Question 1

Are these balms gluten free?

Accepted Answer

Hi there! Thank you for your question. We take very seriously our obligation to produce only safe, high quality and environmentally responsible products. The ingredients used in our products are safe and have been developed, manufactured and packaged in compliance with the strict guidelines and regulations set by each country in which they are sold. Gluten in cosmetics is a common concern among consumers who suffer from gluten sensitivity. Gluten is a protein composite found in wheat and related grains, including barley, rye, and spelt. It is known to cause adverse health problems in those who suffer from celiac disease. In 2009, research showed between 0.5 and 1.0 percent of people in the US and UK are sensitive to gluten due to celiac disease. There is currently no scientific evidence that gluten used in cosmetic products that are not ingested is harmful to individuals with celiac disease, including those with the skin form of celiac disease. Patients with celiac disease are often advised to avoid cosmetic products that are likely to be ingested, such as lipstick and lip gloss, if these contain ingredients like wheat germ or barley extract. However, up until recently the actual content of gluten in lipstick and other cosmetic products made using ingredients derived from wheat, barley, or rye had not been investigated. In 2012, the US Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics published a study under the heading "Gluten in Cosmetics: Is There a Reason for Concern?" that reportedly found no quantifiable gluten in lip products and lotions, each containing at least one ingredient derived from wheat, barley, rye or oats. Based on the results, the authors concluded that there is no apparent reason for consumers with celiac disease to worry about cosmetic products applied to the skin, such as body lotion, sunscreen, shaving cream, deodorant, makeup and perfume, especially if hands are washed after use. For your convenience, we have provided the full ingredient list for the product: Polybutene, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Octyldodecanol, Polyethylene, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin), Dicalcium Phosphate, Cera Microcristallina/Microcrystalline Wax/Cire Microcrystalline, Synthetic Wax, Stearalkonium Bentonite, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Propylene Carbonate, Punica Granatum Extract, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate, Mica, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Silica, Tin Oxide, [May Contain/Peut Contenir/+/-: Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Red 7 Lake (CI 15850), Yellow 5 Lake (CI 19140), Red 28 Lake (CI 45410), Red 6 (CI 15850), Blue 1 Lake (CI 42090)].

Question 2

How does this compare to the Dr. Rescue lip balm?

Accepted Answer

Hi there! Thank you for your question. Since Dr. Rescue is not one of our Coty Inc brands, we are unable to speak on their products. However, we can share that our CoverGirl Clean Fresh Tinted Lip Balm is a vegan lip balm that contains nourishing, moisturizing ingredients such as apricot kernel oil, shea butter, mango seed butters, and vitamin C. The lightweight tinted lip balm leaves your lips feeling moisturized without being sticky or greasy, while providing some subtle color. We hope you give it a try! If you have any additional questions on this product, we invite you to reach out to our team at 1-800-426-8374. It would be our pleasure to assist you!
