Cosmetics 3: Maybelline

I use Maybelline face makeup, eye shadows, and mascaras.
Notice they say nothing about possible cross-contamination
in production. Oh, and make sure you have a magnifying glass
to identify the ingredients!

"Thank you for your interest in Maybelline New York
products.

The following list of ingredients that are used in our
products are those that contain wheat and other grains.

This list may also be used by the celiac patient to
identify gluten-containing ingredients.
This list gives
the standard industry names for ingredients as found in
the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary.

the package or on the label of the product itself.

Comparing this list with the ingredients listed on our

would like to avoid.
