Biosilk Hair Products

[bluelotus]

Hi,

I should have known better - when I first began using Biosilk (clear bottle, black cap) about 6 months ago, I wasn't feeling much better while being gluten-free. Although this lead me (rightly) to believe that dairy and eggs were the culprits, I stopped using Biosilk just in case. There is nothing listed in the ingrediants that is outright suspicious, but all are chemical names. I then pulled out the bottle 2 days ago to email the company about their gluten content (still haven't heard) and got some on my fingers. I didn't wash my hands right away and that stuff is difficult to get off hands anyway. Later that night I got mildly ill and have since had gluten symptoms (may have gotten in my mouth somehow). Does anyone know if this product has gluten in it? Or has someone had similar experiences with them? My sickness may also have been a cross-contam issue as I live in a non-gluten-free household (but am very careful).

Any input is appreciated.

I use Biosilk, too. I'll contact the manufacturer and see if I can get some info.

I was using Biosilk too and contacted them a few weeks ago. The response was that "If our product contains gluten it will be stated as wheat in the ingrediants or under the name Triticum Vulgaris Gluten or Triticum Vulgaris Germ Oil". So on the most part...ya it's got gluten. I had to give up mine and still can't find a good hair care product.

Thanks for the update. They never got back with me. I am about to post some more info on hair products under a new topic, if you are interested.
