Safe Lip Glosses?

I'm going through all my lipsticks to find out if there's anything I can still use. I received this reply from Revlon regarding their lip products: "Unfortunately, because of the way cosmetic ingredients are made and transported, we cannot guarantee that a product is gluten-free."

Does anyone know which lip products are safe? I live in an area where I don't have access to Whole Foods or any store that might carry specialty items.

"Unfortunately, because of the way cosmetic ingredients are made and transported, we cannot guarantee that a product is gluten-free."

This sort of statement is very common among mainstream manufacturers. It is a legal disclaimer--the tip-off is the word "guarantee."

Here is what it means to me:

"We don't intentionally put any gluten in the products, but we don't test the ingredients or the finished product, so inadvertent contamination somewhere along the supply chain can happen without being detected by us."

Same here. I don't trust anything found in mainstream stores after trying each one that is reportedly gluten-free. Now, I just buy all of my cosmetics online. Googling "gluten-free cosmetics" does wonders.

I use Burt's Bees and Kiss My Face lip glosses...both were gluten free the last time I bought them.

Also, Desert Essence Organics lip glosses are gluten free.

I like the Neutrogena Naturals lip balm.

I also am a total fan of Red Apple Lipstick -- google the name and their site will come up. They have lipsticks, lip glosses and one type of balm plus they've introduced lip pencils. Their products are gluten free, paraben free, vegan, etc.

I've never had a problem with them in terms of any sort of cross contamination. Their customer service is amazing and they seem really committed to the community of consumers who want gluten-free products.

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
