Hi everyone,

 

I just wanted to share a few great companies I've found recently that I'm really excited about. They all sell organic, gluten free, cruelty free, and vegan products.

 

They all have sites you can order from online...and I've found some products in stores as well. I'm hoping this information can help someone else as much as it's helped me! I am only including companies that I've personally bought/ordered from.

 

Dr. Bronner's:

 

I've used their hand sanitizer, lotions, lip balm, bar soap, liquid soap, hair rinse, and hair creme. Gluten free, cruelty free, organic, and fair trade. Their products are mostly vegan, except for a few products containing beeswax. Some products do contain non-GMO corn.

100% Pure:

 

This company uses fruit extract and natural oils, no synthetic dyes or chemicals. Because of this, their products only have a shelf life of about 6 months or so once opened (each product will have an open jar on it that will tell you how long it will last) Everything but their mascara is gluten free. (Their lip balms don't state that they are gluten free, but I sent an inquiry and they confirmed it was - they just haven't updated the label yet) I have used their nourishing body creams (strawberry and raspberry), their tinted fruit lip gloss, their eye pencil, and their forest scented hand wash. Apparently each order comes with free samples, but I was lucky enough to find their products in a nearby gluten free health food store so I haven't ordered from them online yet.

Face Naturals:

 

This company is probably my favorite. Their ingredients are so natural, that a lot of their products are edible. I put in an order recently, and it took me about 2 weeks to get it (they made all of the products fresh for me) and everything smelled amazing. I ordered the raspberry lime scrub (love it), a raspberry sherbet lip balm, "try me" sizes of the dead sea mineral mask and lavender healing cream, and the coconut chai moisturizing stick. They also threw in an orange crush lip balm for no charge. Everything smells fantastic, it really does smell edible. 

 

As an added bonus: They have a reward system in place. You start off with 50 reward points, and everything you order adds more reward points. You can use the reward points as cash...they don't expire...so you can save them up and use them on a bigger purchase.

Everything is gluten free (I sent an inquiry to check) and here was my response:

 

Hi Ashley, 

 
We do not use any gluten containing ingredients.  As much of our client base has sensitivities/allergies to the top five allergens (gluten, soy, wheat, corn, milk, etc) we have intentionally avoided their use in our formulations.  The only product you may choose to avoid if you have severe gluten allergy is the Oatmeal Honey Silk bar soap.  Our raw oats in the soap are organic, however, the processor for the oats does not specifically state they are certified gluten free or processed on separate equipment.  We have never had any comments regarding adverse reactions to this bar soap, but if you are severely allergic to gluten or oats, you may want to skip that one product. 
 

Healthy skin begins with a healthy body! Have a wonderful, healthy day!  :)

Again, hope this helps you guys! What are some of your favorite companies/brands for skin/hair care/other beauty products?

Thank you for that great information.  I have used 100 percent pure and i agree that they have wonderful products. Just be aware i was told that the only product in their line that contains gluten is the mascara.  Also, another great line to try is Pacifica their link is pacificaperfume.com  You can purchase some of their products at Target and Ulta! They have awesome smelling natural perfumes and  lotions.  They are coming out with lots of new products as well.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification. In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      The reason that it triggers your dermatitis herpetiformis but not your celiac disease is because you aren't completely intolerant to gluten. The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      @Mynx, you say, "The reason this is believed is because the gluten protein molecule is too big to pass through the distillation process. Unfortunately, the liquid ie vinegar is cross contaminated because the gluten protein had been in the liquid prior to distillation process." I guess I misunderstand what you are trying to say but the statements in those...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      It isn't a conjecture. I have gotten glitened from having some distilled white vinegar as a test. When I talked to some of my scientists friends, they confirmed that for a mall percentage of people, distilled white vinegar is a problem. The cross contamination isn't from wheat glue in a cask. While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation...

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.

The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate a some gluten or cross contamination. It just depends on the sensitivity of the gene.

When I talked to some of my scientists friends, they confirmed that for a mall percentage of people, distilled white vinegar is a problem. The cross contamination isn't from wheat glue in a cask. While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation process, after the distillation process, the vinegar is still cross contaminated. Please don't dismiss or disregard the small group of people who are 100^ gluten intolerant by saying things are conjecture. Just because you haven't done thr research or aren't as sensitive to gluten doesn't mean that everyone is like you.
