Clinique cosmetics


AngieJoy

Recommended Posts

I used clinique for years as it didn't bother my allergies, but it's not listed on any of the gluten free makeup lists. I'm having trouble finding a foundation that works as well, doesn't cause allergies, and that matches my skin tone. Also clinique's under eye cream really works better than anything I've found.  

I called clinique to ask about gluten in the products I use, and all they'd do is send me ingredients. I'm hoping some of you have the knowledge to tell me if these are gluten free or not. I certainly couldn't tell, and looking up each ingredient would take forever. 

They also said there could be cross contamination. Normally I wouldn't use this but I haven't been able to use foundation for a very long time now, and I'm feeling desperate, but I don't want to make myself sick with it. 

Here are the products and their ingredients:

I don't see anything that would be a problem with the 3 products you listed. If they agree with your skin and you like them you should be safe gluten wise with those. Do check any other products especially lipsticks before using as not all their products are gluten free.

I know exactly how you feel.  I used to love Clinique too.  Sadly, I have been so desperate to get well that I had gone without makeup for years.  This may have been a mistake.  There's something to be said about feeling good about how you look.  I also don't see any obvious signs of gluten in these 3 items.  I believe some of their items do contain gluten (at least they used to).  That's why I stopped using Clinique.  They do mention the possibility of cross-contamination.  Like most things in life, you have to decide if it's worth the risk.  You probably know that Gabriel makes a line of Certified Gluten Free cosmetics.

Thanks Ravenwoodglass and Manasota. Manasota, I hadn't come across Garbriel. Do you know if there's any fragrance to the products? Especially the foundation?  

manasota Explorer

No fragrance to the foundation, powder, or lipstick.  I love the lipstick and I always had a hard time finding one I like prior to Celiac.

Can buy online at amazon, vitacost, Gabriel site or in Whole Foods stores.  At least, that's where I've seen it.

There is another Certified Gluten Free line, I think it's called Afterglow.  I tried it once but didn't like the lipstick--too drying.

Good luck!

Another good brand to try is 100 percent pure. i have used many of their product and have been satisfied. The only product that has gluten in it is one of their mascaras. Customer service is super helpful.

I would recommend not to experiment with something new. I have also used these products and they matched my pigmentation and skin.Maybe you should check on the products reviews. There are lots of people that shared their experience.

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption? 
    • knitty kitty
      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...

      Thanks for your response and thoughts. Total IgA is normal. HLA DQ2/DQ8 came as heterozygous and the interpretation of the lab that the risk of coeliac disease is mild to moderate. Thyroid function test is normal. I agree that the best way is to repeat tTG antibodies in 6 months time as the result was not massively high.

      Welcome to the forum, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen, How is the patient's thyroid?   You could check for thiamine deficiency which can cause the thyroid to either become hyper or hypo.  TTg IgA can be high in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.  tTg IgA can also be high if patient is taking medications to stimulate the thyroid as in hypothyroidism.   Thanks for visiting!  Keep us posted!
