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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      Celiac getting dentures

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
