All Nars Cosmetic Products Are Gluten Free

I thought I would share this with the forum. I have been gluten free for over a year now and finally am giving up my gluten filled make up. Now, for many Celiacs I know that they do not worry about their makeup being processed in a gluten free facility. However, for me, this was very important. Therefore, I am sucking it up and paying out... because I am worth it! :)

I called NARS Cosmetics yesterday and was assured that all of there products are gluten free minus two makeup products which contained corn gluten (so not an issue for Celiacs). Then, after that I compared their products with Afterglow Cosmetics. They looked like a great company too, and stated 100% gluten free on their website. However, I did not want to deal with purchasing online and not seeing the colors, etc. So, I read more into it and called NARS back today. I was armed this time with questions from my Celiac Support Group to ask them.

The Customer Service at NARS, 1-888-788-6277, was very helpful and extremely knowledgable. She was familiar with product ingredients and their derivitives. I asked her to send me a letter explaining what she expressed over the phone. One, that all NARS products were free of gluten (wheat, barley, rye, oats). Two, that all NARS products were produced in a gluten (wheat, barley, rye, oats) free facility. And, three stating where their Vitamin E (Tocopherel Acetate?) was derived from. She let me know that this would be processed through their PR department and sent to me in a couple days. So, as soon as I receive the official letter I will post it here. Yay NARS!!!!

Cool! Good to know. The Lancome makeup line and several of their lipsticks are also Gluten Free. They are also very helpful and will email you a list. Some of their skin care and cleansing items are not gluten-free.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
