Lip Smackers Or Other Chapstick

Does anyone know which brands of lip smackers or chapstick are gluten free? I'm looking for something with a very pale color or no color at all - it's for a child. Thanks.

I use Badger's lip balm. I find it health food stores, or at Whole Foods. I love it--it's very natural, and it doesn't have any color. I've also verified it to be gluten-free.

I have heard her that Lip Smackers have wheat germ oil in them but I have not verified that myself.

Burt's Beeswax makes some sparkly, colored lip balm that is gluten-free.

I also use Badger Balm. It comes either in a stick or a pot. They have some nice flavors, too. Cinnamon, lemon/ginger and a couple of others.

I called them and they told me they use no gluten there whatsoever.

I believe regular Chapstick is gluten free, as is Blistex. I generally use Bert's Bees Peppermint lip balm, myself.

I also use Burts Bees. Just their plain beeswax lip balm in the tube. Even before going gluten free I got hooked on this kind the first time I used it and nothing seems to work as well for me.

some of the chapstick flavors do contain gluten and some do not, I recommend calling the company and verifying for yourself. Personally I use Burt's Bees but mymom got my daughter one of the Disney Chapsticks and I did verify that flavor was gluten-free but I don't remember the other flavors that were.

I have been using Kiss My Face. The ingredients seem ok. Does anyone know if it is definitley gluten free?

Lip Rescue with Shea Butter, made by Desert Essence is really good. I have not called the company, but all ingredients look ok. I had a terrible time a few months ago with really, really, dry lips that nothing helped - until I tried this. I bought it at my local health food store and it is also available online.

      I have no specific recommendations but I would suggest looking for products that are advertised as produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility. That should eliminate one possible route of cross contamination. It doesn't guarantee that none of the ingredients going into the product are totally gluten free but is should eliminate adding more CC to the mix via processing machinery.  One of the issues you may be experiencing is that testing has shown that a significant percentage of "Certified Gluten Free" products can test far in excess of 10ppm. There was an article appearing in this forum back last summer outlining the results of testing that showed this to be true. So, it may be somewhat of a pig in a poke when you buy this stuff, regardless of how it is billed. It may be safe for you if it actually fits within the stated requirements of it's billing.

      I can still have a reaction from “certified gluten free” products I don’t like having to use the eat and see what my body does approach are there really any purely gluten free products or do I just have to make all of my own food?

      Thanks for following up with us on the results. This might be helpful to you now:

      Hi I just wanted to update you all and let you know that I finally have my diagnosis. 2 weeks ago I had my third gastroscopy and the biopsy confirmed the damage. Thank you for giving me the information I needed to advocate for myself when I a was a feeling so lost!
