Clinique Products

Because I had my best week yet while I was on vacation, even though I thought the risk for CC would be high, I have started taking a careful look at all my cosmetics. I didn't wear any makeup while on vacation, so that was a reasonable place to start.

Most of my stuff is Clinique, and they are sort of annoying...they won't give a safe/not-safe list. You have to ask about specific products. I got the following info about the products I use. The Stop Signs Hand Repair is awesome, by the way...my hands get so dry this time of year and this stuff makes them soft!

Does not contain gluten:

Stop Signs Hand Repair Lotion

Colour Surge Lipstick Palette

Colour Surge Bare Brilliance Lipstick

Soft-Pressed Powder Blusher

Naturally Glossy Mascara

Brow Shaper

Colour Surge Eye Shadow - Soft Shimmer

Colour Surge Eye Shadow - Super Shimmer

High Impact Eye Shadow

Contains gluten:

High Impact Mascara

Eye Defining Shadow Duo and Liner

Anyway, I thought this might help someone else. I will probably phase out of Clinique and switch to Bare Escentuals, but it's nice to not have to do it all at once. I only have to trash two items! :D

Clinique...which makes such a big deal out of saying they are free of allergy ingredients...appear to mostly contain some form of wheat. I wrote them, and here's their response:

-------------

Thank you for your interest in Clinique.

We appreciate the opportunity to explain that we do not have a

comprehensive list of products that contain or do not contain gluten.

However, if you would kindly provide us with the specific products names

and shades with which you are interested, we will be happy to have our

chemist check for each of them.

We trust that the above addresses your concern. We hope you will look to

Clinique for all your skin care and cosmetic needs.

Sincerely,

Dana Gambuto

I got that same email at first too, but when I replied with the list of things I use, they told me which ones have gluten in less than a day's time. And most didn't. Do you have another reason to think that most of their products contain wheat?

a great big thank you! I use clinique!!!!! as I said on another post, prior to this board, I never thought about topical gluten! How stupid! Have to check my lipsticks now! Like everyone here, I spend extra money for gluten-free food, in the meantime my lipstick could be glutening me!

**ok, I checked, 2 are color surge, but one is long last...anyone know about the long last???

I took them all back, and now I'm not sure I'll remember them all. I was in the store when I returned them, and I looked at the boxes. Those with wheat were Redness Relief Cream, Stop Signs Eyes, the Repairwear products (eye cream, etc.). The clerk said "All about eyes" also had wheat. So I made the assumption that a lot of them must have it. I could be wrong. I know nothing about their makeup products as I don't use them. However, I've got a bunch of Bobbi Brown things I have to check out.

Dramatically different moisturizing lotion is also gluten-free.

Clinique anything made me break out way back to the first time I used it. Thanks for the posting. It confirmed what my body told me.

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
