Dorothy's Original Skin Oil - Ingredients Question

HELP......I have used "Nivea Original Skin Oil" most of my life and never had a problem with it.  I just read the ingredients list  and I am not sure if they are Gluten Free.  I am relative new to this and feeling kind of lost.  Can anyone help me out with this?  I have googled the different ingredients but cannot make head or tails out of what I am reading.  Here are a list of the ingredients:  Mineral Oil, Water, Lanolin, Petrolatum, Lanolin Alcohol, Glyceryl, Dilaurate, Fragrance, Sodium Borate, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisoithiazolinone.  Any information on any of these ingredient would be extremely helpful.  Thanks so much!  Marlene

It looks to be gluten free, but I would worry about the last two ingredients! One in 10 are allergic to these relatively new preservatives. It is found in liquid cleaning supplies, laundry detergent shampoos, baby wipes and conditioners. I get a poison-ivy type rash! Ugh!

If you have any allergies at all, I would think twice. My reaction took a while to build up. Now, it happens fast and I suffer! I think that manufacturers have removed it from baby wipes. Not sure about make-up wipes.

Search the Internet for yourself. It can be found on legitimate sites (Pub Med, etc.).

If you like oil, coconut oil is nice. If you can eat it safely, it is fine for your skin. It absorbs in a few minutes and you will smell like the beach! Search this forum for other products others have safely used as well.

No gluten suspects there, but like cyclinglady said, there are a lot of high potential for allergy ingredients in there.  If you usually don't have any problems with personal care products, you are probably fine.  However, if you have random allergies to various products, I would use a small test spot first to see if it agrees with your skin.  For skin oil, coconut oil is great, one ingredient and glides on thin and absorbs just enough into dry skin.  I recommend that as well.

Thank you all so much for your replies.  I will keep a check to see if I react, and I will definitely check the new added ingredients and also check out the Coconut Oil.  This site is the best!!!!!  Thanks again :)

I "took the leap of faith" and have now been using Dorothy's Original Skin Oil for a little over a year. It's THE BEST MOISTURIZING LOTION I HAVE EVER USED (with the exception of Nivea Original Skin Oil). The ingredients ARE gluten free, I have not had any reactions at all, and it is the ONLY moisturizer that actually works. Because the main base is mineral oil it does NOT clogs pores and leaves my skin the softest ever - almost like a newborn baby's bottom LOL.  Really, it is a fantastic moisturizer for extremely dry skin without all the parabens and other chemicals that are in other lotions that I tried and had to throw out because of adverse reactions. I highly recommend this to anyone who struggles with the excessive dry skin that goes along with Celia Disease. It's also great for moisturizing after the sun!

      New painkiller, Journavx

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...

      Confused about my results

      Your situation is actually more common than many realize, and while confusing, there are logical explanations for your test results. The key points are that your biopsy showing villous blunting and increased lymphocytes does indicate intestinal damage typically seen in celiac disease, despite your negative blood tests. This phenomenon is known as seronegative...

      New painkiller, Journavx

      Hi all, I have to have gum surgery tomorrow and was wondering if I should ask for this new drug, Journavx, instead of Vicodin. I tried looking it up online and got, Not gluten free. There is no gluten in the ingredients for this drug. ???? Has anyone else had experience with Journavx? Advice? Many thanks, Charlotte

      Corn reaction and ataxia

      Hi Faye, Sorry I didn't see your post sooner. I suffered from ataxia as well. None of my drs. thought it was dairy. They were wrong. Turns out lactose intolerance was the cause. Pancreas just isn't making the enzymes like it used to. I now drink lactose free milk for the calcium and eat lactose free yogurt by Green Valley, when I can find it. My ataxia...

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests...

      Your situation is actually more common than many realize, and while confusing, there are logical explanations for your test results. The key points are that your biopsy showing villous blunting and increased lymphocytes does indicate intestinal damage typically seen in celiac disease, despite your negative blood tests. This phenomenon is known as seronegative celiac disease, which affects about 10% of celiac patients. Your partial HLA-DQ2 genetic result doesn't rule out celiac either, as a small percentage of celiac patients don't have the complete genetic markers. The fact that you've responded so dramatically to a gluten-free diet is another strong indicator that this is likely celiac disease rather than NCGS, since NCGS doesn't usually cause intestinal damage. Your doctor might consider ordering additional tests like IgG-based celiac tests (tTG-IgG or DGP-IgG), or repeating the endoscopy after you've been gluten-free for a longer period to check for healing. Many celiac specialists would actually diagnose you with celiac disease based on your biopsy results combined with your positive response to the gluten-free diet, regardless of the blood test results. It may be worth consulting with a gastroenterologist who specializes in celiac disease for further evaluation. Your experience highlights why celiac disease can be so challenging to diagnose and why doctors need to look at the whole clinical picture rather than relying on any single test.

The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
