Need Help Finding A Good Soy Free, Gluten Free Lip Balm

Attention: Ravenwood or Jersey Angel...........or anyone else willing to help

I am having a very diffilcut time finding a gluten-free, soy free, lip balm. I was using Burts Bees but it contains soy. Three weeks ago, I tried a new organic lip balm mnade by a samll company called SANRE chocolate kiss. It is an organic product and I had a reaction to the product within a week (my lips were cracking ..like a form of dermatitis). The product contained honey, cocoa butter, zinc oxide, cocoa powder, lavender oil, lemon, vitamin E, beeswax, geranium, and coconut oil.

Then I switched to a product called Softlips organic (made by mentholatum) and my lips are even worse. This product contained ingredients similar to the SANRE product.

I also will not use products containing toxic chemicals like parabens and petroleum as I showed exposure to Xylene (a toxic environmental chemical)on my recent Organic Acids test. I am steering clear of Benzene, xylene, toulene products. I have been suffering from nocturnal sleep myoclonus for almost three years and it is ruining my life. I do not want to ingest any gluten, soy, dairy or toxic chemicals that could be causing or contributing to this problem.

After reviewing this, if you have any idease for a gluten-free, soy free, non-toxic lip balm, please let me know. I have been using olive oil for the past few days and it does not do the trick!

Thanks a million,

Sylvia ann :)

why not try making something of your own by mixing your favorite oil with coconut oil (for solidity)?

Maybe almond oil or something tasty like that.

I use Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm in peppermint, and I do not see any soy in the ingredients. I can't have soy, and I have never had a problem with this product. Which ingredient is soy?

That's what I do. I use coconut oil with just a very small amount of almond oil. I have a little bitty wisk and bowl that I combine them in.

It's not technically lip balm, but I use pure lanolin for chapped everything, including lips. It's marketed for chapped nipples for breastfeeding mothers (so you have to look for it on the baby aisle), and it works better than anything else I've ever tried.

Thank you for all the great ideas..Deb, I thought all the Burts Bees lip balms contained soy oil but I hope I am mistaken on the peppermint one. Do you know what the product's source of vitamin E is?

Thanks a million,

What brand of almond oil do you use? One other question...have you found a safe all natural body lotion (no gluten soy, parabens or petroleum products). I am using Now's Joba Joba cocoa butter & jj oil but I would really like a lotion (for dry skin) when I am in a hurry.

Thanks a million for any ideas!

Have you ever heard of a cosmetic company called "Yes to Carrots"? I noticed their products at Target yesterday. I just looked them up and they state their lip balms are gluten-free and soy free. Have you ever heard of them or know anyone who has used them safely?

Thanks a million,

I use one by Aura Cacia but I would imagine any would be fine. I also use the Now's Cocoa butter and JJ oil. A little while back I got adventurous and tryed a lotion by Pangea Organics. French Camomile with sweet orange and lavender hand and body lotion. I have been using it now for 3 months with no problems but I didn't verify it but went by the ingredients.

I have used Suave but not in a long time so I don't remember if that had some form of soy in it or not.

I use Booda Organics all-natural lip balm.  It's vegan and handmade and lists the ingredients on their site. Smells yummy, heals my lips and leaves them softer. :)

What about redapplelipstick? I love their products Their balm looks ok, but I would ask to be sure: Open Original Shared Link

 

Rallye Balm
(net wt. .16 oz/4.5g)
Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Mineral Wax, Vitamin E from a natural and gluten free source, Aloe Barbadensis

 

They say their products are allergen free, so I would think soy should be in that list but who knows. I love them but soy in small amounts really isn't an issue for me.

I also can't do soy, and while I still use some creams and stuff with soy in it with no problems (as far as I can tell. They work too well otherwise for me to switch), it definitely can't go on my lips.

 

Check out your local (if you have one) health food store and inspect all the labels. I've been using Hurraw!, which is organic and vegan, gluten and soy free. Made in the US. I used their sun protection (spf 15) for quite a while with no problems. It's nice and smooth too, and doesn't go all funny after a while like some organic lip glosses. Open Original Shared Link

No mention of soy anywhere. I suppose you could contact them to double-check, but I used to get an immediate "soyed" feeling with any glosses with soy, and no problemo with this one.

 

Good luck in your hunt!

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
