By Amelia Hamilton
Ive been gluten-free for health reasons for several years, but only lately realized that I need to be careful of the ingredients in my beauty products. So many mainstream products contain gluten that it can be difficult to find good products that wont interfere with the lifestyle.
Since avoiding gluten means avoiding anything with wheat, barley, or rye (oats are still up for debate) this can rule out a lot of beauty products. A large percentage of our products are absorbed into the skin, making it imperative that you keep your products gluten-free to keep your body gluten-free.
Always read the label to ensure that a product is gluten-free. The label wont say gluten but list wheat, barley, oats or rye. Although some companies are getting better about labeling their products gluten-free you usually have to check the product. You can contact companies directly to obtain a list of their gluten-free products as well, so you can be prepared when you go shopping and put your mind at rest that you didnt miss anything on the label.
Nothing will make you shine more brightly than health, so make sure that your beauty products arent sabotaging you.
Amelia, I’m sure glutens create issues that doctor’s don’t diagnose correctly. Great info!
