A Good Hand Lotion?

So, I'm back at school handling gluten snacks for my kindergartners and helping them with lunch. I carry soft soap with me to lunch to wash hands after helping them. I wash my hands so much throughout the day and they are now cracking open. Which makes me more paranoid about touching gluten! I did buy some food gloves and plan to use them since I have wheat and barely allergy as well. Do any of you know a good gluten-free hand lotion? I'm still a newbie at all this and just about everything scares me. I was using vasline unscented lotion, it looked safe, but thought I'd get this forums opinion. Thanks in advance!

I remember a post on someone commenting on how gluten eaters eat...I totally agree. My teacher has gluten in my classroom and it kills me. Crumbs all over! I have to be so careful. I keep my desk safe!

Cerave is a really thick hand cream. The dermatologist recommend it for Hub's cracked fingers. I wrote to them & it's gluten-free. They haven 't had it at Walmart, but Walgreens & CVS have had it. $12-15 for a big jar. Thick and stays on but not greasy.

I like booths apricot oil firming body lotion. I've gone through 3 bottles now, and while one was a bit greasy, it was only the top part! I just had to mix it up a bit to get past that. Best part is the smell, just a nice light citrus scent that is (so far) not offensive to those with sensitive smellers--like me! I got it at Ulta, you can order it online, and they usually have some sort of a coupon going on each week. 6.99 for 15 oz. (Don't know how that firming part works, or how effective it is. I just like the scent, the price, and the gluten-free-ness!) :P

I actually saw it at my local Wal-Mart but didn't buy it. Darn! I don't really have a problem right now but come winter, my hands are always a mess. Thanks for the suggestion!

My friend's mom used to make her own hand lotion - a calendula and olive oil combo - that was it. She swore by it to make sure her hands were nice and soft after digging in the garden.

I use Burt's Bees on a regular basis too - I *hope* it is gluten free :-)!

I was just getting ready to ask that question and need the same answer. I was taking care of my grandson and it seemed everything he ate had gluten so I washed my hands a lot. I have a good lotion that is Shea Butter but I don't know if it is gluten free. I had it before my diagnosis.

I was a frequent hand washer already and have worked in a pre-school prior to gluten-free so washed ALOT-I won't get into why. Now I wash lots due to diabetes and checks but can't use anything too emolient or it screws up the tests. Anyway, I use a plain unfragranced bar soap most of the time. It's much gentler on my skin than the pump style ones. For lotion, I use Neutrogena, in the cooler weather mostly. Do be sure to use latex-free gloves! Latex is irritating, esp. to those of us who are more sensitive in nature. My kiddo has a latex allergy now and it's been an eye-opening experience. Latex allergy is obtained though exposure so anyone who wears gloves containing latex on a regular basis is at risk for developing it and it can be a nasty one to be allergic to. I test neg. but used to wear latex containing gloves alot to do dishes and thought my hands were irritated by all the water, soap etc. but I do just as many now without gloves and have no problems so it makes me wonder. Latex-free gloves are clearly labeled and available at mainstream pharmacies.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After...

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      On the AIP diet, all processed foods are eliminated. This includes gluten-free bread. You'll be eating meats and vegetables, mostly. Meats that are processed, like sausages, sandwich meats, bacons, chicken nuggets, etc., are eliminated as well. Veggies should be fresh, or frozen without other ingredients like sauces or seasonings. Nightshade vegetables...

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      Thank you for responding and for prayers. So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine. You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison. I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of. Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including...

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      When I accidentally consume gluten it compromises the well-being of my heart and arteries. Last time I had a significant exposure, about six months ago, I had AFib for about ten days. It came on every day around dinner time. After the ten days or so it went away and hasn't come back. My cardiologist offered me a collection of pharmaceuticals at the time...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After having my last baby this year, my body has finally started to find its new rhythm and balance...but things started to feel out of sorts. A lot of symptoms were convoluted with postpartum symptoms, and, to top it all off, my cycle came back about 4m postpartum. I was having reoccurring migraines, nausea, joint pain, numbness in my right arm, hand and fingers, tummy problems, hives. I finally went to my PCP in August just for a wellness check and I brought up my ailments. I'm so thankful for a doctor that listens and is thorough. He ended up running a food allergy panel, an environmental respiratory panel, and a celiac panel. I found out I was allergic to wheat, allergic to about every plant and dust mites, and I did have celiac. I had an endoscopy done on October 3 and my results confirmed celiac in the early stages! I am truly blessed to have an answer to my issues. When I eat gluten, my brain feels like it's on fire and like someone is squeezing it. I can't think straight and I zone out easily. My eyes can't focus. I get a super bad migraine and nausea. I get so tired and irritable and anxious. My body hurts sometimes and my gut gets bloated, gassy, constipated, and ends with bowel movements. All this time I thought I was just having mom brain or feeling the effects of postpartum, sleep deprivation, and the like (which I probably was having and the celiac disease just ramped it up!) I have yet to see a dietician but I've already been eating and shopping gluten-free. My husband and I have been working on turning our kitchen 100% gluten-free (we didn't think this would be so expensive but he assured me that my health is worth all the money in the world). There are still a few things to replace and clean. I'm already getting tired of reading labels. I even replaced some of my personal hygiene care for myself and the kids because they were either made with oats or not labeled gluten-free. I have already started feeling better but have made some mistakes along the way or have gotten contamination thrown into the mix. It's been hard! Today I joked that I got diagnosed at the worst time of the year with all the holidays coming up. I will just need to bring my own food to have and to share. It will be okay but different after years of eating "normally". Today I ordered in person at Chipotle and was trying not to feel self-conscious as the line got long because they were following food-allergy protocols. It's all worth it to be the healthiest version of myself for me and my family. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little overwhelmed and a little overloaded!  I am thankful for this community and I look forward to learning more from you all. I need the help, that's for sure!

      Thank you for responding and for prayers.  So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine.  You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.  I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of.  Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including ridges on fingernails, eczema, hair falling out in patches, dry eyes, upset stomach constantly and other weird symptoms that I don't really remember.  Gastro did tests and endoscopy and verified celiac disease. Re heart: I was born with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and an irregular heartbeat, yet heart was extremely strong.  It was difficult to pick up the irregular heartbeat on the EKG per cardiologist.  I had Covid at 77, recovered in 10 days and 2 weeks later developed long Covid. What the doctors and nurses called the "kickoff to long Covid, was A-fib.  I didn't know what was going on with my heart and had ignored early symptoms as some kind of passing aftereffect stemming from Covid.  I was right about where it came from, but wrong on it being "passing".  I have A-fib as my permanent reminder of Covid and take Flecainide every morning and night and will for the rest of my life to stabilize my heartbeat.
