I have bolded the most likely chemicals to be gluten derived. Did you ask them directly if any of the ingredients are derived from wheat or oats or other gluten grains or oils?

I did. This is their response:

"Thank you for writing to us at Benefit Cosmetics. Benefit Cosmetics does not test for or claim that our products are hypoallergenic (least likely to cause a reaction), gluten free or non-comedogenic (does not cause pimples & blackheads)."

Thanks for letting me know about those ingredients. Is there a place where I can look them up?

Ravenwood is right--I've been glutened by products containing tocopherols, as they can be derived from wheat.

Because of their statement, I would either not use the product, or at least contact the company again and ask where they derive the ingredient in question.

FYI--Burt's Bees states that their vitamin E (tocopherol) is derived from soy.

this makes sense. I have been wondering why I was getting worse by using lip salves containing tocopherol or tocopherol acetate. I maybe developing a wheat allergy but I know that I have a topical reaction to soy which is why the lipsalves don't work only make my lips sting and burn. Does anyone know of any salves or lipsticks that don't contain these ingredients?

Hi I have just joined the site and noticed your question about lipbalms.

Have you looked at www.anousta.co.uk in the Uk

Excellent lipbalms...no tocopherol.

How is Almond oil for most Celiac's?

The ingredients are simple and uncomplicated. Almond oil. Cocoabutter. and a little beeswax. Essential oil flavours or unscented is available. Any help?

After getting badly glutened (DH blisters!) by some lipgloss iwht no "obvious" gluten products except tocopherol, I went through my cosmetics basket and started writing companies. I wrote to about 30 companies yesterday alone. I will be posting their replies as they come in.

This is a frustrating part of celiac because many of these companies cannot or will not commit. Well then, I cannot or will not commit to buying their products! I hope money really does talk.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
