All Natural Gluten Free Make Up

I was recently diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity.  I never would have even thought to look for gluten free make up or even thought of make up as containing gluten.  Someone told me she hasn't been even able to have make up in her house because of her son's strong sensitivity to gluten.  Anyone else hear of this or have this problem?

I think if you use the google function at the top right of the forum, you will find a lot of make-up suggestions.  Watch dates on the posts - some could be years old.

 

Makeup, shampoos, etc doesn't not need to be gluten free with the exception of anything that you might ingest - lipstick, shampoo for some of us messy ones, etc.  Gluten must be ingested to cause a Celiac reaction.

I use Bare Minerals makeup.  Almost all of their products are gluten-free (you can check their website).  I don't wear lipstick and I don't worry about mascara being gluten free because I'm not likely to eat it.  I like that the mineral makeup is gluten free though because it is powdery and gets in the air.  I'm sure a little bit of it is inhaled and possibly swallowed.

 

Some people do also have a topical reaction to gluten, but that is a separate thing from Celiac.  (you can have either, neither, or both)

I rarely wear makeup, like once or twice a year.  But when I do I use the Bare Minerals makeup, the ones I use are gluten-free since it is all powdery and definitely gets in my mouth.  Lipstick I always read ingredients on to make sure it is gluten-free and sometimes the label isn't visible in the store or under the shrinkwrap... but right now I have a cheapo NYC lipstick that has no gluten ingredients.  If you sleep in your makeup (which you aren't supposed to do but a lot of people still do), it should probably all be gluten-free since you are rubbing it all over your face in your sleep. But like Karen said, you just have to think about the chances of it getting into your mouth and how comfortable you feel.

Ooh this is my area! I run a natural beauty blog and will be sure to actively seek out totally gluten free products but I can recommend: Red Apple Lipstick, Josh Rosebrook products, Acure Organics, Lauren Brooke cosmetiques, W3LL People, RMS Beauty, ILIA beauty. 

 

You want to seek out PURE ingredients that are recognizable. Try going to Skin Deep, run by the EWG to see the purity of various  brands.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many major brands of distilled vinegar in the USA, including Heinz white vinegar, are typically made from corn. In the United States, corn is a common and cost-effective raw material used in the production of distilled white vinegar. The process involves fermenting the sugars derived from corn into alcohol, which is then further fermented into acetic acid to produce vinegar. Distillation follows, which purifies the liquid and removes impurities, including any residual proteins or allergens. While the source of the vinegar (e.g., corn) is not always explicitly stated on the label, corn-derived vinegar is widely used in the food industry due to its neutral flavor and affordability. For individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, distilled vinegar made from corn is generally considered safe, as the distillation process effectively removes gluten proteins. However, if you have concerns about cross-contamination or specific sensitivities, it’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the sourcing and production practices. Heinz, for example, has stated that their distilled white vinegar is gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease, but verifying this information can provide additional peace of mind. The belief that distilled vinegar is gluten-free is rooted in the scientific understanding that gluten proteins, which are large and complex molecules, are generally too big to pass through the distillation process. Distillation involves heating a liquid to create vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid form, leaving behind larger molecules like gluten proteins. However, the concern about cross-contamination arises from the possibility that gluten-containing ingredients may have been present in the liquid prior to distillation. While the distillation process itself is highly effective at removing gluten, the equipment used in production could potentially introduce trace amounts of gluten if not thoroughly cleaned between batches. For most individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, distilled vinegar is considered safe because the gluten content, if any, is typically below the threshold that would trigger a reaction. However, for those with extreme gluten intolerance or celiac disease, even trace amounts can cause adverse effects. This is why some individuals, like yourself, may choose to avoid commercially produced distilled vinegar and opt for alternatives like apple cider vinegar, which can be verified as gluten-free. The meticulous process of researching ingredients and preparing homemade products, such as ketchup, is indeed challenging but crucial for maintaining health and avoiding gluten exposure. It’s important to note that regulatory standards for gluten-free labeling vary by region, and in many places, products labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for the vast majority of people with celiac disease. Nonetheless, individual sensitivity levels can vary, and your approach highlights the importance of personalized dietary management for those with severe gluten intolerance.

      Testing for celiac

      By Bebee · Posted

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.
