Okay here's the deal...I spent about an hour on the phone w/ them but did not get through their entire product list b/c they have to look up the ingredients to each product and it takes a lot of time. I nicely & strongly encouraged them to create a "Safe List" to avoid the painful "look up" process for them and us...not sure if they'll compile one or not. So.....with that said, below is a list of gluten-free products that I did get.....I myself need a drink to recover from all the products I am going to have to discontinue using....HA!

Shampoos NOT okay to use:

Shampure

Pure Abundance

Clove

Camomile

Black Malva

Blue Malva

Madder Root

Shampoos SAFE to use:

Sap Moss

Brilliant

Damage Remedy

Scalp Benefits

Color Conserve

Rosemary Mint

Hair Detoxifier

Conditioners NOT okay to use:

Sap Moss

Damage Remedy Conditioner

Color Reserve

Rosemary Mint

Clove

Camomile

Black Malva

Blue Malva

Madderoot

Pure Abundance

Brilliant (this one has "rice bran" and "oat bran" in it so i'm thinking it's a no-no??? anyone else know??)

Conditioners SAFE to use:

Scalp Benefits

NOT safe on lips:

Eruku Lip

Lip Color Concentrates

Lip Glazes

Lip Replenishment

Lip sheer

SAFE Lip Stuff:

Lipsaver is SAFE!!!!!!

Other UNSAFE Products:

Sap Moss Nourishing Concentrate

Cherry Almond Bark

Deep Penetrating

Styling Curressence

Brilliant Damage Control Spray

Elixir

Brilliant RETXTURIZING Gel

Hang Straight

Confixor

Other SAFE Products:

Rosemary Mint Body Lotion

Brillian FORMING Gel

Brilliant Hair Spray

Brilliant Pomades (both are safe)

Brilliant Universal Syling Cream

Brilliant Spray on Shine

The Entire Light Elements Line is safe

Witch Hazel Hair Spray (this has "rice bran" in it, anyone know if this is okay????)

The Damage Remedy INTENSIVE Restructing Treatment is also safe. However, the lady on the phone said to PAY ATTENTION when/if you buy this product b/c MANY people have accidentally gotten the Damage Remedy Conditioner instead and the conditioner is NOT gluten-free only the Intensive Restruct Treatment is gluten-free.....

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your list too. I tried to get them to e-mail me something but they wouldn't so kudos to you for getting through on that end. Have a great weekend!

Do you know if this list includes the lotions? Because i got the hand and foot relief lotions as a gift from aveda but the ingredients list is so tiny cause its travel size....

any clue? :huh:

i asked for everything in my email cuz i use all their products exclusively (although not anymore it looks like), and seeing as they included makeup in this list, i cant imagine they didnt include lotions...that would be odd. the ingredient list on the hand cream looks fine...i use it all the time.

Interesting info... I use Aveda products because my family knows the owner of a salon that uses only Aveda products and we get our stuff for free. So, I have been using Brilliant for shampoo and Scalp Benefits for my conditioner for probably 2 or more years. I used to use Shampure, but I think I stopped because it has wheat in it. These products seem to work out good and Sap Moss is a good shampoo as well.

I can't give up Aveda salons. Can't do it, went to one yesterday and got a fantastic haircut and great color.

Incedentially, the lady that owns the salon is gluten intolerant! I don't think she's real serious about the diet, though!

I didn't get sick (knock on wood) from doing the whole shebang, so maybe there's hope :)

You can't beat Aveda salons for their huge amounts of training, they have to do apprenticeships before moving beyod "new talent". Most stylists at an Aveda salon will take at least one class a year from Aveda.

Update on Aveda products...Just got off the phone with Aveda. I was told that NONE of their conditioners are gluten-free!!!!!

However, scalp benefits shampoo is gluten-free.

