Bare Escentuals

Hello all,

So after throwing out all my cosmetics (and mostly just not wearing makeup for a while), I went out and got some more Bare Escentuals stuff.

I've been trying to find out about their MD Formulations skincare line, and gotten several different responses from people that didn't have a clue what I was talking about. I just got a message from their customer service manager that 1.) didn't answer my question, and 2.) said that all the minerals are safe, but I should probably stay away from things like lipstick, the Mineral Veil, etc. Ummm... that's not what I've heard from everywhere else I've checked. So my question is: for those of you that use Bare Escentuals makeup--have any of you verifed DIRECTLY with the company that ALL cosmetics are gluten-free? I hope someone has, I love having lip gloss to wear again. And does anyone know about the skincare line? I'll let y'all know what the CSM says, also.

Their whole line of cosmetics is gluten free :D I love the brand.

Their skincare line is different and I know some of the things in their skincare line are not gluten free.

I have directly called and verified with them pretty recently before I put in an order for some products.

"All of our minerals are gluten-free as well as the lipsticks and lip glosses."

That's a quote from an email I have from them from a while back. Which doesn't answer the question about mascaras, or anything else. Will be returning the manager's call again on Monday (sure she loooves me by now) and will report back with as much info as possible.

The mascara by them that I use they told me was gluten free..I use alot of their products and they verified by phone and by email that they were all gluten free(not skincare line though)

That is unless they came out with something new that isn't or changed ingredients or policy in the last month or so...let us know if you find out anything different though. :)

I love Bare Escentuals and I've used it for years. I've never tried the skincare line though.

I while back I check delphiforums confirmed list and this is what they had listed.

Bareescentuals (www.bareescentuals.com) (v?=2-2-05)

“Yes, our products are gluten-free.”

Bare Minerals Cosmetics (Open Original Shared Link) (v=08/14/03)

All products

Right now I'm using Proactiv, but I was thinking about switching to BE skincare. Thanks for the info. :)

One of my friends uses a different brand of mineral makeup. She purchased color pigments and is making tinted lip glosses. I think that sounds like so much fun!

Katie, I'm so glad to know about the mascara. I plan on ordering some with my next order. All the other mascaras I've used make my eyes hurt.

I'm using Bare Escentuals now too however, I not only e-mailed them but called as well and they were VERY EVASIVE as to if the line is gluten-free, as a matter of fact they told me they "thought" it was not and that I need to call about each individual product. So when I asked about a few I had handy they read me the ingredients and said, "there is no wheat in that, right?" I have to tell you I was not impressed.

I am using the stuff since everyone here keeps saying its gluten-free but honestly I don't believe it until the company gets there act together a bit more. My experience was similar to Estee Lauder products, non-commital.

I really wish these make up and health and beauty aids companies would just put together simple lists, like Neutrogena has, so they can make it easy for us. How hard can that be, they make the products, you'd think a list of what is gluten-free and what has nut oils in them would be very simple.

Frustrated, Susan

I just called the makers of a skincare product that I LOVE and thought I was going to have to throw out. The woman on the phone checked (with the lab) and said all of their products were gluten-free. You may want to verify that personally, but their products are great. And they have a safe glycolic acid product, which I think is basically the best thing ever for your skin.

Here's a link to their website:

I got an e-mail response from the Co. that said that the minerals, lip glosses and mascara that I asked about were gluten free. I got a bottle if BE lotion as a gift, though, and it had wheat listed on the bottle.

Yes, the skincare line is NOT gluten free...only the cosmetic line

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
