Gluten-free Savonnerie

Hi Everyone - I was thinking about ordering some shampoo and such from the gluten-free Savonnerie. Has anyone used their products? If so, would you recommend them? I've been using California Baby, which I really like, but I also really like trying new stuff B) ...I don't want to order it though if it's not all that great...

Hi Mango--I've been using their stuff for a few months now. I am very happy with them. I use the shampoo, conditioner, lotion and premium bar soap. They are coming out with a hair styling spray--they're sending me a sample to try and give my opinion. The products have no scent at all--which I like. You need to use a lot of water with the shampoo--once you do, it lathers well. The shipping on a whole order (I'm in NJ) is 3.99--and I usually get it the next day if I order in the AM. I don't think the prices are bad, either--I used to spend more on the salon-type products I used.

We just started ordering a few weeks ago. We have the soap(bar and liquid) and the lotion. The lotion, in particular, was a godsend. I was desperate for lotion that was safe and didn't have a scent. My husband has terrible allergies and can't take things with scent. I am caring for little ones with celiac and my hands need to be gluten-free, so the lotion was a great match for us. I used the bar soap this morning and loved it! My husband even commented on enjoying the new soap, so it MUST be good! :)

It sounds like good stuff. I think I'll order some. :)

I really like the bar soaps - don't dry my skin like some of the other natural bars. I think the lotion is nice - a little too much for my face, but good elsewhere. No scent at all, either. Decent prices, too.

Another happy customer here. I use the shampoo, conditioner, lotion, bar soaps and the liquid castile soap. My mom washed her hands at my house a few weeks ago with the liquid soap and loved it...she even asked me where I got it. I love the bar soaps...before this I used Cetaphil, I like these much better. I use the classic or premium bars. I've tried California Baby, and I like it too, but I think I like the GFS shampoo and conditioner a bit better. You can't beat their customer service...a very pleasant experience.

Mark the president of the co talked to me on the phone when i told him about my dried out hair problems.

He sent a a product free to try to see if it helped and wanted feed back.

It's an awesome company and the products last longer than others.

I don't like useing a bar soap personally so got the 9 oz liquid foaming soap and use in the shower.

LOVE THIS PRODUCT AND THE COMPANY.

Looking forward to testing to hair styling spray too. :lol:

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
