Gluten-free Make-up?


Guest Addicted2Gluten

Hi,

I was just curious as to if anyone knows what brands of cosmetics are gluten-free? I've tried a few brands so far and all of them seem to give me some sort of celiac-related problem. For example, when I use Clinique products I get really bad headaches, when I use Estee Lauder products I break out in a rash, and when I use Yves Saint Laurent products I break out in acne. Does anyone know of any brands that are gluten-free? Thank you in advance :)

I'm not a girl, so I have no idea.....my Mom has a Celiac friend and therefore, knows that no eyeliners are gluten-free....I think she has a list of gluten-free makeups, but obviously, my mom didn't need to copy it or anything.......so, like I said, I can offer nothing else.......I feel weird, posting in this thread.... :P

Someone posted that MAC Makeup was gluten free in another forum.

Ok, thanks. I can't believe no eyeliners are gluten-free...I'll have to look into that.

I contacted Lancome and they told me all their products are gluten free but of course they're not responsible for any cross contamination of their products. I use them all the time. I also use eyeliner, both Elizabeth Arden and Estee Lauder. I have a printout Estee Lauder sent me that lists all their gluten containing ingredients and check with the eyeliner and none were there. They said they list everything and they own MAC and Bobbi Brown and Clinique. Of course their liquid make up used wheat but not the eyeliner, loose powder or blush. You need to contact manufacturers and put all the information in a notebook. After a few months you'll start to memorize all of them. ;) Good luck!

Estee Lauder eyeline is good to go? I am hearing you right? If so I am going to buy some right away. I have been wanting glutenfree eyeliner so bad!

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
