RevitaLash® Advanced Eyelash Conditioner and RevitaBrow® Advanced Eyebrow Conditioner are ‘gluten-free’ however they both contain Triticum Vulgare, which is Wheat Germ. How is this possible?

At present, there is no accepted FDA standard for determining if a cosmetic product is ‘gluten-free’. Therefore, we tested RevitaLash® Advanced and RevitaBrow® Advanced according to the FDA standard for determining if a food is ‘gluten-free’, and both were shown to have levels of gluten well below the detectable threshold. Additionally, the ingredient itself meets the FDA standard for gluten-free. Wheat Germ is a fatty acid found in very small quantities within the small embryo of the wheat plant. During the refining process to obtain Wheat Germ, the gluten protein can be broken down and therefore the process can leave the product gluten-free.
