GLUTEN FREE SKINCARE/MAKEUP?

Shanus — Fri, 03 Jan 2020 12:43:36 GMT

Is there such a thing & does it matter? I have a client who has celiac and she's requesting all gluten free products. Other than lipsticks which could be injested, would gluten affect her skin. She doesn't know.

Gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin.

@SilleeMee That's what I thought. Her concern was lip products. Any info on that? Are there gluten free lipsticks or she needs to ck. ingredients on each brand? Thank you.

I want to throw this out there. I have a daughter who is celiac. Understood that gluten in makeup cannot be absorbed and cause a celiac reaction however, if gluten causes irritation on the “inside” why would it not on the “outside”? My daughters eyes became inflamed from mascara that contained gluten. Her scalp was raw from shampoo and conditioner that contained gluten. Lotions caused a red topical reaction to her skin. So, no she did not have joint pain, stomach pain or diarrhea but she did definitely react. FYI-she is biopsy diagnosed at Mayo Clinic Rochester. Her GI doctor agreed she has seen this type of reaction in many patients.

If you are alergic to gluten, it makes sense not to use it topically either. The same thing with any ingredient you might be allergic to, like peanuts or strawberries. It's not about ingesting or absorbing it into the bloodstream, it's about your immune system reacting to it. The skin is an important part of your immune system.

As mentioned in that Mayo link I posted...if there are skin issues caused from using a topical product containing gluten, then that is not necessarily associated to celiac disease and might just be an allergy or sensitivity to it, unrelated to the celiac problem that might already exist or not.

I have no senstivities, but my favorite lipstick brand is gluten-free. I have many of them. They also have other makeup.

Red Apple Lipstick.

I should add that they have a no-questions-asked SIX MONTH return policy.

Tarte and Bare Minerals have made a big deal about being gluten free, so they could be good options.

@Shanus

Is she asking you to purchase for your work collection?

If so, would you need to store it separately to

prevent cross-contamination?

@Shanus
The best “free of everything” lipstick imo is by Coastal Classic Creations!
It is moisturizing and their colors are beautiful.
I need to confess that what tipped me off to a gluten problem was using a shampoo and conditioner with wheat ...I got sore bumps on my scalp!

@sidsmom No, she just received this diagnosis and still in the "overly cautious" stage. She'll purchase and bring her own makeup, brushes, lunch, etc.

I have celiac disease and was told to use gluten free skincare. It does get absorbed into the system, I uses an oatmeal scrub that had wheat and oats and I got really sick, same symptoms as when I eat gluten

Merle Norman has gluten free skincare and cosmetics.

I am a medically diagnosed Celiac. I knead bread dough and other products made with wheat and have never had a problem with it.

Of course, I can't injest it. I don't wear cosmetics, but it makes sense that if gluten touched any mucus membranes like your eyes, mouth or nose, it could cause symptoms and problems.

I would imagine it depends on how sensitive you are. My daughter becomes very ill (severe joint pain, headaches, canker sores in mucus membranes-to the point of being hospitalized) when exposed, while my ex-husband continues to eat gluten and drink beer and experiences only a mild upset stomach. Continuing to do that does increase his risk for intestinal cancer. Due to her intense reaction, my daughter would not be kneading dough for sure! She finds it best for her to have GF products.
