So I have had some reactions to makeup containing gluten lately so I have been doing tons of research on what gluten is listed as on makeup, lotions, body wash, etc. and I wanted to share the products that I have found in case anyone else is having trouble finding them or knowing what they are.
Here are our dupes for MAC Snow Globetrotter, which is a slightly cool-toned, light white with a frost finish. It is a limited edition eyeshadow that retails for $17.00 and contains 0.05 oz. This list makes it clear that gluten free makeup isn’t hard to find. Even if the answer to the question “Is MAC makeup gluten-free?” is a resounding no, there are plenty of high-quality gluten free makeup products for you to choose from. With every brand you try, you help make the world a greener place.

Out of the Mary Kay regular product line, only the Advanced Moisture Renewal Treatment Cream, MK Signature Concealers and Eye Primer, TimeWise Targeted Action Eye Revitalizer and Line Reducer, and Revitalizing Mask #2 contain glutens. The rest of the Mary Kay line is free of glutens.
I e-mailed Urban Decay and they told me to list every product that I own and they would confirm if it has gluten or not, I asked about all three naked palette's, the electric palette, vice palette (1&2), single eye shadows, primers, lipsticks, and the super saturated high gloss lip colors and lastly setting spray.
Their response was:
Products containing gluten:
tinted lip conditioner
amplified creme lipstick
day spf 15 light moisture
fast response eye cream
pre + prime skin
I have read on a gluten free blog that mac's paint pots are gluten free but tocopherol is one of the ingredients to I need to confirm that with mac.
Say Goodbye To Your Gluten Filled Makeup Bag
Do you really need to worry about health and beauty products such as shampoo and hair spray? How about mascara and eyeshadow? Do these products even contain wheat, barley, rye or oatmeal?
The simple answer is ‘yes’ most cosmetic products do contain some form of gluten and can cause symptoms, especially for people that are exquisitely sensitive or have the rash DH.
People with gluten intolerance, celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis ARE sensitive to gluten in their personal care products. Everything that is placed on your skin has the potential to enter in your bloodstream. Accidental ingestion can also happen if any gluten containing ingredients are on your skin, hands or around your mouth. Although you might not eat your eye shadow or mascara it does have the potential to get on your hands, and then into your mouth, eyes or nose.
The Gluten Free RN has set out on a mission to find gluten free beauty products. We have formed a list of companies that claim to have gluten free cosmetics and beauty products.
Please use this list of companies as a resource guide for finding products. With the following precautions in mind:
- We have not tested every product from every company and therefore cannot guarantee that every product is 100% free from gluten.
- Companies change formulas and ingredients in their products often. When ordering a product we recommend checking the ingredients, and emailing the company for verification.
- Everyone has different skin. While one product may work for me it might not work for you. We recommend testing products on your skin before purchasing them. Many companies will give away or sell samples that can be used as a tester before you decide to make a purchase.

Hello Sam,
Thank you for contacting us. The Tocopherol (Vitamin E) used in our Lip Balms and Glosses is derived from Soy. Other products that do contain the Tocopherol are the Pressed Powders. Our products are vegan based, free of carmine, nuts, lake dyes, fragrance, bismuth oxychloride and parabens. Our powders consist of: mica, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and iron oxides. Our finishing powders vary and some consist of kaolin powder.
All of these products should work well for you, but you may also want to check a gluten list of ingredients to avoid, since everyone’s skin is different. We do recommend doing a skin patch test when trying a new product to see if your skin is happy with the product. If your skin is sensitive to a product then wash your skin with water and discontinue use.
The Product Page does have a tab with the list of ingredients, which you can use for reference before making a purchase. Simply select the product of your choice and then select the Ingredients tab at the bottom of the page to view the ingredients for that product (there will also be a Details and Usage Tips tab).
Openemu for os x 10.10.5. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Are your products gluten free? If so, where does the Vitamin E come from?Most of our products are gluten free. We are sensitive to this since we know many people suffer from gluten allergies. One common ingredient that contains gluten is Vitamin E. But the Vitamin E we use is gluten free because it’s derived from cold pressing rice bran.
