All Nars Cosmetic Products Are Gluten Free

I thought I would share this with the forum. I have been gluten free for over a year now and finally am giving up my gluten filled make up. Now, for many Celiacs I know that they do not worry about their makeup being processed in a gluten free facility. However, for me, this was very important. Therefore, I am sucking it up and paying out... because I am worth it! :)

I called NARS Cosmetics yesterday and was assured that all of there products are gluten free minus two makeup products which contained corn gluten (so not an issue for Celiacs). Then, after that I compared their products with Afterglow Cosmetics. They looked like a great company too, and stated 100% gluten free on their website. However, I did not want to deal with purchasing online and not seeing the colors, etc. So, I read more into it and called NARS back today. I was armed this time with questions from my Celiac Support Group to ask them.

The Customer Service at NARS, 1-888-788-6277, was very helpful and extremely knowledgable. She was familiar with product ingredients and their derivitives. I asked her to send me a letter explaining what she expressed over the phone. One, that all NARS products were free of gluten (wheat, barley, rye, oats). Two, that all NARS products were produced in a gluten (wheat, barley, rye, oats) free facility. And, three stating where their Vitamin E (Tocopherel Acetate?) was derived from. She let me know that this would be processed through their PR department and sent to me in a couple days. So, as soon as I receive the official letter I will post it here. Yay NARS!!!!

Cool! Good to know. The Lancome makeup line and several of their lipsticks are also Gluten Free. They are also very helpful and will email you a list. Some of their skin care and cleansing items are not gluten-free.

      ome value? Is that a typo? I don't see that on any of the test results you post and I've never heard of that one.

      Thanks for the update! It’s great that your GI is being thorough with the follow-up testing—hopefully the endoscopy will give you clearer answers. The EPI diagnosis is interesting; I’ve read that celiac can sometimes lead to pancreatic issues like EPI due to long-term malabsorption or autoimmune overlap. Have they mentioned if your EPI might improve with a gluten-free diet if celiac is confirmed? Wishing you smooth sailing with the endoscopy tomorrow—let us know how it goes.

      Hi again! I just wanted to update here that the GI redid my bloodwork and the ome value is still high so I'm having an endoscopy tomorrow. I also got diagnosed with EPI which seems to possibly be linked to celiac according to Google.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      Reishi and cordyceps are immune modulators, they stop you reacting so much/producing antibodies to lectins. Uptake is better when taken as a tincture, you can buy it pre made as a tincture, usually vodka based, or make your own which is much cheaper. You can find instructions online, basically powdered mushrooms soaked in strong alcohol for a month, shaking regularly. Then the strained mushrooms are heated gently in water for 8 hours, strained again and the water then combined with the first alcohol extract. Some of the properties are water soluble, others require alcohol for extraction. It’s also prescribed for fatigue which is a side effect I’m happy to put up with.

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      corn: It is the second most commonly genetically modified food on the planet (soy is #1) Genetic modification of foods continues to kill animals in scientific studies. It is an incomplete protein. It is difficult for humans to digest (ever see corn in your stool?) It is high in calories and low in nutrient value It is a new food to the human genome. It is being used as a staple food for our cattle, fish, chicken, and cars. Cows and fish are not designed to eat grain. (Have you ever seen a fish jump out of a lake into a corn field for supper?) When animals eat corn as a staple they have shorter life spans. Corn fed beef is linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Grass fed beef is not. Fructose derived from corn is toxic to the liver and contributes to severe health issues. Corn syrup has mercury in it. The list can go on and on and on… Many consumers bow to the alter of “Gluten Free” packaged foods as if the label is a safety net. “Gluten Free” on the package does not mean that the food is healthy. Do not deny yourself the God given right to be healthy.
