Thanks everyone for your comments and recommendations on GF lip balm with SPF!
A few of you mentioned that the vitamin E in lip balms often comes from soy and one person recommended checking www.gfcfdiet.com for safe products.
Here are the brands/products that should be gluten free (as always, you might want to contact the company to confirm):
Burt's Bees, Natural Chapstick, Juice Beauty tinted balm trio with SPF15 (note - I contacted Juice Beauty and they won't guarantee it's GF, however a very sensitive listserv member reported no problems when using it), Lip Balm from www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com, Neutrogena's lip balm in the tube and Lip Boost, Quantum Super Lysine Plus Coldstick (800) 448-1448, Sunright lip balm SPF15 (the vitamin E is from soy) www.executive-concepts.com, All Terrain Lip Armor (don't know source of vitamin E).
I've included responses I received from Badger and Blistex below.

Hello Alex,
Thanks for taking the time to write us! Rest assured that Badger products do not contain gluten, nor do they come in contact with any gluten, so there is no concern of cross-contamination.
Have a great weekend,
