Lip Smackers Or Other Chapstick

Does anyone know which brands of lip smackers or chapstick are gluten free? I'm looking for something with a very pale color or no color at all - it's for a child. Thanks.

I use Badger's lip balm. I find it health food stores, or at Whole Foods. I love it--it's very natural, and it doesn't have any color. I've also verified it to be gluten-free.

I have heard her that Lip Smackers have wheat germ oil in them but I have not verified that myself.

Burt's Beeswax makes some sparkly, colored lip balm that is gluten-free.

I also use Badger Balm. It comes either in a stick or a pot. They have some nice flavors, too. Cinnamon, lemon/ginger and a couple of others.

I called them and they told me they use no gluten there whatsoever.

I believe regular Chapstick is gluten free, as is Blistex. I generally use Bert's Bees Peppermint lip balm, myself.

I also use Burts Bees. Just their plain beeswax lip balm in the tube. Even before going gluten free I got hooked on this kind the first time I used it and nothing seems to work as well for me.

some of the chapstick flavors do contain gluten and some do not, I recommend calling the company and verifying for yourself. Personally I use Burt's Bees but mymom got my daughter one of the Disney Chapsticks and I did verify that flavor was gluten-free but I don't remember the other flavors that were.

I have been using Kiss My Face. The ingredients seem ok. Does anyone know if it is definitley gluten free?

Lip Rescue with Shea Butter, made by Desert Essence is really good. I have not called the company, but all ingredients look ok. I had a terrible time a few months ago with really, really, dry lips that nothing helped - until I tried this. I bought it at my local health food store and it is also available online.

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
