gluten-free Makeup

Hi Everyone,

I recently discovered that makeup was an issue when you have Celiac Disease, so after being extremely upset that I had to say good-bye to so many products I was using, I decided to go on a hunt and this is what I am now currently using.

Dr. Hauschka press powder, it is sold at Whole Foods, it is fairly expensive at $39.99 CDN, but the ingredients did not contain anything that seemed to be an issue and it's quite a good product.

ZuZu eye liner, it is also sold at Whole Foods, it has about 6 ingredients and I haven't had a problem with any off them, and none of them included gluten that I could see, but (as you all know) continue to check!

Smashbox High Definition foundation, it's really light and very nice to wear, great coverage! (Be aware of their mascara's, all I believe contain gluten, specifically through tocopheral acetate.

Nars eye shadows are gluten-free! I bought Silk Road, very nice!

Smashbox blush, Chiffon, also lovely!

Maybelline Great Lash Big Mascara is gluten-free, they use corn starch in stead of wheat starch, and it's cheap!

Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara for your eyebrows also didn't have anything in it.

I bought a set of 10 small Smashbox glosses that were gluten-free.

Burt's Bees lip shimmer/ honey lip balm.

I really hope this helps everyone get ideas!

I was wondering if anyone knew of an nail varnish, and remover that is gluten-free, all of my contain acetate! Which I recently read can be derived from wheat?

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm just looking for gluten-free lipstick, as I don't wear other makeup. I'm assuming Burts Bees lipgloss is ok, but then there's another thread that says that BB is not a gluten-free company and that they didn't give direct answers when they were questioned about the use of gluten in their products. Does anyone else know if BB lipsticks are ok?

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
