I wrote to Sephora about their own products and they sent me a letter

stating none of their products are gluten-free.

**************

Hello Susan,

Thanks for contacting Sephora.com.

Unfortunately, we do not currently offer any products that are guaranteed to

be gluten-free. We recommend that you contact your doctor or dermatologist

for suggestions. Because the reactions to this can be severe if you have an

allergy, we recommend that you use only products to be guaranteed free of

gluten, as even in trace amounts, or in a derivative form, serious

complications can occur.

We are aware that there is a need for products that are gluten-free, and we

are striving to meet the needs of all of our clients. Please contact us

again in the future, as we are constantly updating our inventory and we hope

to have more selections available to you.

I wish I knew you contacted them, I'm trying to contact all the make up companies I can think of (like all the companies that are at Sephora and such). I've had a hard time finding out info about cosmetic companies, it seems there is a lot of food info out there but I've searched for a comprehensive list of cosmetic companies and it doesn't seem there a single list. I'm hoping to compile one (and I'll take any help offered).

I'm going to try the Bare Escentuals but I have really really dry skin and I still need major moisturizers and I'm afraid its just not going to look right on my skin. I can't imagine putting just dry powders on it.

the foundation itself isn't as dry as a typical powder. it does have some moisture to it and softens up when applied. i was definitely skeptical at first, bur now i love it...

I've contacted Cover Girl (I like their powder foundation) and asked about all their products, especially lipstick -- but can't get ANY good information from them -- they e-mailed me back after my asking for more specific information, and STILL had no answers. They referred me to my physician as well. Like he's going to know about lipstick. Or at least I hope he doesn't. :lol:

What about Philosophy? I use their 3-in-one shampoo/conditioner/body wash b/c it is travel size and is great for the gym. Anyone know if it has gluten in it? The ingredients are mostly chemicals so I couldnt figure it out

I picked up a little printout from CoverGirl at the grocery store recently, in the make-up section (it was in a little dispenser like they have for coupons). It has a list of ingredients for:

Triple Lipstick SPF15

Smoothers Hydrating Lip Color

Smoothers Lipliner

Smoothers Eyeliner

Wetslicks Lipgloss

Wetslicks Crystals Lipgoloss

Eyeslicks Gel EyeColor

Outlast Smoothwear Eyeline

Outlast Smoothwear Lipliner

Continuous Color Nail Polish

I checked the list thoroughly, twice, and did not see ANY sign of a product with gluten. A few had corn starch as thickeners, but that's it. If anyone wants this, I can post specific ingredients or make a copy and send it to you. :)

I know there are more products but this is all they had on this "list"-hope it helps.

not only did they respond immediately, but heres what they said- sounds like they actually know what they are talking about! :D

Most philosophy products are gluten-free. We do, however, recommend

those with a gluten allergy/sensitivity avoid the following products:

1. pigment of your imagination

2. time on your hands

3. the big blow off

4. hope in a jar eye & lip contour cream

These products contain hydrolyzed wheat and oat proteins which could

cause a problem for people with a sensitivity to gluten and gluten

products.

best regards,

alia

Wonderful, I love when a company gets back to you right away and knows what they are talking about. I'm also trying to make a really complete list of cosmetics/lotions, I love to try new products and this list will really help.

I've written to a bunch of companies and some have never bothered to get back to me... its been weeks and I guess they just blew me off (2 of which are Tarte and Bliss, which did get back to me saying they have no idea if any of their products contain gluten and why can't I have my doctor figure it out.... I asked them for more info and they never followed up).

Susan-

Don't you hate it when you don't hear back from companies. I've gotten so that if a company doesn't respond or gives me a shady response, I move on to another brand. ...(still transitioning)...

I know what you mean- as soon as i got that immediate response from philosophy, I practically fell in love with the brand and vowed to go buy more of it to use at home as well as the gym! its amazing how well a company can do by just answering our questions!

I do think that as time goes on, it will become easier and easier to access this info. Unfortunately, it seems that beauty products are significantly behind food products in providing this info.

      Cross contamination

      By trents · Posted

      I'm like Cristiana. After getting glutened, in about two hours I start develop emesis that lasts for two or three hours with intense abdominal cramping. This is followed by several hours of diarrhea. It's like my body is doing everything it can to expel the gluten as it begins to leave my stomach and enter the small bowel. So, I'm not sure how much of it actually gets into my bloodstream to create a systemic effect. But once I get past those initial intense reactions and get rehydrated I feel a lot better. Just a day or two for me. And I should add that I am not a particularly sensitive celiac who reacts strongly to a tiny amount of cross contamination. It takes a decent amount of gluten to produce a discernable reaction in me. The last reaction I can remember having was precipitated by consuming a small appetizer-size cup of soup at a Chinese restaurant that had soy sauce in it. I was careful to choose things for the main meal that didn't have soy sauce in them but overlooked the appetizer.

      Clancy’s Hint of Lime tortilla chips Aldi

      By Saratonin · Posted

      Has anyone reacted to Clancy’s hint of lime tortilla chips? The bag says gluten free, but this is the only new food I’ve had recently and I was definitely glutened by something. I know Tostito’s brand doesn’t claim gluten free and these suspiciously taste very similar to how I remember those tasting.

      Hi @Michael McDonald and welcome to the forum. Everyone's experience varies, and I think what you are experiencing is normal, having read a lot of different accounts over the years.  Of course, there is always just a slight chance that gluten might still be getting in somewhere, or that your symptoms might also be down to a gastric virus or food poisoning too, it sometimes is difficult to be sure which is which! But from my own experience, my own reactions have changed over time. Now I react differently to a significant glutening (vomiting, chills, palpitations) and the effects are about 2-3 hours after the glutening.  Sorry for TMI but I think the gluten doesn't hang around in my system as long because I throw up. Before found it took me maybe over a week to feel a lot better.  Although I felt nauseous I wasn't actually sick, so I guess more time for the gluten to hang around in my system.  I would experience chills, dizziness and diarrhea immediately.  Then, bouts of feeling unwell again for perhaps the initial week.  As well as oten feeling just plain weird and out of things.  The thing other thing would be developing a gastritis like sore stomach which could go on for two weeks or more, in the ensuing days.  I would never recommend popping a PPI long-term (unless medically advised, of course,), but time has taught me that a short dose of omeprazole 20mg for maybe 2 -3 days post glutening  helps nip this gastritis pain in the bud.  I take it first thing in the morning, with a glass of water.

      It’s been 3 days so far. I think I might be on the mend, but every time I think that, I go on rewind.  Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it.
