Anyone know when MAC reformulated their lipsticks to contain soybean seed extract?

[Winthrop44]

I just found out I'm soy allergic and want to avoid this but in looking at older ingredient lists I don't see it (or alumina, for that matter). I'd love to know which of my lipsticks might be the older formula without soybean seed extract. If anyone does know, what should I look for in the batch number on the tube? TIA!

Not sure...But I would certainly email the company to find out for sure

[Winthrop44]

Thanks Tish, I've done that...it's just that I'm really curious and they usually take awhile to answer questions like that. Maybe I'll give them a call on Tuesday.

[TISH1124]

yeah or Hop on MAC chat and see if they can find that info for you ...I think you can on the weekend...I think??

[Winthrop44]

Live Chat is unfortunately only M-F. But I've asked them ingredient questions before and they don't know. They give you the e-mail address & phone number for corporate.

Does soybean extract have gluten in it? Just found out I have Celiac disease and most soy products have a lot of wheat in it and is a big no-no. If you have any idea, please let me know. Thanks.

rbella -

Soybeans naturally contain no gluten, but gluten can be added during processing. I'd call MAC or email them to find out. Or I might call - if I do, I'll post what they tell me. I'm so glad you mentioned this! It would never even have occurred to me to worry about gluten in lip products, but my mom also can't have gluten, so now I know to be on the lookout for it before I buy or recommend any lip products for her!

[Winthrop44]

I would call MAC and ask them if there's any gluten in any of their lip products so you're sure of what you can and can't use.

[rbella]

Thanks guys! It is all very new to me. I have no clue about any of it!! I'll call as well.

I know what you mean rebella. Soy and gluten are tough because they're hidden in alot of things. Like with soy you need to avoid not only things that say soy but also textured vegetable protein, hydrolyzed vegetable starch and lecithin, and I know gluten is even more complicated!

[Meisje]

90% of frozen foods labelled "chicken" are very little chicken and a whole lot of soy (the textured vegetable protein). I really don't like how they're allowed to mislabel it that way --- I want chicken, not soy (I'm also allergic, to soy and most beans).

Do you think there would be a sufficient amount in lipstick to cause a reaction?

No idea, really. I'm figuring it's safer to just omit it. For me - I am weakly allergic - the plan is to eliminate and then reintroduce soy sometime down the line and see if I can tolerate it.

[Winthrop44]

Got my answer. Here are the relevant parts:

While a formulation may contain no wheat, oat, barley or rye derivatives, for the benefit of our gluten-sensitive consumers who may have cross-sensitivities, M.A.C takes the extra precaution of including corn, rice and soy in our research.

Amplified Crème Lipstick - contains barley extract, wheat germ extract and soybean extract. Lustre Lipstick contains ingredients derived fron Corn and Soy. Cremesheen lipsticks contain soybean and wheat germ. Glaze Lipstick - contains corn and soy. Frost Lipstick - contains corn and soy. Satin Lipstick contains ingredients derived from Corn and Soy. Matte Lipstick contains ingredients derived from corn.
