knowledge. Although we have attempted to be

complete, because of vast number of ingredie3nts we receive from different

sources, it is not possible to guarantee that our products are completely

gluten-free. Additionally, the info below may change w/o prior notices, as

we introduce or modify products. "

The list is too long for me to type everything. Many of the words contain

wheat in them ex wheat amino acids, wheat extract, etc. The following are

other ingredients to look out for: barley, dextrins, hydrogentated soy

glycerides, hydrogentated coco-glycerides, hydrogentated palm glycerides,

hydro. palm kernal glycerides, hydro. tallow glycerides, hydro. vegetable

glycerides, hydro. vegetable oil, PEG-6 caprylic/capric glycerides,

sunflower seed oil glycerides, tall oil glycerides.

The letter also said to be aware of other ingredients:

alcohol - source usually synthetic, but cannot guarantee nor from a grain

source

colorants - Red & Yellow: shown to cause pseudo-malabsorption in

susceptible celiacs

millet - may need to be avoided, pending further research

oat flour - cross-contamination can occur during processing of oatr and wheat

glycerides, monoglyceridesm diglycerides, and triglycerides - may contain a

carboyhydrate chain used as a blinding substance in theri preparation,

which is usually corn or wheat

flavor/flavour - should be avoided

I have checked these Kay products:

Timewise 3 in 1 cleanser - OK

Timewise age-fighting moisturizer - contains isostearyl alcohol (not sure

if OK or not)

Day solution - NO contains hydrolyzed wheat protein

Night Solution - NO contains wheat bran extract

Cream foundation - OK

Creme to Powder - NO contains capric triglycerides

Oil Free foundation - OK

Liquid foundation - contains cetyl alcohol

That's all for now. I am seeing double. I hope this helps w/some of

you. If you have any questions, ask me and I'll try to answer best I can

or I'll call the company. I tell you I am amazed at all this. I will

check the rest of our products later on and post them.
