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?

BB will clearly list any form of gluten, in readable print. B)

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.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
