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!

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
