What started as an activist company protesting animal testing has now turned into an all-green, certified organic beauty brand. With a love for the environment and care for the well-being of its gluten-sensitive customers, Ecco Bella does not contain any gluten or wheat proteins in any of their products. Even if you suffer from celiac disease, everything from their skin care line to makeup products is completely safe for use.
Hero product: If you have sensitive eyes, or simply want to bat your flirtatious lashes, then the all natural Ecco Bella FlowerColor Natural Mascara, $19.95, is for you. While the mascara isn't waterproof, it does hold up against humidity and light rainy drizzles, while giving you volume and length. What's even better? The brand cut out harmful ingredients like lacquer, shellac and alcohol, and replaced them with earthy ingredients like natural clay and flower wax coated in iron oxides.

When it comes to Gabriel Cosmetics, they have some strict gluten-free standards. So strict in fact, that they've made their entire line gluten-free -- and you can rest assured they're held accountable by the best of the best. The brand is certified by the Gluten Intolerance Group, which according to their website, "thoroughly inspects the brand's quality, integrity and purity of the products" from warehouse to market. To make you swoon even more, the brand caters to the gluten-free needs of beauties everywhere in skin care, makeup and kids products.
Hero product: If you want a nice, natural glow (minus the cake face), then we suggest reaching for Gabriel Cosmetics Dual Powder Foundation. Due to its plant-based formula, the matte foundation doesn't cause breakouts or irritation to sensitive skin, and will leave your skin looking velvety smooth.

This gluten-free and all-natural makeup-only brand is all about keeping their products pure (no matter what your skin sensitivities). Not only are all of their products free of gluten, but they also exclude parabens, synthetic perfumes and dyes. Not to mention they don't test on Thumper -- which we love.

Also certified by the Gluten Free Certification Organization, Zuzu Luxe's entire line of makeup is 100 percent gluten-free -- and the health-consciousness doesn't stop there. Besides meeting the needs of the gluten-sensitive gals, and with the exception of their makeup brushes (which are cruelty free), their cosmetics are also vegan, and contains no animal byproducts of any kind.
Hero product: Because bronzers are a staple item in our makeup bag, we have high standards for what encompasses a "quality bronzer." It must highlight, warm the skin and leave us with a flawless finish -- which is exactly what the Zuzu Luxe Mosaic Illuminator, $29.80, does. Plus, the product itself is pretty to look at every morning, so there's that.
