Oleths and the Gluten Free Diet

Oleths are ethoxylated compounds derived from oleyl alcohol, which can be of animal or plant origin. They are typically used in cosmetics and personal care products, such as lotions and creams, to help blend water and oil-based ingredients. Oleths are not commonly found in food products, making them more relevant in non-food contexts. They are known for their ability to improve the texture and consistency of cosmetic formulations.
