Lipstick question.

Is Maybelline Superstay Vinyl Liquid lipstick safe?

The only ingredient of concern on the label is tocopherols, but when I asked the company I got the typical CYA statement regarding their careful allergen practices and such and talking to a doctor. I know tocopherols are usually from soy, but it doesn't identify the source for sure and it doesn't even say what type of tocopherol, it just says 'tocopherol' on the ingredient list. Is it of any concern to use this lipstick? I really like the color and have yet to find a natural, labeled gluten free option that matches it, so?

Thanks.

I'm not sure which color you use, but if you go here:

https://www.maybelline.com/lip-makeup/lipstick/super-stay-vinyl-ink-longwear-liquid-lipstick

you will see ingredients for one color that are below. Tocopherol is an ingredient, which is a type of vitamin E, is generally considered to be gluten-free. Tocopherol is a natural compound found in various foods and is often used as an additive in cosmetics, skincare products, and some processed foods as a preservative due to its antioxidant properties.

While tocopherol itself does not contain gluten, it's important to be aware that in some cases, additives or carrier substances used in the production of vitamin E supplements or other products could potentially contain gluten. However, the risk of gluten contamination from tocopherol is generally considered to be very low.

I believe it looks to be gluten-free.

Thank you so much. I was having a hard time finding that info on the lipstick tube itself. Really appreciate it. I've been trying to switch to dedicated gluten free products in most cases, but it's just hard to find the exact color I wanted, so I'm glad that I can keep using this product.

      I have not made my own juices but have made my own granola copycat recipe from Trader Joes Turmeric ginger granola. Have you made your own juices? blending vs cold pressed what is better?

      Sadly, I just now see the extremely tiny and hard to read wording on the label from some I got from nuts.com last year and it's below the certified gluten free sign which is more obvious. Another concern is that there's no expiration date to be found on any of the packages I have gotten.. It's confusing because they claim these are certified gluten free which Is why I got them due to having celiac. Looks like Tierra Farm has the lesser of the allergens, specifically wheat, so I will have to give them a try. Thanks

      After many years of running Celiac.com, one thing I've noticed is that I rarely hear about support groups that organize gluten-free picnics. It seem like this would be a great way to get celiacs together. I've attended various conferences, meetings, and events over the years, but strangely, no gluten-free picnics.
