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.

      Well, that's a big question. When he was seeing the nutrition response testing dr. that changed each time we went in. He hasn't been seeing him regularly for theist ten months. When he had a horribly week in March I started him back on the 4 that were suggested to keep him on. Those are: Standard Process Chlorophyll Complex gluten-free, SP A-F Betafood gluten-free, SP Tuna Omega-3 Oil gluten-free, And Advanced Amino Formula. He also takes a one a day from a company called Forvia (multivitamin and mineral) and Probiotic . Recently he had to start Vitamin D as well as he was deficient.

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      Welcome to the forum, @Nacina, What supplements is your son taking?
    • knitty kitty
      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D?

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B
