Cover Girl Lashblast Synthetic Vit E?

Because I am addicted to Cover Girl's lashblast mascara I called CoverGirl to find out IF THIS mascara was gluten/wheat free. I was told that it was gluten free as were most of their products. I asked where the vitamin E came from (wheat germ,) and the CSR said that it would say on the label if it were derived from wheat, barley, oats, etc and that this lashblast mascara was synthetic made.

I looked on the label and it doesn't really say. SO, is it or isn't it gluten free? I guess I still don't know enough about deciphering labels and am becoming distrustful of companies.

So, they told you that the label would mention the gluten grain if it was present. You didn't see the grain named on the label. They told you the source of the tocopherol (Vitamin E) was synthetic.

I guess I don't understand just what it is that you don't understand.

For myself, I don't worry about mascara. It doesn't get in my mouth or on my fingers so that it could get on my food.

Gluten can enter the system through any mucous membranes. Some are more sensitive than others and do try to avoid toiletries even if they are not eaten.

To the OP I am a sensitive and I would use this mascara with no gluten concerns. I usually use Maybelline, the one in the pink tube, that is safe for us also.

Sorry, I was just frustrated. I've been calling manufacturers FOR DAYS ( I know, get used to it.) She first said there was, then there wasn't because it was synthetic. Thank you for taking the time to respond to this post. I really appreciate it. Sorry I'm losing it.

No need to apologize it is daunting at first. Many of us have shared your frustration.

If a company states that they will disclose any gluten used in ingredients, and you don't see it listed I would consider the product safe. For a cosmetic company, I'm actually impressed with their answer to you. I also understand how confusing this all can be at first ;)

Recently I tried Loreal Million Lash Mascara--it's the best I've ever used! I've tried drugstore and department store brands and they always seemed to clump and either go on too wet or too dry.

This is perfect--no gluten ingredients on the label.

GTK!! I'm almost out of my Lash Stiletto (which is also awesome) so maybe I'll try that next!! Does it smudge? Need some good stuff for Hawaii :)

Rash--this stuff is great. I've only been using it for a couple weeks but no smudging in that time. I love how it goes on--very evenly and really does seem to coat all the little lashes so they look full.

I hate it when mascara is too wet B)

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
