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.

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      For the Inguinal hernia I could definitely feel it, and it came with an obvious bulge that appeared soon after doing a project where I was drilling holes on concrete using a very old school regular hand drill with mason bit, instead of a hammer drill with mason bit--this left me squatting over the drill putting my weight on it for several hours (the hammer...

      @Scott Adams Strange question but can you actually feel your hernia? I have so many abdominal lumps and bumps of longstanding (my GP said it's fat!) that I sometimes wonder if an inguinal hernia could be missed. I am quite sure some of my pain is from my umbilical hernia but that first came about courtesy of my second pregnancy.

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      I had double hernia laparoscopic surgery two months go to repair both an Inguinal hernia (a recent home project injury) and an umbilical hernia (which I had for many years, but fixing it at the same time made sense), and am now more or less fully recovered. Recently on the forum someone mentioned the idea of hernia induced IBS, which I now believe was a real...

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For the Inguinal hernia I could definitely feel it, and it came with an obvious bulge that appeared soon after doing a project where I was drilling holes on concrete using a very old school regular hand drill with mason bit, instead of a hammer drill with mason bit--this left me squatting over the drill putting my weight on it for several hours (the hammer drill would not have required this level of stress, nor the time it took). Bad idea--learn from my mistake in being "lazy" and not renting (or buying) the proper tool for the job. My umbilical hernia was around for many years, and I didn't feel that one at all, so never worried about it. My doctor basically recommended doing both in one surgery, which seemed like wise move.  As far as the possible IBS connection to either, it was definitely apparent after getting the Inguinal hernia, which is why I asked my doctor about that, but after getting both fixed I realize that the umbilical hernia likely also had mild IBS effects over the years.

Recently on the forum someone mentioned the idea of hernia induced IBS, which I now believe was a real for me, but was a fairly minor issue overall, which got worse after getting the more recent Inguinal hernia. My doctor never mentioned this as a possibility, even though I directly asked him about it during my office visit: Me "can my hernias cause any digestive issues?" My doctor: "No, I doubt that." I still need to learn more about hernia induced IBS, but I realize now that I might have been affected by this to some degree in for a while.