These are great lists, thank you. Although very disappointing because I love aveda products. I emailed Aveda today but I thought I'd ask here as well. Does anyone know if their 'all sensitive' line (cleanser, toner, moisturizer) are gluten free? I just bought these about a month ago and I LOVE them. I do notice however that when I put the cream on my face I do go over my lips and when I wash my face in the shower with the cleanser it could get into my mouth I suppose. I'll post the response from Aveda when I get it.

I just emailed Aveda yesterday asking for product ingredients before finding this forum. Sounds like they only have a few "gluten-free" products and that those may be cross contaminated. I ordered a product sample pack from Mychelle and mineral foundation from Bare Minerals. For other cosmetics (such as lipstick, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, etc.) I'm now thinking of trying either AfterGlow or Real Purity. Anyone have experience with these lines? Thanks.

I have been recently diagnosed with Celiac and love Aveda products, so I was disheartened to find out there was wheat in most of them. I have called them and visited many of their stores asking for more information and have not been very successful until today. Finally I found a manager at the U-Village store in Seattle who helped me. She said her current list was out of date since Aveda had reformulated many of their products over the last three years, so she would contact corporate for a new list. She did and then she emailed me the new list!

From the email:

This is by no means a complete list, but it's at least a fairly broad selection of things. Some lines, like the Smooth Infusion and the Be Curly, you will have to avoid completely; some have a few products that are wheat-free, but not all, so I capitalized the exceptions. You will have to avoid our aerosol hair sprays and all 3 prep products. And, of course, we do occasionally update formulas, so it never hurts to double check the back of the bottle.

Some gluten and wheat-free items (as of 8/20/2010, subject to change)

Shampoo/Conditioner/Treatment

Damage Remedy Shampoo (soy & quinoa) (also sulfate free)

Damage Remedy Conditioner (soy & quinoa)

Damage Remedy Treatment (soy & quinoa)

all ok

Hope this helps!

      Hey all!

      Thank you! I’m currently the breadwinner as my husband is pursuing a finance degree so the nights that I am at work they can eat whatever my husband makes but when I am home we have gluten free meals and no complaints so far! I definitely don’t have a choice but to switch but I think slowly transitioning my family is good!😀

      What do you mean when you say, "blood thinners are all the same to me"? Do you mean you react negatively in the same way to all of them? Otherwise, they are not all the same. They work in different ways. Aspirin causes the platelets to be less sticky. Warfarin and related meds work by reducing the production of platelets. You might talk to your doctor about...

      Welcome aboard, @Savannah Wert! There usually is a learning curve involved in arriving at a consistently gluten free diet since gluten is found in so many food products where you would never expect it to be. This article may be helpful:  It is good that you have identified some other foods that you cannot tolerate at this point as this is so common in the celiac population and it often goes unaddressed for years. You may find that the lactose intolerance disappears as your gut heals. No guarantee, though. Keep an eye out for the development of celiac symptoms in your children as the likelihood of first degree relatives developing active celiac disease is somewhere between 10% and almost 50%. Yes, the studies on this are all over the map. Is your home gluten free or will you be attempting to avoid CC (Cross Contamination) while fixing gluten-containing foods for your family members? It is always best for everyone in the home to commit to gluten free eating in the home environment when one member has celiac disease.

I was diagnosed with celiac disease beginning of October along with microscopic colitis, lactose intolerance, and sucrose intolerance. I got sick the day before my 5th wedding anniversary and thought it was just the flu, which lasted over 3 months. I finally had a colonoscopy and endoscopy and was diagnosed. This has been such a hard transition and any tips are greatly appreciated!

I am dismayed but not really surprised that I may be in the small group of people to suffer a particular side effect. I was originally on warfirin. I think that was the one where I had trouble with vitamin k numbers and or was anemic with low hemoglobin, red blood cells etc.  My blood pressure drops to very low numbers after taking something as simple as turmeric for a few weeks. My diastolic had touched 50 one day before I finally figured out that the herb was the problem. No intention to go for 40 so never looked back. I wanted to try benfothiamine but one of the listed side effects is bradycardia and other stuff that I am not going to challenge esp since I have had and still have to a lesser degree heart rhythm problems.
