Gluten, Sulfate Free Soap
Gluten-Free Soap Products Help Sensitive Skin
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. If you have Celiac disease or have a sensitivity to wheat or certain grains, it's important to eat gluten-free food. Celiac disease is a gluten-sensitive, genetic autoimmune disorder. If you eat foods containing gluten, your small intestine becomes damaged. Digestion of gluten prevents absorption of some nutrients causing bloating, diarrhea, fatigue and other serious complications.
According to Mayo Clinic, gluten itself cannot be absorbed through your skin as you apply skin care or cosmetics. However, it can affect you with dental products. It's therefore, crucial with celiac disease to use gluten-free toothpaste and gluten-free mouthwash since these products can be readily absorbed through the soft tissues in your mouth.
What is Gluten Free Soap?
Gluten free soap is soap that does not contain the gluten protein that is commonly found in grains including wheat, rye, and barley.
Why Should Soap be Gluten Free?
For those with celiac disease, gluten-containing products are not usually a problem unless they are accidentally ingested. It is recommended to keep these products away from your lips and mouth for this reason. Some people with celiac disease can develop dermatitis herpetiformis, which is linked to gluten intolerance and can cause an itchy and blistering rash. It is recommended to keep skin care products gluten free for those who are extra sensitive to the protein.
Is Soap Typically Gluten Free?
Gluten is a common ingredient in skin care products because it acts as an emollient, which makes your skin feel soft and smooth. Even if you don’t have a severe case of celiac disease, it is ok to be cautious and choose products that eliminate gluten completely. Not only does Cleure provide gluten free soap, but we also provide gluten free toothpaste, mouthwash, lip balm, shampoo, conditioner, and other sensitive skin care products that are sure to give you peace of mind.
Gluten in Skin Care: Should You be Worried?
The simple answer is no. However, the skin is the largest organ in the body and does absorb most anything applied to it. This is why pain medication and birth control patches, among others, are prescribed. If you have a contact sensitivity to wheat or other grains, it's best to use gluten-free cosmetics, gluten-free skin care and hair care. With contact sensitivity to wheat or grains, your skin may itch, turn red or break out in a blistering rash.
