Weleda, Dr Hauschka And Derma E Skin Care

Hi everyone,

I was doing a little research this morning on the Dr Hauschka website and this is what I read in regards to the alcohol they use in most of their products...

Alcohol

A food-grade ethyl alcohol (ethanol) from organically grown wheat. Many plants are extracted in alcohol because it extracts the widest variety of plant constituents. Alcohol also serves as a natural emulsifier, preservative and carrier, helping ingredients penetrate the skin. Alcohol is not drying to the skin when part of a carefully formulated Dr.Hauschka composition. Our alcohol is derived from a fermentation and distillation process and is gluten-free.

Found in...

Rose Body Wash, Blackthorn Body Wash, Cleansing Cream, Cleansing Milk, Clarifying Toner, Deodorant Floral, Deodorant Fresh, Eye Solace, Firming Mask, Facial Steam Bath, Facial Toner, Hand Cream, Neem Hair Lotion, Neem Hair Oil, Lemon Bath, Lavender Bath, Mascara, Moisturizing Day Cream, Moisturizing Mask, Liquid Eyeliner.

I then went onto Weleda.com and they have pretty much the same description of their alcohol and it's in almost all of their skin care.

I kept wondering why my skin would be so dry and itchy after using the Almond cleanser and now I know it's the alcohol. Even though it's gluten free, it's still made from wheat. It's a bummer because these are two of my favorite lines. The good thing is all of Derma E products are gluten free except for 3 of them...their website reads...

Gluten Free

"Our alcohol is derived from a fermentation and distillation process and is gluten-free."

If the alcohol is distilled (and this seems to be the case, according to this quote), it is considered safe for Celiac.

There may be a few who will react to minute amounts of trace gluten in wheat based alcohol, but generally most people with Celiac Disease will not react to such small amounts, if even detectable.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
