Celiac.com 09/23/2021 - Did you ever wonder what was in the powder that was used to make your makeup foundation? Could it, by chance, contain any wheat? After going gluten-free this “what if” mindset is very common, which is why everyone with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should find the peace of mind offered by EpiLynx by Dr. Liia: An entire line of gluten-free cosmetics, makeup and skin care products, and this includes their Luminous Stay-in-Place Matte Powder Foundation. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about their gluten-free foundation is that it's made with multiple nourishing elements that are designed to protect, hydrate, and detoxify your skin. In addition to being gluten-free, all of their products are also also allergen-free and vegan. Luminous Stay-in-Place Matte Powder Foundation will not only help you even out your skin's complexion and create a more balanced look, but, because it contains titanium dioxide and dimethicone, it will also help to protect your skin from the sun's harmful UV radiation. Many cosmetic companies couldn't tell you whether or not their products contain gluten, and in this case, not knowing is the same thing as not caring. EpiLynx by Dr. Liia is a company that not only cares about this, but has proven it by creating an entire line of high quality gluten-free, allergen-free, and vegan cosmetics, so that you can put your mind to rest when it comes to wearing makeup.

Celiac.com 06/25/2021 - It never ceases to amaze me just how many basic skin care products like lotions, cosmetics, and sunscreens contain gluten. Most people with celiac disease or dermatitis herpetiformis spend a lot of time and energy to stay 100% gluten-free, but some don't know that they are actually spreading it on their faces! This is why everyone with gluten sensitivity needs to know about EpiLynx by Dr. Liia, because their entire line of cosmetics and skin care products utilize only the finest gluten-free, allergen-free and vegan ingredients. It's Summer, and your sun screen should be gluten-free, which is why all celiacs should use EpiLynx Glow Sheer Intense Hydration Face, Neck, Decollete Cream SPF 30. It's designed to protect your skin against sun damage, and contains niacinamide to help rebuild healthy skin cells and protect them against the harmful and aging effects of the sun's ultraviolet rays. This formula is, according to Dr. Liia, “ultra hydrating, moisturizing, soothing, anti-inflammatory and calming.” EpiLynx by Dr. Liia Glow Sheer Intense Hydration Face, Neck, Decollete Cream also contains zinc oxide, hyaluronic acid, and apple stem cell extract, which are added to re-hydrate your skin for up to 48 hours after application, and help to restore its natural protective barrier, and sooth inflammation. Celiac.com highly recommends this sun screen, as well as EpiLynx by Dr. Liia's many other products, and you can read more of our EpiLynx by Dr. Liia product reviews here.

I'm always on the hunt for a good gluten-free sunscreen that I can wear on my face. I've come across one that looks like it could fit the bill, but I'm not quite clear if these ingredients are all gluten-free. Could with more expertise/experience than me mind taking a look at the ingredients below and let me know if they appear to be safe? Much appreciated! Water, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethanol, BG, isononyl isononanoate, methylenebisbenzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol, Na hyaluronate, Na acetylhyaluronate (super hyaluronic acid), hydrolyzed collagen, arginine (amino acid), Someiyoshino leaf Extract, bilberry leaf extract, hexyl diethylaminohydroxybenzoyl benzoate, glycol dimethacrylate crosspolymer, bisethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyltriazine, polysilicone-13, PEG-40 stearate, bis PEG-18 methyl ether dimethylsilane, (Acrylates) / Alkyl acrylate (C10-30)) Crosspolymer, TEA, decylglucoside, polystyrene, polyvinyl alcohol, xanthan gum, EDTA-2Na, PG, phenoxyethanol -
Celiac.com 05/14/2020 - If you're like me and have celiac disease, discovering sources of hidden gluten in your diet is essential. Gluten can be in things you least expect, and I've discovered the hard way that this also includes in your makeup. Eliminating gluten in your cosmetics, lotions, hair care products, and basically anything you apply to your skin is crucial, especially for those with gluten sensitivity and/or dermatitis herpetiformis. This is why I made the switch to EpiLynx by Dr. Liia Cosmetics. Dr Liia Ramachandra, PharmD, PhD, founder of EpiLynx by Dr. Liia, has created an incredible line of gluten-free, all natural makeup and cosmetic products that are specifically designed for people who are gluten sensitive. The EpiLynx by Dr. Liia makeup line now includes gluten-free foundations in 25 different shades, so you can perfectly match your skin tone. For this review I tried the “02” shade, which is light-yellowish. The liquid foundation comes in a squirt top bottle and applying it could not be simpler—just spread it evenly on your face to give your skin a more uniform complexion, and cover any flaws or skin tone issues you might have. Besides being a great moisturizer, this gluten-free foundation also contains SPF 15 sunscreen, so it's really an all-in-one product that can save you time and money, as you won't need to apply sunscreen separately. As with all EpiLynx by Dr. Liia products that I've tried so far, I found their foundation to be another great product that I will use regularly, without having to worry about gluten issues. I wish all products were made this way! About EpiLynx by Dr. Liia: Epilynx was founded by Dr. Liia Ramachandra, PharmD, PhD, who founded the company after her struggle with gluten sensitivity.

Celiac.com 05/21/2020 - If your face is like mine—not perfect—you may need to use a makeup foundation from time to time. If you're gluten sensitive, or have celiac disease like I do, then I recommend EpiLynx by Dr. Liia Long Lasting Glowing Moisturizing Full Coverage Gluten-Free Foundations, as they are 100% gluten-free and made specifically for those who want to avoid any gluten in their cosmetics. With EpiLynx by Dr. Liia's huge line of 25 different shades of gluten-free foundations, you can dial in a color that is just right for your skin tone. During Winter I use a lighter shade #02, but in Summer, after I get a bit more sun, I need to use a darker shade—usually #03. Shade #13 is midway between their darkest shade #25, and their lightest #1 shade, and it's a nice light-brown shade whose color reminds me of coffee with cream. Even though it's darker than I normally use, for this review I tried it out and it gave my face a tan, healthier look that surprised me because of how natural it appeared. The foundation comes in a handy pump bottle so application is a breeze, just pump a small amount on your fingers and spread if over your face evenly to give your skin a perfect looking complexion that is free of flaws. EpiLynx by Dr. Liia foundations contain SPF 15 sun block and are enriched with Vitamin E, and like all of their products, they are made using all natural and gluten-free ingredients. If your goal is to eliminate any possible sources of gluten, including those that touch your skin, and to use high quality cosmetics that contain the very best ingredients, be sure to check out EpiLynx by Dr. Liia and their vast line of outstanding gluten-free products.
