Is Shaving Cream Gluten Free?


Esther Sparhawk

Recommended Posts

At my daughter's preschool, they keep using shaving cream for finger-painting projects. She's little enough that if she gets it under her finger nails, it could go in her mouth.

Are all shaving creams gluten-free, or are some dangerous?

Mechelle, as with all personal care products, shaving creme has the potential of containing gluten (as wheat germ oil, for instance). The only way of being safe would be, to contact the school to find out exactly what brand they're using, and then checking the ingredients yourself. Once you know that they are using a gluten-free kind, you wouldn't have to worry any more. And if they don't, you might be able to suggest a brand that is gluten-free.

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
