Shaving Lotions

After reading about risks associated with ingestion of products like soap after washing I was wondering whether shaving ootions had been looked at here. I am fairly new and this might have occurred long ago. Anyhow, for what it's worth, I think that gluten in shaving lotions would be pretty troublesome on account of the possibility of cutting, chafing or weakening the skin surface through shaving.

I use Edge, made by SCJohnson. I contacted their site, found the safety sheet. It dealt with safety, mostly concerned with how the material is packaged or how to deal with problems if you get it in your eye. Fair enough. But there was nothing there to say whetherer or not gluten was used in fragrances, colorings or maybe to control viscosity.

Does anyone here know? Thanks.

All of Colgate shaving creams are gluten free

I know alot of the Skintimate shaving gels(made by the same company as Edge) for women are gluten free but do not know about the Edge products.

However I just contacted them about them and should be getting a response fairly soon. I will post it when I receive it.

Until then there may be someone on here that may know about Edge products

Sice my initial contact this morning with the SCJohnson corporation they have indicated they are investigating the particular aspects of my concers "Thank you for your recent email. Due to the nature of your concerns, I have forwarded your email to our Product Safety Group for their response. Someone should be responding to you shortly."

I'll let you know when I get hear from them.

Just got a real response:

All SC Johnson products are extensively evaluated for toxicity and safety. We are a family owned company that takes pride in producing the best products at the best value for our consumers. Celiac Disease is a lifelong digestive disorder found in individuals who are genetically susceptible. Damage to the mucosal surface of the intestine is caused by an immunologically toxic reaction to the ingestion of gluten.

Yes, KaitiUSA! I got the same response. It was prompt, I am glad to say. And I've found their products good, which I why I use Edge. But, it would seem that this is another product for celiacs to be careful about.

I am glad I brought up the issue here. Cuts, as occur with shaving, would seem to be a likely cause for gluten entry into the body.

I am doubly glad about checking on EDGE shaving lotion. On going carefully over my records I did nick myself on the day that began this bout with stomach upsets. Instead of ascribing the cause to Coffee Mate, as I had done on the basis that it does affect a few people, I am now believing that the more likely cause was the EDGE saving material etering the bloodstream through the small facial cut. No, it's not a proof but it does seem to ad up. I do not nick myself very often while shaving.

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
