I got sick from baby oil with Vitamin E (Tocopherol)

I recently became ill from using baby oil with Vitamin E in it. The last ingredient listed was Tocopherol, which below states is a derivative of wheat germ. While researching, I came upon the article below that highlights the gluten additives in common beauty products. I thought for sure I would be safe with baby oil. I need to verify if regular baby oil (w/out Vitamin E) has Tocopherol in it.

Gluten-Free Glamour

Weed wheat out of your beauty routine for better skin.

By Allison Young

If you suspect gluten is giving your skin and scalp a hard time, weeding out anything with “wheat,” “barley,” or “rye” in the ingredient name is only the beginning; gluten can sneak in under aliases. Here are the top four ingredients to purge from your list: 



1. Tocopherols (vitamin E): Often extracted from wheat germ, vitamin E shows up in tons of products, from face cream and moisturizer to lipstick and eyeliner. Look for vitamin E derived from other sources, such as safflower.
 Also listed as: mixed tocopherols; natural vitamin E; d-alpha-tocopherol; dl-a-tocopherol; tocopheryl.


2. Triticum vulgare (wheat): Whether it’s the wheat protein, germ extract, or germ oil, look out for this grain found in lipsticks, moisturizers, conditioners, hair color, and shampoos.
 Also listed as: triticum aestivum germ oil; triticum vulgare germ oil; triticum vulgare (wheat) protein; proteins, triticum vulgare; triticum vulgare proteins, hydrolyzed wheat protein; hydrolysate; wheat protein hydrolysate; hydrolysate proteins, wheat; wheat hydrolysate proteins; glutens, enzyme-modified; wheat gluten, enzyme-modified.


3. Hordeum vulgare (barley): Both the extract and the flour can be found in creams, hair products, lip glosses, and antiperspirants and deodorants. Also listed as: hordeum vulgare extract; hordeum vulgare seed flour; hordeum distichon (barley) extract.


Avena sativa (oats): The flour and protein of this grain, often cross-contaminated with other grains, crops up in creams, hair products, face powders, body washes, and blushes.
Also listed as: avena sativa flour; avena sativa kernel flour; oatmeal; avena sativa extract; avena sativa kernel protein.

Gluten-Free a Trend? I hope not!

From the September, 2010 issue of Real Simple magazine...a paragraph titled, "Gluten-Free 411":

"Avoiding this protein, found in wheat, rye, and barley, is a trendy health move, but don't feel compelled to cut it from your diet. "Unless you have Celiac Disease or a diagnosed allergy, there's nothing wrong with consuming gluten." In fact, a gluten-free diet often falls short in iron, calcium, B vitamins, fiber, and folate. Still, if you suspect that gluten doesn't agree with you, (bloating, constipation, and diarrhea are common symptoms of intolerance), keep a food log. If the symptoms appear when you consume gluten, see your doctor for testing."
