Need Help With Gluten-Free Make-Up

Due to a very highly positive blood test in March & a positive biopsy last week, I (believe) I have done a pretty good job at getting rid of everything with gluten and replacing everything including food, dishes, body products. However, I need some help with make-up suggestions please! I see a lot of people on here talking about buying make-up online that is very expensive... Does anyone have a list of safe gluten-free mainstream make-up that I could buy in a store like WalMart, CVS, Target, etc???!!! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks so much!!

I believe most Neutrogena make-up items are gluten free.

Wet & Wild nail polish sent me a note that the nail polish is gluten-free. Maybe not a big deal for toes, but definately for fingers. Cerave is a thick lotions thats really good for very dry skin & elbows, feet, etc. They told me they are gluten-free.

While not available at drug stores, Everyday Minerals are pretty reasonable and gluten-free. I just received my large mineral foundation--it was $9 and I was able to also get 3 decent sized samples of blush. (I had my choice of samples.)

Kim,

I just noticed that they have taken any mention of gluten off of their website--it used to state that their products were in fact gluten-free. I have an email out to see what is what--I suspect that nothing has changed and they are hesitant to claim gluten-free status because there is currently no legal definition of "gluten-free".

I'll keep you posted. B)

I received this email this morning--

Hello Patti,

Thank you for contacting us. The Tocopherol (Vitamin E) used in our Lip Balms and Glosses is derived from Soy. Other products that do contain the Tocopherol are the Everynight Minerals line, the Pressed Powders, and the Thymeless Concealer line.

All of our products are vegan based, free of carmine, nuts, lake dyes, fragrance, bismuth oxychloride and parabens. Our powders consist of: mica, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and iron oxides. Our finishing powders vary and some consist of rice powder, kaolin powder and zea mays (corn powder). All of these products should work well for you. But you may also want to check a gluten list of ingredients to avoid, since everyone's skin is different. And the Product Page does have a tab with the list of ingredients which you can use for reference for when you are making a purchase. : )

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you.

Cristy,

Everyday Minerals

Hmmm... So I'm new at this, this seems to mean they ARE gluten-free, but she won't actually say it?

I feel comfortable saying yes on this because I've been using this brand for a while now and really, I can't see where anything has changed. I've noticed in the past few months, especially, companies who used to declare products gluten-free have changed their language.

I use their foundation, blush, eye shadows, and lip products and will continue to do so unless of course they begin adding gluten--which I doubt.

Just another good reason in general to re-check ingredients/manufacturing practices from time to time since they can change. ;)

I know I have to make for sure any lotions, shampoo, and handwash are gluten-free because I still have the very bad habit of biting my nails....So my hands are always in my mouth :P

Gluten cannot be abosrbed through the skin. It has to be ingested and enter your stomach and intestine for it to do any damage. Therefore the only costmetics you need to perhaps avoid is some lipsticks that contain wheat. Also shampoo with wheat that you may swallow.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Try adding some Thiamine Hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) and see if there's any difference. Thiamine HCl uses special thiamine transporters to get inside cells. I take it myself. Tryptophan will help heal the intestines. Tryptophan is that amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. I take mine with magnesium before bedtime...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I live in the upper mid-west and was just diagnosed with marsh 3c celiac less than a month ago. As a 51 year old male, I now take a couple of different gluten free vitamins. I have not noticed any reaction to either of these items. Both were purchased from Amazon. 1. Nature Made Multivitamin For Him with No Iron 2. Gade Nutrition Organic Quercetin...

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +
