Tocopheryl Linoleate

Very frustrated trying to find out what Tocopheryl Linoleate is derived from! The cosmetic companies are slow getting back to me (if at all). And don't really know if I would trust the customer service reps that handle the questions. Does anyone use products that contain Tocopheryl or Tocopherol, and if so, do you have a problem with that ingredient. Thanks so much.

Hard to determine from all the complex literature out there:

Best I can guess: It is Vitamin E (the ester) derived from vegetable oil - I don't think wheat or barley or rye are often used to get vegetable oil - but don't know about that for the cosmetic industry vice the food industry.

I can understand why the companies are slow to respond! They probably have to ask a bunch of suppliers who have to ask a bunch of chemical companies to get to the root of the derivation.

I don't react to anything with Tocopheryl Linoleate in it - but I don't react to gluten stuff on the skin at all anyway.....

Good luck!

What I usually do is call the company and ask what it is derived from. Most natural products use either soy or wheat for this. I am allergic to soy and also celiac and not checking can be a real problem for me on more than one level. Most companies consider this to be a gluten free product which is why I ask specifically about the wheat or soy I do NOT ask if the product is gluten free.

I made the mistake a couple of days ago of using a foundation that the store rep said was gluten-free, got lazy and didn't follow my own rules. I spent yesterday on a glutened rollercoaster, one minute so depressed I didn't want to do anything but cry and the next so angry at the world that heaven help anyone who might come in contact with me. Of course it flared my arthritis and tendon issues and I will most likely need to sleep braced for a few days. Today is a day I will spend mostly in the bathroom. I did get the stuff in my eye and might not have reacted if that hadn't happened. Gluten is absorbed by the mucous membranes but not through skin.

Some of the tocepherals are 'man made', you will know those by a D- before the word tocepherals.

Thanks for the input. I usually do all my product checking via email since I work full time and it is hard to make these calls during the day. But this one will probably need a phone call as I am not getting a response. Thanks again everyone!

Just a thought, perhaps you could give us the name of the product and see if others here may have already researched it or perhaps use it.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
