Please Help Me Figure Out If My Chapstick Is Gf

[mytummyhurts]

I've finally kind of gotten used to what for look for in foods, but now I've started reading my meds and chapstick and other products and they use totally different terminology. Can anybody help me. Below is the link to my chapstick ingredients list. If anybody is experience reading this stuff can you look at it and then let me know if it if gluten-free?

Thanks! Abby

Abby- I think it looks fine. This website is a good resource--has definitions of random chemicals that are hard to identify... I looked up one of the random ingredients in your chapstick and it told me what it is: Open Original Shared Link

Also--here is a list of gluten-free chapstick products in case you or anyone else uses those...

Whenever there is alcohol and flavor you should check. Whenever you don't know about all of the ingredients you shoud check just to make sure so you are not overlooking anything.

You guys are very helpful. Thanks! I'm happy that I can keep using my favorite chapstick!

[mytummyhurts]

I don't want to be a pain about this, but is there a list somewhere for ingredients found in these things as to whether they are safe or not? I have another thing now that I'm trying to find out if it's gluten-free, where can I go in the future to find out without having to bug you guys.

It's ingredients are:

Polybutene

Hydrogenated Polyisobutene

Mentha Piperite Oil

Sorbitan Sesquioleate

Menthyl Lactate

Saccahrin

Thanks, Abby

Yeah, I refer to that list when I'm checking my foods, but I thought cosmetic ingredients might be different and not on the lists. Because when I read the ingredients on my chapstick, shampoo, etc. I don't recognize any of the names.

This email might help you out with some makeup ingredients. You may want to do a search on FDA regulations for gluten ingredients to look for. I would just ask on here I am sure someone will no and if not you could always call.

We are attaching a list of grain-derived ingredients, found on our labels, which will be helpful in providing you direction. This information covers products marketed under the following trademarks: Est
