Gluten Free/organic Lip Gloss?


pellegrino

Recommended Posts

I was just diagnosed with celiac disease and have read that lipstick and lip gloss can contain gluten. I rarely wear lipstick, but wear gloss every day.

What's the best way to find out if the products I usually use are gluten free? Do companies usually answer emails or do I need to call? Calling is a bit difficult during the day while I'm at work, so I would hope I could get an email answer. Do they usually provide an answer right away or am I likely to get some employee who doesn't even know what gluten is?

The three lip glosses I use most are Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush, Sally Hansen Maximum Plumping Lip Treatment and Fresh Lip Shine. Anyone know if these contain gluten?

There's a whole lot of chemicals in these glosses, but I don't see wheat of any sort listed in the ingredients. I'm assuming gluten could be hidden in other ingredients. What are these ingredients I should look for?

Also, can anyone recommend a good organic lip gloss? No parabens, no petroleum derived ingredients, etc. Aubrey's Organics has a couple glosses, but I don't really like any of the colors. They also come in pots, and I'd like gloss in a tube.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I am new to all of this as well. I have been emailing every company I can think of about products that I use. They are usually surprisingly helpful. I use clinique lipstick and found out that one of mine contained wheat bran under the odd name of triticum vulgare.

They responded to me in the same day when I emailed it was really nice. Since then I emailed about more products I have and they have not responded. I guess my list was a little long!

I use clinique lip gloss. I doubt that it's organic but it is gluten free (glosswear for lips - tender heart) I wish you the best of luck!

I like Burt's Bees lip sheers. (It's on the company's gluten-free list)

Kiss My Face and Jason make lip glosses as well (can be found at Whole Foods). Jason will clearly list any gluten ingredients. I have not verified the gluten-free status of Kiss My Face...might be worth looking into though.

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Lysine is helpful for "cold sores" (oral herpes).

      @Wheatwacked, Are you aware of the interaction of potassium iodide and losartan ?   https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/iodine-potassium-iodide-with-losartan-1368-0-1489-0.html#:~:text=Talk to your doctor before,to safely use both medications.

      As a life.long celiac, I understand this.  I simply ask that the medical profession stop disregarding the fact that it should remain a concern for some. It cost me a lot of medical discomforts.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.
