Burt's Bees Lip Balm

I just called the Burt's Bees customer service at 1-888-308-0130 to ask if their Honey Lip Balm is gluten free and the customer service agent said "Yes it is gluten free". I then asked her the source of the tocopherol and she said "It is derived from corn". I don't have any issues with corn. Is it safe to believe what these customer service agents say? I can believe her right? Should I continue using the lip balm?

I called Burt's Bees about their Lip Shimmers last week because I was having a reaction to something and the lipstick was the only thing new I had added. The representative said that she could not say they were gluten free. I asked her in several different ways and at the end of the conversation she said again, "We cannot say that any of our products are gluten free!". I read elsewhere on here that other people were told differently though. Has anyone else had a reaction to Burt's Bees lip products?

I called Burt's Bees tonight and they also told me that they no longer claim any of their products to be gluten free.

I may be wrong, but I believe that I have heard that B's B was sold and under a new company. That might explain the new CYA statement.

It does list soybean oil and canola oil, which some people may be sensitive to.

They still list all the ingredients very clearly on the ingredient listing. I have no issue with their lip balm.

hummm....you never know what it might attract? B) It really has no scent, they have plain balms as well. Ingredients are clearly listed in "real" words.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
