They all use gluten based ingredients as binders to help the products stick. Gluten, commonly found in most grains like wheat, barley, rye, and oats, is a widely used protein ingredient in the cosmetic industry. Women (more often affected than men) that are allergic to gluten protein have a genetic condition called Celiac Disease. Cases of Celiac Disease are on the rise. It is reported that as many as one in every 133 Americans - approximately 2 million people - may have the disease. Many of these women have a very hard time finding gluten-free cosmetics. Until now, women afflicted with this incurable condition would have to very carefully read the ingredients to ensure that their cosmetic products were gluten free. No longer! Afterglow Cosmetics offers a full line of gluten-free cosmetics to take the guess work out of beauty. Founder of Afterglow Cosmetics, Kristin Adams, is especially sensitive to the concerns of women with Celiac Disease because many of the women in her family suffer from the disease. "I'm proud to offer women a natural cosmetic alternative that is also 100% gluten free. It is quite a challenge for women to understand all the permutations that gluten based cosmetic ingredients can take. We make it easy for them by guaranteeing that all our products are gluten-free," says Kristin. Afterglow Cosmetics are infused with certified organic antioxidants to defend against free radical damage. Afterglow's products boast a beautiful and flawless finish with a 100% natural formula. Made with the highest quality pharmaceutical-grade minerals and certified organic ingredients such as organic rosemary leaf extract, organic grape seed extract and organic pomegranate seed extract, this is mineral makeup at its best! www.afterglowcosmetics.com For Information Contact: Leila Belcher Anthony Mora Communications (323) 874-2933
