ARE FREE OF:  (GLUTEN/TREE NUTS/PEAUTS/)


1)EVERYDAY MINERALS: http://www.everydayminerals.com/index.php

*above is there getaway plan kit : GET AWAY PLAN KIT Can be purchased here
This is the brand I went with , i started breaking out with Bareminerals, and when i contacted the company they said they couldnt give me a yes or a no and i called and emailed for days, they said that they couldnt be sure so they adivse i not use them , plus to let you know allot of there prodcuts are NOT gluten free...


This is the Email correspondence from them...

Hello JoAnna,

Thank you for contacting us. Our products are vegan based, free of carmine, nuts, lake dyes, fragrance, bismuth oxychloride and parabens. In our lip gloss, we use a mix of 95% blend of natural mixed tocopherols isolated from soybean oil and concentrated to contain naturally occurring d-alpha, d-beta, d-gamma and d-delta tocopherols.

You can always view the ingredients prior to making your purchase. :) Simply click on the product you are interested in, (scroll down) and the ingredient tab will appear at the bottom of the page. Once you click on the ingredient tab, you will see a complete ingredient listing there.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Cristy,

Everyday Minerals













ARE NOT 100% (or ones that are in a tree nut faucilty.)

Alima: so....
(I called them and they said they are GLUTEN.PEANUT.AND TREE NUT FREE), But then i wrote them and got this reponse, and they said they share a faucilty with other cosmetic companies so they can't be sure of coss-contamination..... :(

Simplify Yet Beautify.
That old adage that less is more is the secret to Alima Pure’s success. It sometimes seems that the beauty industry is all about more—more tan, more lashes, more sculpted, more products. But we found that cosmetics don’t need lots of ingredients that you can’t pronounce to bring your inner beauty to the surface. It’s not about what’s in our products; it’s about what’s not. Here’s a little secret we discovered along the way to becoming an international sensation:
Hi JoAnna,
Thank you for contacting Alima Pure. Our products do not contain nuts, peanuts or gluten. However, the facility is not a certified nut-free facility. Please let us know if there is anything additional that we can assist you with.

Have a lovely day!

Kind Regards,
Dea
Alima Pure Customer Care

 Of course to NOTE if u dont wish to do the raisin syrup ( this is done this way due to the facts is GAPS First Stage friendly  ) u can do honey or stevia or maple syrup or even raw sugar( of course is not gaps approved) if u wish

Fruit Syrup: (Organic soaked apricots would be lovely too I just don't have any right now or organic dates or Prunes would work too)
1 cup of Organic Soaked for (25 min or longer) Raisin (or your choice of preferred dried fruit)

1 Cup of Hot Filtered Water

add the raisin's and hot water in a food processor (or blender) and pulse until all is incorporated into a syrup like texture. Then Strain through a wire mesh trainer into a separate bowl. You want to make sure there are no floaters in your creamer :)
store in an airtight container in the fridge :0)

For the Creamer:
One can of Thai kitchen Coconut Milk (full fat not light) (or use your own homemade coconut milk extracted from dried organic raw coconut).
NOTE: Of course if u cant have Coconut or u wish to use some other Milk Sub , then Substitute it for the Coconut Milk. :)
1/4 Cup & 2 1/2 Tab of the Raisin Syrup (recipe above)
1 Tab of Pure Organic Vanilla Extract (sugar free or Homemade gluten free  , recipe coming soon).
Mix all together and put through a strainer to make a smooth Creamer :
