Kaiti,

I read your post about gluten-free products..I need shampoo (I've been using Thermosilk), moisturizer (I use oil of Olay), and face make-up (I use Mac), and shaving cream.

Do you know offhand if these are gluten-free or have recommendations for gluten-free?

Someone here said Coppertone is all gluten-free..do u know if that is true?

jknnej- I use dove soaps, shampoos, and conditioners, hairsprays etc....I called them and was told that they will not hide anything in their ingredients. I like to stick with one brand that I know is gluten-free. It is easier for me at least.

For makeup ALL of Bare Escentuals makeup is gluten-free...lipstick, eye liner and shadow, mascara etc...some of the moisturizers are and the ones that are not will show the ingredients but again all the makeup is. I use banana boat sunscreen when I use sunscreen (I hardly use it) I have heard that coppertone is gluten-free but I have not checked with them personally.

Last I heard Oil of olays body wash and moisturizers were gluten-free. I have not checked with them in a while though. I was told by Proctor& Gamble that anything manufactured by them don't hide wheat,rye, barley, or oats under anything.

For other Moisturizers I use Neutrogena. They sent me a gluten-free list of their products. If you are interested in that I would be more than happy to send it to you.

Hope this helps :D

I called Lancome a week or so ago and I checked about 10 things of lipstick and they said it was all gluten-free. But when I asked about all of their products they said they could not guarantee it and I would have to check with each individual thing. So do you know if all the products are gluten-free molly? That would be really cool if that whole brand was gluten-free as well :D

While this makeup thread is going, I was looking, too, for gluten-free powder and foundation, as that is the most likely thing that I could injest other than lipstick (when I'm washing my face at night, there's sometimes "run-off" from the water onto my lips, and I'm trying to be SO careful!).

Any good powders or foundations? I currently use all Clinique makeup, other than Cover Girl lipstick.

jmengert-Be careful about CoverGirl lipstick. I called them and they said that their lipsticks were good except they told me the ones with fragrance in them could have traces of gluten in them.

I also called Clinique and they could not guarantee me so I threw all of my clinique stuff away:( I like that brand 2.

The foundation I use in Bare Escentuals. It works really good for me. There whole line is gluten-free as well.

Yeah, I thought that I would have to get rid of my Clinique stuff. I think that I'm just going to go get all MAC stuff and maybe mix in some Lancome. It's so expensive, though, and I hate that I have to get rid of my makeup that wasn't so cheap itself, either. So very annoying!

I know it is so expensive. I use Bare Escentuals and since I had to switch lines my parents are paying half and even then I find it expensive :lol: I had to get rid of literally all the makeup and that was hard because some of the colors worked so good for me...but then I figured it it makes me feel better I'll find another good color. Hope you find something that works well :D

Mary Kay foundation and powder are glutenfree, as are the lipsticks, eye shadows, and blushes. The waterproof mascara is glutenfree, but the other two they sell are not. The clear nail polish, base, and top coat are gluten-free, but the colored nail polishes all have wheat in them. Mary Kay is the only makeup I use, so it is the only one I know anything about.

Could somebody tell me how they found out MAC is gluten-free, because I got a different response from them. They said they wouldn't guarantee anything and sent me a very long list of things to read in the very tiny printed ingredients statement of each product I'd consider buying. If it's all gluten-free across the board, so to speak, that would be a relief.

Where can I get this Bare essentuals brand? I need some lipstick STAT and I don't want to use anything that might not be gluten-free. I use Mac make up but I'll have to check on it now.

jknnej-QVC offers kits with their products so if you go to their site they have a whole thing for the bare escentuals brand. You can go to bareescentuals.com to learn more about their products. Also, you can look up kits on ebay but make sure they are new and sealed. I got some good deals from off of their. I love this brand.

This is a great question! :)

I can't tell you how many companies I have contacted with this same question. I have basically recieved the same answer from everyone. Even Johnson and Johnson for their baby lotion, "We do not add gluten to our products but cannot guarantee it because many of our ingredients come from outside sources." How ridiculous is that? <_< You would think they would want to know what's in thier own product!

I did however, get an answer from maybelline recently, they said to look in the "International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary" which is a standard in the industry. I was going to check it out online but have not had a chance yet.

It does drive me crazy though, how you can't seem to get clear responses from companies. I can't remember which one it was but one of them said "we have talked to doctors about this and have been told that since you have to ingest gluten to be affected by it, and that lotions, shampoos, and makeups are applied to the skin, that it should not be a problem." This is nuts!! :blink: Anything applied to the skin, soaks in at a cellular level. If not, then lotion companies are putting out false advertisements! Anything on the skin can cause rashes, allergic reations, ect. who are these doctors?

Hi - this is my first attempt to post a message so I hope it works! My daughter and I have both been diagnosed with celiac disease in the last two years and only now have realised that gluten-free means makeup too!!

We have had fabulous and detailed help from Justine Vella at the Estee Lauder group of companies.

These include: Clinique, Estee Lauder, Mac, Donna Karan, Tommy Hilfiger,Origins,Bobbi Brown,Michael Kors,and Jo Malone. Send an email to Justine with your preferred products and she will check them out for you and where necessary will recommend an alternative. She has made a difference to us overnight as I have discovered I have been using lipliners containing gluten - and I thought I was being so careful!!

