For adults: this ingredient is generally safe when used on the skin or hair. Most adults will not have a problem, but people who are allergic to wheat or who have very sensitive skin may get a rash or irritation.
✅What to Do
If you are an adult without a wheat allergy, you can use products that list hydrolyzed wheat gluten.

Some product-safety or certification programs restrict this ingredient unless the manufacturer provides safety evidence; this comes from cosmetic ingredient safety reviews.
