Celiac.com 03/26/2022 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain brands and products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about Bare Minerals make-up products. 

Specifically, is Bare Minerals make-up gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? The short answer is NO. Here's the lowdown.

It's important for people with celiac disease to avoid gluten, not only in their diets, but in their beauty products, including make-up and lipstick. Here's what we know about Bare Minerals make-up.

A search of the Bare Minerals website shows one-hundred and thirteen product entries for "gluten-free." However, none of the products we looked at were labeled as gluten-free. It seems that Bare Minerals does not specifically label any of their make-up as gluten-free.

For this reason, we do not consider Bare Minerals make-up to be gluten-free or safe for people with celiac disease. If you know and trust this brand and its ingredients, by all means follow your choice. As always, read labels, avoid gluten ingredients, and choose carefully.

For anyone looking for make-up brands labeled gluten-free, here's a list of top brands of gluten-free make-up.
