Gluten can hide in many places, and when you have Celiac Disease the last thing you want to worry about is getting glutened from non-food substances. A tricky hiding place for gluten is within cosmetics. Not only are gluten ingredients disguised in hard to understand names, but there are very few companies who list the ingredients on their products or certify their products as gluten free. According to the Gastroenterology Center of Connecticut common makeup ingredients that contain gluten are Triticum Vulgare (wheat bran), Secale Cereale (rye seed extract), Hordeum Vulgare (barley), and Avena Sativa (oat bran). That said, if your makeup offers an ingredient list look out for these gluten filled red flags. Now I know that people have their favorite makeup brands, and I am not saying you need to ditch all of favorite products because they are not gluten free, but you do need to be careful. If your favorite makeup is not gluten free, and you apply it with your hands, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly. When you have Celiac or a gluten intolerance, the most important makeup products in your bag that have to be gluten free are your lip products. Below I am going to display a list of gluten free makeup brands and lip products that are safe for individuals with Celiac or a gluten intolerance to use.

I am sure there are more lip products and cosmetic brands out there that are gluten free, but based on my research, those listed above are among the safest. Within this list are products for every budget and occasion. It’s sad to say, but fall and winter are quickly approaching, so be sure to take good care of your lips.
