Gluten Free Skin/hair Care, Etc.

Hi everyone,

 

I just wanted to share a few great companies I've found recently that I'm really excited about. They all sell organic, gluten free, cruelty free, and vegan products.

 

They all have sites you can order from online...and I've found some products in stores as well. I'm hoping this information can help someone else as much as it's helped me! I am only including companies that I've personally bought/ordered from.

 

Dr. Bronner's:

 

I've used their hand sanitizer, lotions, lip balm, bar soap, liquid soap, hair rinse, and hair creme. Gluten free, cruelty free, organic, and fair trade. Their products are mostly vegan, except for a few products containing beeswax. Some products do contain non-GMO corn.

100% Pure:

 

This company uses fruit extract and natural oils, no synthetic dyes or chemicals. Because of this, their products only have a shelf life of about 6 months or so once opened (each product will have an open jar on it that will tell you how long it will last) Everything but their mascara is gluten free. (Their lip balms don't state that they are gluten free, but I sent an inquiry and they confirmed it was - they just haven't updated the label yet) I have used their nourishing body creams (strawberry and raspberry), their tinted fruit lip gloss, their eye pencil, and their forest scented hand wash. Apparently each order comes with free samples, but I was lucky enough to find their products in a nearby gluten free health food store so I haven't ordered from them online yet.

Face Naturals:

 

This company is probably my favorite. Their ingredients are so natural, that a lot of their products are edible. I put in an order recently, and it took me about 2 weeks to get it (they made all of the products fresh for me) and everything smelled amazing. I ordered the raspberry lime scrub (love it), a raspberry sherbet lip balm, "try me" sizes of the dead sea mineral mask and lavender healing cream, and the coconut chai moisturizing stick. They also threw in an orange crush lip balm for no charge. Everything smells fantastic, it really does smell edible. 

 

As an added bonus: They have a reward system in place. You start off with 50 reward points, and everything you order adds more reward points. You can use the reward points as cash...they don't expire...so you can save them up and use them on a bigger purchase.

Everything is gluten free (I sent an inquiry to check) and here was my response:

 

Hi Ashley, 

 
We do not use any gluten containing ingredients.  As much of our client base has sensitivities/allergies to the top five allergens (gluten, soy, wheat, corn, milk, etc) we have intentionally avoided their use in our formulations.  The only product you may choose to avoid if you have severe gluten allergy is the Oatmeal Honey Silk bar soap.  Our raw oats in the soap are organic, however, the processor for the oats does not specifically state they are certified gluten free or processed on separate equipment.  We have never had any comments regarding adverse reactions to this bar soap, but if you are severely allergic to gluten or oats, you may want to skip that one product. 
 

Healthy skin begins with a healthy body! Have a wonderful, healthy day!  :)

Again, hope this helps you guys! What are some of your favorite companies/brands for skin/hair care/other beauty products?

Thank you for that great information.  I have used 100 percent pure and i agree that they have wonderful products. Just be aware i was told that the only product in their line that contains gluten is the mascara.  Also, another great line to try is Pacifica their link is pacificaperfume.com  You can purchase some of their products at Target and Ulta! They have awesome smelling natural perfumes and  lotions.  They are coming out with lots of new products as well.

      I recently reviewed a patient with a positive tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody but negative endomysial antibodies (EMA). The patient is asymptomatic, and duodenal biopsies—taken while on a normal gluten-containing diet—were reported as normal. Given the discordant serology and absence of histological changes, I understand that the probability of coeliac disease is low. However, I would appreciate your guidance on the following: Is routine follow-up required in such a case? What is the risk of progression to overt coeliac disease in the future? Would HLA DQ2/DQ8 typing be useful here to help guide long-term management or exclude the diagnosis confidently? I would be grateful for your thoughts.

      @LynnM, when you say, "today, his numbers were high", what numbers do you refer to? Are you speaking of celiac antibody scores? Can you be more specific and can you post the test names, the numbers and the reference ranges for the tests? So, I am understanding you to say that topical exposure to gluten doesn't cause him GI reactions but ingestion of gluten does but at the same time you are attributing the "high numbers" to the topical exposure?

      So I recently had blood work and my hemoglobin, hematocrit, protein and alkaline phosphatase were all low. They have never been low in the past but since august of last year I have been on the in and off gluten rollercoaster as I mentioned in previous posts. Should I be concerned with these new findings? I am worried I have made myself really sick and done damage or something this past year

      Thank you Scott. My son doesn't have a reaction topically, only when ingested. Interestingly though, the doc told us the face cream getting gluten into his bloodstream doesn't do the damage akin to when gluten is ingested. He had no reaction when using the face cream, it only presented in blood-work. I'm hopeful from all the comments today and will wait for the GI doc to reply. If he is cleared to use it, I will encourage SHIELD to get a gluten-free certification

      It’s great that you’re taking the time to research products carefully for your son with celiac disease—especially since accidental gluten exposure through skincare can be a real concern for sensitive individuals. Based on the ingredient lists you’ve shared, none of the products appear to contain obvious sources of gluten like wheat, barley, or rye derivatives. Ingredients like glycerin and tocopherols (not listed here but often a concern) can sometimes be derived from wheat, but many manufacturers use plant-based or synthetic sources. SHIELD’s transparency and willingness to share their full ingredient list is a good sign, and their note about not intentionally adding gluten is reassuring. Still, because ingredient sourcing can vary and sensitivities differ from person to person, it’s wise that you’ve reached out to your GI specialist to be sure these products are safe for your son’s specific needs. In the meantime, if you do try any of the products, consider patch-testing them first and watching closely for any signs of skin irritation or reactions. PS - Most people with celiac disease won't react to skin products that may contain gluten, but I still recommend finding gluten-free products.
