Bee balm lipbalm not gluten free

Recommended Posts

I feel super ill from putting in the lip balm. It says their gluten free but I've found a lot of manufacturers do that. 

Can companies actually be honest if they aren't entirely sure

Welcome to the fourum, @Grace Good!

I cannot find any claims in the Amazon advertising for this company's products to the effect of it being gluten free. Yet, you state in your post that "it says their gluten free". What is "it"? Is there such a statement on the packaging?

If you mean this product:

It lists the ingredients below, and the only one that could have gluten would be the Vitamin E, and unfortunately their website does not indicate that it is gluten-free:

Ingredients

Beeswax - creates a protective barrier, retains moisture, and contains anti-inflammatory properties;

Propolis extract - protects skin from environmental stressors, soothes and promotes healthy skin cell regeneration;

Vitamin E (Tocopherol)- has strong antioxidant properties, neutralizing free radicals, moisturizing the skin, and effectively improving skin aging;


Other: liquid paraffin, mineral fat, Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene copolymer, Essence, Jojoba oil, CI15985, Honey Extract

To play it safe, use Vasoline Lip Therapy. No questions as to it containing gluten.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
