General safety info about Gluten Ingredients from CIR
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel reviewed the product use, formulation and safety data on hydrolyzed wheat protein and hydrolyzed wheat gluten, which function as skin and hair conditioning agents. The Panel determined that data on the elicitation of Type I hypersensitivity reactions in sensitized individuals were adequate to support the safety of these ingredients with peptide-length distributions not exceeding 30 amino acids. The Panel concluded that hydrolyzed wheat gluten and hydrolyzed wheat protein are safe in cosmetics when formulated to minimize peptide lengths greater than 30 amino acids. Additionally, these ingredients should not be used on damaged skin or in products that may contact mucous membranes or be incidentally inhaled.
