Gluten Free Lipsticks?

I'm sure it sounds a bit silly, but I need to know which lipsticks are gluten free. I checked out the lipstick I'm using right now (Clarins) and the ingredients list wheat. I think Clinique is o.k., but I want to be sure before I spend the $ since the better lipsticks are not cheap. It seems the ingredient lists can be under some of the more unusual names from what I've seen so I didn't want to rely on just checking the ingredients myself at the store.

Never ceases to amaze me the things I find I gluten in...

Hi :)

I use either Neutrogena lipsticks, lip glosses and lip tints, or Smashbox. Most of their products are gluten-free--but always check!

Burts Bees are gluten-free (the shimmering stick kind - not sure if they all are) and I know some of the Clinique are gluten-free but some contain gluten. It is not obvious in the ingredient list since they do not have to follow the FDA rules. Somewhere on this board someone posted which Clinique lipsticks were gluten-free at one point - try doing a search on clinique. Otherwise, you can contact the company and ask, but they might not tell you unless you ask about a particular one.

I have just changed all my makeup over to Mineral makeup and love it! I am getting mine from an Australian company but they ship overseas and have a website. JR Minerals. Its a lot cheaper than most and its seem great. I have the lipstick pen and thats super glossy but not a long laster but still great.Also pots of lip colour. She said she will have new lipsticks available any day that will be the long lasting type. I started with a starter pack. Its all gluten-free except some of the flavoured lip balms but she can gaurantee everything else. The orange lip balm is gluten-free. I love the entire range.The foundation feels as light as air but has super coverage.

I'm also on a lipstick quest -- I had just e-mailed Sephora to ask about Smashbox, and was told that they could not guarantee that any of their products were gluten-free because they may be processed in the same warehouse as products containing gluten. I realize that every mainstream brand is likely to have potential cc issues, because they get their ingredients from all over, but Sephora didn't even seem to want to distinguish between products that contain gluten as an ingredient, versus a potential cc issue. Did they give you a different answer regarding Smashbox? Thanks.

SmashBox lipsticks are gluten free. NOT their lip treatments though - they are usually in a white tube. And I just rechecked with them about 3 weeks ago.

Good luck

Hi Jacqui -- can you give me the info about how to check with SmashBox? Was it by phone or e-mail? I'm not doubting that they told you it was gluten-free, I'm just confused because they gave me a completely different answer via e-mail just last week, and I'd like to figure out what the discrepancy is. Thanks so much. Rochelle

I use Smashbox for everything. I have also rechecked about a month ago and their lipsticks/makeup are still gluten-free EXCEPT their "lip treatments" which have an SPF in it and come in a white tube, I think an eye makeup remover and one other thing that I don't use anyway.

Oh, and it is NOT SILLY. If you have a gluten problem or celiac disease than you definitely need gluten-free lipstick.

Take care,

Jacqui ;)

Cover Girl Outlast is gluten-free.

      So sorry to hear you are going through this!   What OTC med did you take?  
    • knitty kitty
      Yep,yep,yep, called it from experience.  I've lived through SIBO and Candida myself.  I get a different sorts of reactions to dairy, high sugar consumption, and gluten.  I react to Casein, the protein in dairy.   Try the AIP diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne designed it and is a Celiac herself.  Her book, the Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.

      Yes, I know.   Without sufficient Folate, Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine, the body can't get rid of high homocysteine levels.  High homocysteine levels make one restless, interferes with sleep and resembles ADHD symptoms.  High homocysteine levels occur in Celiac Disease.  Chronic high histamine levels lead to high homocysteine levels.

      You called it @knitty kitty.  I went to another health care provider for another opinion, and based on some tests they did, they suggested I might also be dealing with a fungal issue (candida and/or mold).  I saw that you mentioned before in this chain that some people on this forum also get Candida infections.  So it seems that I am possibly dealing that issue in my gut as well. I think some of the symptoms that I've been not able to understand now make a lot of sense within this context (such as why eating dairy and sugar sometimes causes me to get headaches, joint pain, chills, feel like I have the flu... if these things are making the candida infection worse by feeding the candida, and then my body responds by trying to fight it off, then I basically am fighting off an infection, which is exactly what it feels like).  The flu-like reaction that I get when I eat dairy is a distinct reaction than the one I get from getting glutened (which is also bad, but different: headache, sharp abdominal pains, gas, diarrhea). That's what made me think there was something else at play.

      I'm concerned about calcium.  I don't think I'm getting enough especially since I ended up having to get off dairy when I went gluten free.  However, if you have too much calcium, it can deposit in the wrong places and you can get thinks like bone spurs.  I'd like find a decent supplement for that.  Was thinking of looking into the algae based calcium supplements since they're more natural than some of the others available, but seem rather expensive.  When possible, I try supplement with food sources.  One or two Brazil nuts usually have the full RDA for selenium.  One Barbados cherry has the daily RDA for vitamin C.  I also use seaweed to help supplement iodine since I don't use iodized salt.
