Gluten Free Lipsticks

Ive been on a mission to find out what lipsticks are gluten free as I am an avid lipstick fanatic. I recently read about Avon, Lancome, OPI, and bennefit being gluten free. Can anyone add to this list? I know that the Burts Bees lip shimmers are gluten-free. I happen to love Rimmel, does anyone know about this one? Or others?

Please share.

Hi Steph

NARS says all thier lipsticks and glosses are gluten free but they are kind of expensive. also if you call MAC most of their lipsticks are gluten free- they will tell you over the phone which ones are.

I used to love expensive lipsticks until I had to buy this for my daughter's dance competitions. I don't like the gloss it comes with, but you can use any other gluten-free lip gloss instead.

CoverGirl and Bare Escentuals...some Maybelline I have heard is ok. The Delphi list has some information about lipsticks. It is a bit older but it still works as a good guideline

As I said in the other thread, most Neutrogena lip products are gluten-free.

All Smashbox Cosmetics are gluten-free.

All Ecco Bella *cosmetics* are gluten-free. (Some of their other products contain gluten)

I was told by the company (via email) that all Bare Escentual Lip Products are gluten-free, but I would still check on individual products. I've heard of people getting differing answers from them.

Some of cliniques are!

Garden Botanika lipsticks are. The customer service rep. confirmed it. She checked every ingredient and made sure it wasn't made from any form of gluten. It took her a month to confirm that the lipstick was gluten free, but everytime she found out an ingredient was gluten free she would email me and let me know. Anyone who goes through this much trouble, deserves my business.

I tend to mostly use MAC lipsticks.

I also love Fresh - Sugar Lip Balm. Actually I love all of Fresh's skincare. The Sugar Face Polish is heaven; and the Umbrian Face Clay is awesome! I could keep going, LOL!! I love their stuff.

There's also a company called 'Arbon' or 'Lame Advertisement' or something like that...

all their makeup is gluten-free!

I'm new to this forum and I'm looking for any info I can get on cosmetics. Being in my 40's I've become more interested in finding really good quality cosmetics - and I've become really careful about only using gluten-free cosmetics (or trying to!). I know only gluten that is ingested is supposed to be of concern (and that was the exact answer I received from Cover Girl when I wrote asking about their cosmetics), but after happily using a new foundation (light, good coverage, nice tone) I started getting new break-outs, itchy-watery eyes, headaches, and worst of all, a nerve twitch underneath my right eye (eliminated use of product = symptoms went away). Now I err on the side of caution, rather than take the chance. Any cosmetic / hygiene product information anyone has gathered for sharing is most appreciated. I now rely a lot on Bare Escentuals because I heard they were gluten-free but would love to be able to use a couple of my old standbys. (aveda volumizing spray? Salon Grafix hair spray? Maybelline mascara?)

Hi and welcome! :)

I know that Maybelline Mascara has wheat germ oil in it :angry: Sorry, I don't know about the other 2 products.

      I made it through the holiday w/o being glutened. I had my brother cook with gluten-free breadcrumbs and I didn't get sick. I baked cookies with gluten-free flour and had dry ingredients for cookies in ziplock bag. I also made gluten cookies as well and guess I did good washing to avoid CC. My wife also went to a french bakery and bought a gluten-free flourless chocolate cake dedicated gluten-free it was out of this world.

      What do you mean it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again. I think if this helps cross contamination when eating out at a non dedicated gluten-free restaurant this would be nice not to encounter the pains. But is their a daily enzyme to take to help strengthen the digestive system?

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
