Spring Break is here, and for those of us lucky enough to be in a city with warm weather, it's time to pull out the sunscreen. For a celiac, using a gluten free sunscreen is key. Even though you may not be eating the stuff, in my opinion there is too much of risk of cross contaminating yourself if you use a non-gluten free sunscreen. Here is a list of confirmed gluten free sunscreens you can use to protect your skin this spring and summer. If you know of any others, please feel free to comment!
