Burts Bees Lip Products

I've been trying to find a gluten free lipstick for my daughter. I read an old post on here that had a list of Burt's Bees products that are gluten free. I spoke with a customer service rep at Burt's Bees today to confirm that their Lip Shimmer product was gluten free. She told me that they will not guarantee that ANY of their lip products are gluten free because they cannot guarantee that their suppliers are not using gluten. I'm glad I called before letting my daughter use this product!

Burt's Bees is under new ownership.

That said, the "we cannot guarantee" disclaimer is fast becoming universal because, like it or not, it is the truth. All of these manufacturers buy ingredients from outside sources and none of them are willing to accept legal liability for a possible error by a supplier.

Unfortunately, things have changed at Burt's Bees. They used to be very gluten aware and had great customer service.

Although pricy, I use Afterglow lip products. All gluten-free and even made in a gluten-free facility.

Yikes! I've been using their lip products for some time now...sounds like I need to throw them out? If they can't be more clear about whether or not there is gluten in these products, I don't trust them. But it seems like there are a lot of threads about BB and they have conflicting opinions as to whether the lip products are safe or not. However, just about all the products reviewed in the forums have many different opinions as to whether they are safe.

      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      By trents · Posted

      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?

      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!
