A Good Gf Facial Moisturizer?

Hi, all--I have super dry skin, and my neutrogena products just aren't cutting it. Can anyone recommend a nice facial moisturizer that is gluten-free (and hopefully not too expensive)?

Thanks for any help anyone may have!

I use Oil of Olay which I think is gluten-free..I certainly hope so!

I heard Clinique make up was gluten-free. they have a great moisturizer.

Not all of clinique makeup is gluten free they could not guarantee me and the stuff I had it had gluten in it so i threw it out. Oil of Olay may have gluten free products but they told me they purchase scents from outside suppliers so they could not guarantee me anything. I use Dove products...they will not hide wheat,rye,barley,or oats in their products so I like to use them.

Thanks for everyone's responses! My skin's been driving me crazy, so it's nice to know I have some options other than Neutrogena.

I also use Burt's Bees...The exact name is Beeswax Moisturizing Creme.

It comes in a 2 oz. jar, and is a tad pricey at about $10.00, but just a little bit goes a long way. It's light, yet very soothing and effective.

Hi everyone:

I may need some help here, I had never considered soaps, lotions, make-up etc. as being harmful and containing gluten. Is that true? that is just making me more confused.

Thanks

Well sure it can cause a problem.Things like lotion,soaps,shampoos, and makeup can accidentally be ingested in small amounts. Think about it when you put lotion containing gluten on your hands and then prepare food then traces are now on your food when you eat it. I had a bad reaction to lip balm a while ago. I thought it was ok then come to find out the vitamin e was derived from wheat. I didn't think of this at first but now every product I use is gluten free even things that probably will never even reach my mouth. I would just rather have that extra assurance. I would especially be concerned about lipsticks,soaps, and lotions. Also if you have a husband that is a celiac if he kisses your cheek or lips and you have gluten containing makeup in that could cause a problem. Alot of nailpolishes contain wheat starch in them too and thats something to watch out for.

Hi,

There are lots of gluten-free moisturizers out there - just gotta read those long long labels.....

Two very simple ones are Tropical Traditions - basically just coconut oil, wax and a few other ingredients that are not "scientific-y" sounding. The other is pure vaseline - not lotion by Vaseline, but actual petroleum jelly. A little goes a long way, and very few folks are allergic to it.

I've been using a department store lotion for the last year -love it - and it's gluten-free, but it's not exactly inexpensive :P

I have yet to find a product line that is exclusively gluten-free - I think they all have some products which contain gluten. Just gotta read those labels.

Btw - funny story - my 3 yr old ds now picks up products (at home, the store, anywhere) makes a big production out of "reading" the label and then announcing the result "it says NO GLUTEN right here" "SOYBEAN OIL!" (he's allergic to soy) and so on. Very cute, very funny, he's learning to do the right things, and it all really amuses the grocers/checkout people/etc. LOL.

I am totally hooked on Open Original Shared Link massage bar which I use on my face day and night. Cheap and great and seems to be without all those untested additives.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