Hope this helps!

Are there products really gluten free? For some reason whenever I use Estee Lauder products or Clinique products I can horrible headaches and my eyes get bloodshot. I also read earlier on in this post that someone stated that Skintimate shaving cream is gluten free. I was actually just looking into this because everytime I use it my legs break out in a blotchy rash. Maybe I'm allergic to something else in these products...

anyone know offhand a drugstore brand (maybelline, covergirl, etc.) that has nail polish that is gluten-free? I love to paint my 2 year olds nails, but now am afraid to gluten her.

After readin Kaiti's posts on Bare Essentuals, I got some and tried it. This stuff is great. It takes some practice since the process is a little different than with the drugstore brands, but it has a much softer, less made-up look to it. I just got a few items, but I am definitely going back for more. I am getting way too many compliments to quit now.

Most common store brands contain wheat starch. My mom had to change her nail polish so she would not have wheat on them while preparing food for me. Here is a brand that has gluten free nail polish:

Thank you for your inquiry. We are proud to offer a nail polish and

conditioner system that contains:

- No Polyurethanes

- No Formaldehyde or Formaldehyde like derivatives

- No Toluene, Ketones or petrochemical solvents

- No Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) or other phthalates

- No Parabens or Camphor

- No aromatic hydrocarbons

- No Gluten or Wheat product derivatives

As for an explicit list of ingredients, our polish is a water base with a

proprietary acrylic emulsion and non-toxic pigments. If you require explicit

product information regarding any sensitivities you have, please let us know

what you're allergic to and we will find out for you. Our water based

remover is also safer than conventional remover by being water based with

aloe vera and isopropanol, and is exclusively required for removing

Acquarella nail polish.

Thanks so much Kaiti! I'm going to get some of that so I won't gluten my daughter while making her food too. :) Although I'm sad I have to get rid of my giant (30 bottle) nail polish collection now. :(

      Toothpaste question.

      By RDLiberty · Posted

      So, I've been using a gluten free labeled toothpaste since being diagnosed with celiac. No big deal, the toothpaste seems to work. Question is, I just realized it contains hydrated silica.  Now, I've heard that silicon dioxide can cause issues in some people with celiac (was that ever confirmed though?), so to be safe, I cut it out of my diet entirely. But, as I understand it, hydrated silica is related to silicon dioxide. Is that something to worry about, or is the hydrated form not known to cause issues like the silicon dioxide form?  I've never seen it in food, but nearly every toothpaste I look at contains hydrated silica?  Issue or not?  Any scientific research (Not opinion pieces, not health bloggers, you get my gist), but actual science, that says it's an issue? I have a hard time believing 99% of what I read on random internet searches.    Thanks so much, Renee.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Since 2015 we've spent extensive time in Italy and I've been able to eat their wheat products without incident. Initially, I was practically starving thinking foods in Sicily were not gluten-free.  An Italian friend who had lived in the US for over 20 years said she had celiac/gluten-free friends from the US who could eat Italian wheat products without problems. Hesitantly, I tried little by little without issues.  A few years later at a market, I asked a bread vendor if they had gluten-free loaves. Turns out she had lived in LA, said groups believe it's not the gluten that's causing our bodies harm, but potassium bromate; these groups have been trying to ban it.  Bromines and other halogens wreaks havoc to our endocrine system and, more specifically, our thyroids and immune systems. When bromines are ingested/absorbed into the body, it displaces iodine causing other health issues. Potassium bromate is a powerful oxidizing agent (dough 'conditioner') that chemically changes flour to enhance elasticity, bleaches the dough, and ages the flour much faster than open air.   Shortly thereafter while visiting friends in California, one family said they had gone gluten-free and the difference was incredible. The reason they choose this path was due them (a biologist/chemist/agriculturist scientist) having to write a portion of a paper about a certain product for the company he worked. Another company's scientist was directed to write the other portion. All was confidential, they weren't allowed to know the other company/employee.  After the research, they learned gluten was being removed from wheat, sent elsewhere, returned in large congealed blocks resembling tofu, and then added to wheat products. Potassium bromate has been banned for use in Europe, China, and other countries, but not in the US. Then we have the issues of shelf preservatives and stabilizers. What are we eating?  Why? We spend long periods of time in Italy and all has been good.  We just returned from an extended time in Greece;  no issues there either.  There is a man there we learned about on a travel show about Greece who walks the hills, picking herbs, pods, etc.  He is a very learned scholar, taught at the university level in Melbourne. It took a few days to locate him, but were finally successful. He too, is concerned about the additives and preservatives in American food (many of his customers are Americans, haven't been in the best of health, and have become healthier after visiting him). He suggested taking a food product from the US and the same product in Europe, and compare the different ingredients. Then ask why these things are being allowed in the US by the 'watch dog' of our foods and drugs. It would be amuzing if it weren't tragic. I'm presently looking for flour from Europe that I can make my own bread and pasta as the gluten-free bread is now $7.99 a (small) loaf.  BTW, studies are showing that many gluten-free individuals are becoming diabetic. My guess is because the gluten-free products are high in carbs. This is only my experience and opinion garnished by my personal research.  I hope it helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!
