Gluten free face washes and moisturizers?

Hey, everyone! What do you guys use as face washes and moisturizers? I've emailed La Roche as well as CeraVe and both have given open ended questions. Also, yes I know I don't eat the soap nor am I worried about skin absorbing it, but things like sweating, touching food after, etc. all can do it and I get sick from trace amounts. I've tried Everyone face wash recently and was disappointed (like all of their products tbh)

I just use Dove Soap.  My teen uses some tea tree oil soap clearly labeled gluten free to help with oil.    I used to buy Cerave, but now use a Walmart knock-off (made in Canada) to save money.  It is a body lotion, but really skin is skin.  Maybe a little thinner on the face,  but still skin.     Cerave  used to have a gluten free facial sunscreen, but not anymore (at least when I last checked).    You really have to read labels as ingredients can change.

Yeah, it's annoying how some times good products change! I've used Palmer's body wash and lotion for the past five years but have just wanted a change. Also, used Jack Black for two years but it's not really improved my skin, so I'm looking for improvement there. These "natural" soaps I've tried have either smelled horribly or were drying. Native soap has been a really good body wash though, just pricy, so I'm still debating them.

Dove. I can use their soaps and shampoo. Andalou naturals gave me a gluten reaction. I can use the face oil from derma_e with no reaction. Badger balm hand cream is fine for me, and their lip balm is certified gluten free. I haven't tried badger balm face creams or toners. Desert essence jojoba oil and tea tree was also fine. I'm hyper sensitive. I'm looking for hair styling products. Not interested in people trawling out the usual can't be absorbed via the skin. It gets on hands, and in mouths easy enough. I've no desire to be sick.

I HATE when people do that condescending "YouRe NoT GoInG tO EaT iT" or "It CaNt Be AbSorbEd". If it's ever on my skin, anywhere, I want it to be gluten free. I really want to try La Roche Posay Hydrating facial cleanser but I'm still waiting on an answer. I think I read Desert Essence has a high pH and after the way Dr Bronner's was, I worry it'd destroy the skin too. Had high hopes I'd found a grail when I got Bronner's lol "This will do everything!" Boy was I wrong.

I am not sure if you saw the EpliLynx banners here, but they are a sponsor who specializes in GF cosmetics...not sure if they make a face wash but they do make many GF face lotions & moisturizers.

Are you using straight Dr. Bronnners? I don't use it straight with water.  I find it too harsh for the face. 

I use kirk's soap for my body. I make my own laundry detergent and face soap. I stopped using dryer sheets altogether. I saw improvement in my son's and husband's skin as my immune system revamped our personal care.

I do use liquid Dr. Bronners  as my base, but many people add oils or essential oils , purified water etc to balance the Bronners. I researched library books, otc products, and natural recipes online then experimented.

For a time I made my own toothpaste. I then reintroduced toothpaste use squiggle then desert essence as I had difficulty finding squiggle. I still make my own mouth rinse.

It may take a while to find what works for you. Overtime in my experience one can reintroduce otc products or products with more ingredients as the immune system settles down. Often times by then you master the craft and stick with it . Or return to an old fav or a new better fit product.

Good luck

Did you ever find a way for Dr Bronner's to not destroy your face? (like a dilution ratio). It's annoying because everyone always tells me "no matter how much you dilute the pH is too high", and the only time I see someone say it's not is when it's the company itself (but they're trying to sell me something) but I'd love a jack of all trades with natural ingredients

I use Adasept face cleanser. Lightweight and gluten free. It was recommended by my dermatologist (I see this doctor due to DH issues).

Same doctor recommended the tubs (not the stuff with a pump) of CeraVe as a moisturizer.

Andalou is all I use, I highly recommend. I'm 63 and people think I'm 40. I was picking up a prescription and the pharmacist asked if it was for my mother. I said no, it's for me. She about passed out. Gluten free. I order from their web site. Sign up for their newsletter to get discounts. It seems a little expensive, but you use a lot less than cheaper products, it lasts awhile. I don't love their shower gel, so sometimes I use Philosophy brand for that, which is not labeled gluten-free, but company claims no gluten ingredients and I've never had a problem and I'm very sensitive.  Also Savonnarie brand has gluten-free body lotion and cleansers.

Which Andalou products do you use? Any partiular benefits to each?

