Tocopherol In Makeup

I use Chanel products. I had spoken with them and they sent me a long list of products that are gluten free. I've also seen other posts from people on this site who have contacted them and said specifically that their lip glosses (what I primarily use) are gluten free.

However, I just read another post about tocopherol being a gluten-containing ingredient. I looked at some of the specific product information that Chanel sent me, and many of the items contain tocopherol.

What is tocopherol??? Is it gluten free?

:unsure:

Tocopherols are a class of organic chemicals that are usually rich in vitamin E, a natural preservative. They can be derived from a number of sources. The most common is soybean oil, although wheat germ oil can also be used. Tocopherols are highly refined extracts from refined oils, and are gluten-free.

The Canadian Celiac Association lists tocopherols as a safe ingredient in food, without exception. If it is okay to eat it, it ought to be okay to have it in your cosmetics. ;)

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      In the USA we also do a fruit cake that probably has UK origins, and my grandmother's always had lots of rum in it. I just found these:
