Does anyone know if there are any gluten-free lipsticks available at local drugstores, discount stores, or easily available at many health food stores? Thank you so much!

Burt's Bees lip shimmers are gluten-free. I see them at just about every drug store, even grocery stores now.

That's awesome! Thank you! How much color do they give? Are they like a lightly colored chapstick, or do they give more color than that?

They're not like Chapstick--they're more like a cross between a lipstick and gloss. They range in color from clear to very saturated deep reds and pinks.

The tocopherol they use is from soy.

I just discovered BB's lip shimmers, I love them! I want one in each color.....they are moisturizing, and taste like peppermint :D

BB lip shimmers are also my favorite! I try to stay away from lipsticks that have alot of added ingredients so these are perfect.

Just had to add my two cents about Burt's Bees lip shimmers...I have really dry lips, which is made worse by constantly playing the oboe, and I searched and tried different products that I hoped would help my chronically chapped lips. By far the best thing I ever found was the lip shimmers, and that was before going gluten free. They used to be so hard to find, I'm glad they're more widely available now!

Hello.  I am new here and work in the beauty industry.   Gluten free lip products include:  Pacifica, Revlon Colorstay Lipstick, Physicians Formula Argan Wear Lip Oil, Elf products, Blistex products, Cover Girl states most should be, but double check the ingredients, Maybelline and Loreal both state that they use no gluten ingredients but cannot guarantee the environment in where it is manufactured.  Hope this helps!

If you really want piece of mind and to insure the end product is tested, consider a certified gluten free lipstick like Red Apple or Gabriel.

I use L'Oreal Colour Riche mostly and haven't had a problem.  However, I don't know that I'm what one would consider 'highly sensitive' with my Celiac.

Didn't know that about Revlon Colorstay -- that's good news.

As of July 2025, Blistex is no longer gluten free for their five star protection lip balm The last ingredient is WHEAT! From Blistex' website, ingredient list for 5 Star Protection;: "Inactive Ingredients: bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, bis-stearyl dimethicone, butyloctyl salicylate, C12-15 alkyl benzoate, calendula officinalis extract, caprylic/capric triglyceride, carthamus tinctorius (safflower) seed oil, cetyl dimethicone, citric acid, euphorbia cerifera (candelilla) wax, flavor, microcrystalline wax, myristyl myristate, octyldodecanol, oryzanol, ozokerite, panthenol, phenoxyethanol, sorbic acid, stearyl behenate, sucralose, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, tocopheryl acetate, triticum vulgare (wheat) germ oil"

Thanks for sharing this info! Frustrating to see companies who haven't used wheat as an ingredient start to do so!

Have you tried lip balm made from tallow?  It's been used for thousands of years and works better than those with waxes.

I prefer Vintage Traditions brand tallow balm products.

      learned I had a high PTH level in 2022 suspected to be due to low vit D  got my vit D level up a bit but still have high PTH   I am 70 yrs old (today in fact) I am looking for someone who also has hyperparathyroidism that might be caused by malabsorption

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      What is the best liquid multivitamin for celiac disease?
    • Jmartes71
      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