I have DH and am very sensitive. I use Andalou shampoos and conditioners as well as their facial products with no issues. I like the ones for sensitive skin and have used their anti-aging line. I really enjoy the Cocoa Mask. Smells so good and leaves my skin nice and soft. I also use Cerave. I like the tub for the body and use their Facial Moisturizing Lotion with a broad spectrum sunscreen. It is the only sunscreen that doesn't make break out.

I am a few years late to this post, but Vanicream is really excellent and labels their products gluten-free (I've used their face wash and moisturizer as well as their sunscreen!).

I use Derma-E facewash, which is gluten free, and mineral fusion moisturizer which is also cert gluten free. I can really reccomend the mineral fusion products. Desert essence do gluten free certified shampoo, soaps and even toothpaste, which I love.

      Still unsure.....

      By badastronaut · Posted

      Dear forum members, I’m still trying to find out whether or not I actually have gluten sensitivity or not. Recent blood test showed a slightly elevated Bilirubine and Lipase but an abdominal ultrasound showed no problems with the liver or pancreas. My zinc and folic acid where both too low. When I eat gluten I get a lot of mucus with my stool and most of the times it’s quite thin. As soon as I take gluten away from my diet my stool becomes normal. I also have been quite anxious and little bit down for quite some time now and it seems to correlate with my gluten intake. The problem is that my colonoscopy showed no damage to my gut and my blood test for celiac always come back negative. Can you be gluten sensitive without damage to your villi? (I believe that’s what is normally seen in celiac disease). Thanks for helping! I don’t seem to get anywhere with my doctor so I thought I’d give this forum another try.

      Can gallbladder issues cause symptoms of celiac disease?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @robingfellow and @Mr-Collateral531, I also had to have my gallbladder removed in emergency surgery.  The gallbladder uses lots of thiamine vitamin b1 to function.   The gallbladder cannot secrete bile if it doesn't have sufficient thiamine.  Thiamine provides our muscles and glands energy to move and secrete needed enzymes and hormones.  The thyroid is another gland that requires lots if thiamine to function and secrete hormones.   Our brains, just thinking at a desk job, requires as much thiamine as our muscles do if running a marathon.   Migraines are linked to thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is the first of the eight B vitamins that our body needs. Thiamine can only be stored for three weeks at most.  Our thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  We need more thiamine when we have a physical injury (like recovering from surgery or fighting the flu), if we're emotionally stressed or traumatized, and if we're physically active.  Thiamine, like the other B vitamins, is water soluble and easily excreted in urine or most in diarrhea.  B vitamins are commonly poorly absorbed in Celiac Disease.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins need to be taken together because they interact with each other to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine deficiency can affect individual organs.  Gallbladder dysfunction is connected to thiamine deficiency, as is hypothyroidism.    Migraines are connected to thiamine deficiency.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi (abdominal pain, vomiting, etc.) is a result of thiamine deficiency.  Tachycardia and fatigue are also symptoms of thiamine deficiency.   Thiamine and magnesium make enzymes that are essential for life.   Thiamine is needed to absorb certain minerals like iron.  Anemia and thiamine deficiency frequently occur together.  Thiamine deficiency can cause poor blood cell production (including low antibody production).   Thiamine interacts with other vitamins and minerals.  Vitamin D is not utilized by the body until turned into an active form by Thiamine. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses of thiamine correct deficiencies quickly which prevent further health deterioration.  A one a day type multivitamin is not sufficient to correct vitamin and mineral deficiencies that occur in the malabsorption of Celiac Disease.   The Gluten free diet is low in vitamins as they are not required to be enriched with vitamins lost in processing.  Supplementing with thiamine and the B vitamins boosts their absorption.   Helpful Reading: Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Wernicke's Encephalopathy Triggered by One Session of Heavy Drinking https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6739701/ P. S. Try a DNA test to see if you have any known genes for Celiac Disease before doing a gluten challenge.

      Certified gluten free oats

      Certified gluten free oats

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I would think that for the 10% of celiacs who can't tolerate oats it would cause villous atrophy just like gluten. No, it would not produce marsh 3b villous atrophy in a couple of days. Nothing will produce measurable villous atrophy that fast. It takes at least two weeks of at least 10g of gluten consumption daily (10g is the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread) to develop measurable villous atrophy and even then probably not 3b villous atrophy. Are you asking these questions in because you are considering taking on a gluten challenge?
