Hello Gluten-Free Lipsticks and Chapsticks!

It's so good to hear that Bobbi Brown and Chanel lipsticks and makeup are gluten-free.  It's nice to know that these luxurious brands understand those with allergies.  Lancomb is also gluten-free and so is Mac.

Other brands that are gluten-free are as follows:

Avon (some)
Neutrogena (all products) (in specific Instant Lip Remedy, Lip Boost Intense Moisture Lipstick SPF 20, Lip Boost Intense Moisture Therapy, Lip Moisturizer SPF 15, Lip Nutrition-All, Moisture Shine Lip Gloss, Overnight Lip Therapy)

Arbonne
Smashbox (found at Sephora)
Dior
Estee Lauder (with the exception of the Hydra Lustre Lipstick which does contain soy, wheat and corn)
Revlon Color Stay
Loreal Colour Endure
Maybelline (some)
Stilla (some)
Prescriptives (some)

Here are some tricky ingredients that have hidden gluten and or wheat:

Hydrolyzed Malt Extract
Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein
Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein
Wheat Germ
vitamin E
Cyclodextrim
Barley Extract
Fermented Grain Extract
Oat (Avena Sativa)
Stearyldimoniumhydroxypropyl
Samino Peptide Complex
Phytosphingosine Extract
Triticum Vulgare
Dextrin
Dextrin Palmitate
Maltodextrin (if not corn based)
Secale Cerale
Sodium C8-16 Isoalkylsuccinyl Wheat Protein Sulfonate
Yeast Extract
Anything with Wheat name in it

Ingredients that contain Barley:

Amino Peptide Complex
Barley Extract
Hordeum Vulgare (barley extract)
Phytosphingosine Extract

It is possible to ingest your lipstick, which is why it is so important to wear gluten-free lipstick. 

Gluten-Free Chapstick Brands:

Chapstick  (Chapstick Lip Balm Cherry, Chapstick Lip Balm Medicated Stick, Chapstick Lip Balm Mint, Chapstick Lip Balm Regular, Chapstick Lip Balm Strawberry, Chapstick Lip Moisturizer SPF-15, Chapstick Lip Moisturizer SPF-15) (however they do not test their finished product, so some gluten may be added in-use your judgement)
Carmax
Burt's Bee's (all)
Blistex
Badger Balm
Cortibalm

Hope this helps when you want to feel and look glamourous!

xoxo Julie

  1. Thank you so much! I"m just making the transition to a Gluten-free life and I would have never thought about my makeup. Luckily, I wear Chanel!

  2. Hi Amy, It's really just the lipstick that you need to be concerned with, because you lick your lips and end up digesting some of the makeup-thus digesting gluten.

    Good luck on your GF journey!

  4. philosophy has some gf products, and I've just written to them as well as Prescriptives for updated listings. I've been gf-food & beverage since summer '11 and now wrapping in all products that come in skin contact...experienced symptoms, and research/advice tells that the body, with its integrated immune system, can react to gluten from any source. Anyway, wanted to say thanks for your great work on this! Love the entire blog! Will share any updates I hear back about from cosmetic companies....
