    *Article updated on 09/11/2022: The source link used at the start of this article includes as list which indicates that Burt's Bees lip balms are gluten-free, and we've not heard any negative reports otherwise, however Burt's Bees has this in their site's FAQ regarding gluten:

    • "We cannot provide a list of Burt's Bees products that are safe for use with your allergy because our products may have been manufactured on a shared line with products containing gluten, or raw materials used in our products may have been processed in a facility that also processes products containing gluten.

      Therefore, we are unable to state that any Burt's Bees products are "gluten-free." Several of our products are known to contain certain allergens, because raw materials that contain or are made from the allergen are intentional ingredients in those products.

      Please carefully review the ingredient list of any product prior to use, particularly because the listed ingredients for a product may change. If you have a known allergy to gluten, you should always consult with your physician if you have questions regarding whether it is safe for you to use a particular product."

    This information needs to be revisited and double checked.

    Burt's Bees - most flavors have tocopherol (in your avoid list) as an ingredient.

    "We cannot provide a list of Burt's Bees products that are safe for use with your allergy [gluten] because our products may have been manufactured on a shared line with products containing gluten, or raw materials used in our products may have been processed in a facility that also processes products containing gluten.

    Blistex has over 25 lip products and many contain tocopherols or vitamin E.

    L'Oreal Color Endure lip products are discontinued.

    Several Smashbox lip products have tocopherols.

    Etc.

    While Blistex does not say "Gluten-Free" on its label, and the company may make CYA statements like this, there are zero gluten ingredients in Blistex, thus it is naturally gluten-free:
