I am looking for gluten-free shampoo and conditioner that is not tested on animals. Does anyone know of any?

Hi--

I really like Shikai Everyday Shampoo and Conditioner.

These are gluten-free, plant based, no animal ingredients and no animal testing.

I won't use products anymore that are tested on animals :)

On another note, do you use gluten-free non-animal tested make-up, Patti?

I tend to use either shikai or one of trader joe's botanical ones.

(don't know about makeup - I don't wear it.)

I use Shi Kai...and for skin care I use MyChelle. (they don't do makeup however; but all their skincare products are gluten-free) Smashbox makes all gluten-free makeup, but it is only available in department stores (I live 90 miles from nearest source)...use it anyhow, though. Actually, I don't know if they do animal experiements or not...I don't think so...but I'll have to doublecheck. Check out My Chelle, though.

Alba Botanicals is not animal tested. You have to check the ingredients for gluten. I haven't got sick from their products. John Paul Mitchell is not animal tested, but some of his stuff has gluten in it. Kiss My Face has a list of their gluten-containing products and they are animal friendly.

Yes--I use Bare Escentuals, which is not tested on animals. I've used this line since long before I was diagnosed with Celiac.

No, I hadn't seen that site :)

I buy mine at either Whole Foods or Wegmans.

Not all of their products are gluten-free. If I remember correctly, the bath gels are not, and possibly some others. When I called the company, I was told that the hair products were all gluten-free.

Thank you, everyone!

Ck out leaping bunny: Open Original Shared Link This org investigates products and marks them with their logo if animals are not harmed, tested in production etc. There are some lists on this site of safe products. I use Aubrey Organics for shampoo, it has the leaping bunny...

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.
