Gluten Free Skin Products

Before taking anyone's advice here (since no one who has yet replied has any 1st hand experience with neeing to be gluten-free), I really recommend that you search for and join gluten free support groups/forums online and then ASK THERE. Only other people who are in your shoes (trying to live a gluten-free diet) would be able to accurately direct you towards gluten-free skincare. If you are sensitive to gluten in your diet, you can very easily also react to gluten on your skin, so you are quite astute to be searching for gluten free skincare.

Searching in Yahoo Groups using the keyword "gluten" you already get a good list of groups, and I see several good groups listed in just the 1st two pages, such as SillyYaks, livingwheatandglutenfree, and celiacsupport:

Best of luck!

Hi A.,

so sorry to hear about your health issues. I am a RN and Health Coach.
I also have a lot of allergies and I have searched for a long time for allergen free products.

That led me to BeautiControl. I decided to go ahead and be a consultant. I also do home spas as I love making sure women feel good about themselves.
There is a sensitive skin care line that is wonderful.
check out my website: www.beautipage.com/teresabussey
You can order from it and email me from there.
Feel free to ask anything.
Good luck, Remember your skin is your largest organ and you have to take care of it.

I work for a company that promotes all natural skin care, cleaning, and vitamin products. I love them and my son who is autistic is even making some great strides since I changed. If you would like more information email me ____@____.com

I am not for sure if these products are gluten free, but my mother in law also has a gluten intolerance and she uses these products. i know they are hypoallergenic and if you go to their website you should be able to find out by emailing them. I use these products myself and love them! The company is called Arbonne and their web address is www.arbonne.com.

Hi A.,
You are dealing with some challenging health issues and I wish you luck in your quest to find acceptable products. There is a web site from the Envirnomental Working Group that will allow you to search products and brands to see if the company uses ingredients that are potentially dangerous to our health. It is: http://www.cosmeticdatabase.com/
They note "cancer, reproductive/developmental toxicity, violations, restrictions and warnings, allergies, immunotoxicity and other concerns" This is a third-party source that does not endorse or recommend any products.
The brand I have used for years and finally decided to distribute is Shaklee. When you type them into this database, "O" issues are shown, whereas Mary Kay has "79".
If you want to look at Shaklee's personal care products, here is a link: http://www.shaklee.net/changinglives/product/PersonalCare. Most people who are gluten sensitive are not affected by topically applied gluten-containing products but you could be an exception.
It would be important to get your immune system built up as much as possible to help your body better tolerate ingredients that are causing your body distress. Allergies are often a sign of a weakened immune system; I know because I and others in my family dealt with it.
Again, best of luck in your quest for health.

Hello A.. I'm sorry your having problems with your skin. I wanted to let you know of some skin products you can check out on Quixtar.com that are specifically made for sensitive skin. Also, you can check with Wild Oats stores for products that may work for you. If you need help with Quixtar.com, let me know. Good luck.

Try www.melaleuca.com All of the products are natural. et me know if you have any questions.

I'm pretty sure that Burts Bees products are gluten free.

a really good place to check out is Raison Rack on Schrock rd in westerville. They just opened a huge new store (where the old Big Bear used to be) so they are now carrying more products, including skin, face, and hair items.

I am not 100% sure if they are gluten free or not but I would check out this website www.cosmeticcop.com the products are very well formulated and if you email their customer service they should be able to answer any questions you have about what is in the products.
