If you're looking for specific information from Chanel, I would call them. They verified the gluten-free status of a few products for me quite some time back, but I had to tell them specifically which product (including shade).

If you're looking for higher-end cosmetics with a more standardized response to the gluten question, I've had no issues (yet) with MAC's lipglass. Other products gluten free cosmetics:

MAC is not all gluten-free.

BELOW is confirmed gluten-free 5/2006 by phone.

Bronzing Powder (Except any color containing 'Refined' in the color name)

Why do we need to use gluten-free make-up? I understand lipstick. Please help, I'm still a newbie!

Jesscarmel--all Nars products are gluten free? I didn't know that--that's great. I already love their blush but have been using MAC forever since I know which products of theirs are safe.

It really is a cross contamination problem. Even if you don't put foundation on your lips it is close enough to your mouth to cause problems. Think about when you are washing it off with water running down your face. It really becomes an issue if you have Celiac toddlers. Little ones love to check out mom's makeup and hug and kiss your face all the time.

I also discovered that I should be sure of cosmetics other than lipstick because my eyes tend to always tear, esp. in the winter, and some of my makeup will inevitably make it into my mouth (it gets picked up by the tears, and moves to my lips, I would imagine). I had to get really diligent about which products are gluten-free when my gastroenterologist told me that I was still ingesting gluten despite the fact that I thought I was on a gluten-free diet.

Thanks for letting me know; "orgasm" is a great blush shade. I actually haven't tried the MAC lipglass yet--I'll have to give it a try.

About Nars, their stuff is all I use since it's all gluten-free. Also, just an FYI, their skincare is all gluten-free, too. However, I haven't tried it as it's very expensive, but it's there if I ever want to splurge! They are the only company I've found where literally every product is gluten-free, so I feel really safe with them, even if it's costing me a fortune!

I've mentioned this before but Mac, Chanel, Nars (and many others), they are all made by the same company. Not necessarily the same parent brand that you would be familiar with (such as Estee Lauder or L'Oreal - which own the majority of all the makeup brands), but there are only a few companies that actually produce the cosmetics for all these brands. They are simply tailored to their specifications. So Mac, Nars, Victoria Secret, Lancome, etc. etc. are all coming from the same place.

I believe there are some that actually make their own stuff.

They say that a large percentage of what you put on your body is absorbed into your body. They are finding all kinds of synthetic ingredients from cosmetics in our bodies now as well as in tumors... it's pretty crazy. So if you are only concerned about absorbing gluten into your system you might want to look at what else you are also absorbing with standard cosmetics...

that's exactly why Channel responded with such a generic "legal" response as to the 'safety' of their products. I HIGHLY recommend you all check out The Breast Cancer Fund's website www.safecosmetics.org They started a "Compact for Safe Cosmetics" that is trying to promote safe cosmetics in a system that is virtually unregulated.

Also, another must is the EWG's Skin Deep Open Original Shared Link website which ranks all the cosmetics brands on the market in terms of safety: Open Original Shared Link

You can type in Nars and Chanel and see how they stack up (you will find they are not so healthy even though some of their products are Gluten Free). I personally use Afterglow Cosmetics which is an all natural mineral cosmetic brand - it's ranked as one of the safest on the EWG website and also doesn't contain all the junk found in many other cosmetics (my skin has improved too and I get tons of compliments on the finish!) Not only is Afterglow gluten free it also has no talc, no bismuth oxychloride, no parabens, no animal testing, no lake or FD&C dyes and no petrochemicals.

Check out those two sites! They are really eye-openers! :blink:

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac. Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction. However, avoiding it here in the states. Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Oral thrush question

      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...

What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!
