Best gluten free and cruelty free products?

[Eluoha]

I have Celiac disease and spend way too much time reading every single ingredient in every single product I buy. I am also an animal lover. Do any brands exist that are both 100% gluten and cruelty free? My dream is to be able to buy something without having to spend a lot of time scouring labels.

Besame Cosmetics (carried at Sephora) is 100% gluten-free & cruelty free. Bite Beauty (also carried at Sephora) is 100% gluten-free & cruelty free, plus tests their batches for cross-contamination.

Red Apple Lipstick (only available from their website) is cruelty free & easily the most gluten-free out there. They test every single batch of every single product to make sure it's ZERO parts per million gluten-contaminated, or they destroy the entire batch! A bit more expensive, but also 100% GF/CF: Alima Pure Cosmetics and Afterglow Cosmetics, both only available through their websites, make fantastic mineral makeup. Alima is my favorite for complexion makeup.

Tarte is *formulated* 100% gluten-free, but can't guarantee no cross-contamination in their manufacturing/packaging. If you're not terribly sensitive, they're an excellent company. (I can't use them, but many other Celiacs can.) They're certified cruelty-free, & went so above-&-beyond to help me research product safety that I exclusively buy my brushes & tools from them, to support them as much as possible.

Check out GlutenFreeMakeupGal.com. She puts out a phenomenal Gluten-Free Makeup List, which she updates quarterly with new/departing brands, that has made all the difference in the world for safeguarding my health. I hope this helps!

If you go to sites like Aurora Beauty, Credo Beauty, Eco Diva, Integrity Botanicals, and Safe & Chic, and just type in "gluten free" to their search , they will list hundreds of gluten free products. They are all green beauty marketplaces and only carry cruelty free brands.
