For those diagnosed with celiac disease, there is a lot of information out there on what foods are safe or unsafe to eat. But there are a whole host of products which are not food that we unintentionally ingest: lipstick, handcream, toothpaste, and even postage stamp glue. Unfortunately even the tiniest amount of gluten can hurt a person who has celiac disease, so it’s important to check the ingredients of every product that can make its way into your mouth. Most forms of the ubiquitous beauty ingredient Vitamin E (tocopherol), for example, come from wheat.

The good news is that there are more and more gluten-free nonfood products. Here’s a rundown of some lip cosmetics which are safe for the female or drag queen celiac in your life. You can always contact these companies for more information—check out our list of contact information below.
