What Lipstick Do You Use?

I'm confused - I just got this list from Loreal of the ingredients in their products that contain gluten - maltodextrin being one of them. I thought maltodextrin was one of the "safe" things we could eat (I remember thinking it was not safe b/c of the word "malt" but then being corrected that it WAS safe) - what's the deal?

The following list of ingredients that are used in our products, are those that contain wheat and other grains. This list may also be used by the celiac patient to identify gluten-containing ingredients. This list gives the standard industry names for ingredients as found in the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary.

I think maltodextrin is only generally safe when its used in food. When it's in cosmetics or medication, I believe that's a whole different situation. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm not entirely positive on that one.

I believe that maltodextrin used in 'food' products in the U.S. is usually made from corn. However it is common for it to be made from barley and usually is in foods from other countries. You MUST ALWAYS check with the manufacturer. Even brands that you know, if produced in a facility outside the U.S. can have different ingredients. Cosmetics and meds are totally different. Ingredients come from all over the world.

Just got the okay on Outlast Lipstick & gloss by CoverGirl. (It was like pulling teeth to get it, but I just love this lipstick-- it has no perfumey taste & stays put all day. You do have to reapply the gloss frequently, but you can do that without looking in the mirror!)

I use Outlast, too, but don't really like the gloss. I use something else that stays on longer.

I'm confused about Cover Girl then. Aren't they owned by Proctor and Gamble who sent many of us a form letter stating that they could not tell us what products in any of the cosmetic lines were gluten free? How did you get someone to tell you the Cover Girl Outlast l/s is gluten free?

So far two companies have told me they have some gluten-free lipsticks - Lumene and Neutrogena. I have 6 from Lumene and two from Nertrogena. I have to mix several together to get the color I want. I think Bare Essentials and Bare Minerals have some gluten-free lipsticks (but not all) but does anyone know of some other cheap (drugstore brands) that you found out were gluten free? My Mother told me today she'd neglected to get new lipstick after being gluten-free for a week. I know none of Lumenes colors are dark enough for her and she can find hardly Neutrogena ones in stock anywhere in her town.

If you don't know of cheap brands, then tell me about any department store brands that you know are gluten free. We need all the help we can get.

I spend half a day reading ingredientes, I bought Revlon as cheap brand, and last week end I bought Elizabeth Arden. REvlon has a lot of nice colors.

DONT BUY Clinique, DONT BUY Estee Lauder.

I am terribly sorry that you guys have gotten the response from Mary kay that you did. I am a Mary Kay Consultant and have been for 13 years. I was diagnosed in August and that was the first thing I did was check with the company. And the lipsticks are safe as are most of their products if not all. They do list all of their ingredients for every product that is available to us consultants. And going through everything, and working with medical relations, are products are safe. I never stopped using them, and I am doing great! I hope this helps clear up some information.

I want to ditto this! I am also a consultant, and currently, the only products with any kind of wheat or oat ingredient listed are 1) Nail Polish 2) Advanced Moisture Renewal Cream 3) Concealer 4) Eye Primer. (I poured through my ingredient book!) So the Concealer is a bummer, but I don't need it when I use their foundation, it is pretty covering.....but I just wanted to put this info out there. The consultants have a book called "Comsumers Guide to Ingredients" that list every ingredient and what it does, so whoever you call should be able to tell you exactly what is in it, and what that product does. I think that letter was a legal mumbo-jumbo way of making sure they don't get sued (and that happens all of the time!), and also old, as they haven't sold vitamins for at least 4 years!

Kind of a loophole... they will not guarrantee any product with outsourced components, but I pestered them until they finally divulged the info that there were no outsourced components in this product... why they couldn't have told me that in the first place... but never mind. I have a thread on this subject with all the messages (ever increasing in frustration level!) that it took to get them to tell me this simple fact.

In my brief experience as a Celiac, I have found that in order to get information from CYA companies, it is best to pester them mercilessly, ask for executives' addresses, & stress the number of Celiacs they are likely to offend by refusing information. (I always mention that I will post their responses on Celiac.com!)

I've also found that some companies will tell you things over the phone that they won't put in writing. Of course, that means if the info is wrong, you'll have no proof. I'm thinking of getting one of those phones that records calls!

About the lipstick, I should caution that this okay only applies to the Outlast variety. I didn't ask about any of the others since I don't use them.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
