Many people who do not live a gluten free lifestyle think it is all about food choices. If it were only that simple! Most people with Celiac Disease believe that
anything that has a chance of entering your mouth, even accidentally, should not contain gluten. Take skin and body care products for example; these products are on our face, bodies and hair; inevitably they are going to be ingested, even in small amounts whether we intend for them to or not. When you wash your face, the lather from the cleanser will most likely make contact with your lips. If you apply lotion on your body the residue left on your hands could enter your mouth if the two make contact. You get the picture!
Because my daughter has Celiac Disease, I seek out only gluten free skin and body care products for our family. I would hate for cross-contamination to occur via lotion residue on our hands transferring to food we prepare for her and several other {equally undesirable} scenarios. I have found a solution in
Daisy Blue Naturals; they offer skin and body care products that are
gluten free, all natural and affordable. An added plus is that Daisy Blue Naturals use essential oils from plants and flowers as well as a myriad of botanicals in their products. Essential oils not only smell lovely, they are therapeutic as well. This means you get
natural, gluten free skin care that creates positive change in the skin... a triple win!
I had the opportunity to sample the
Lavender Lotion and
Lavender Soap from Daisy Blue Naturals; it is no secret to those who know me that I have an affinity for essential oils, especially lavender. The Daisy Blue Naturals Lavender Lotion makes me happy the minute I smell it due to the power of aromatherapy. Lavender is naturally soothing and healing... it instantly calms my busy mind and puts a smile on my face. I start my day with it after my morning shower and end my day with it before going to sleep. The texture of Daisy Blue lotion is silky but in no way greasy, it has a quick absorption time and slips easily over the skin with out pulling. The Daisy Blue Naturals Lavender Soap has the same dreamy scent as the lotion and a rich creamy lather; my skin feels soft and nourished after using it. My daughter with Celiac Disease loves the Daisy Blue Naturals lavender products as much as I do... we are both huge fans!
I think it is worth mentioning that I am a licensed Cosmetologist who has worked as a corporate product trainer for a major skin care company and
I give Daisy Blue Naturals my "pure and effective seal of approval." These very special gluten free products are formulated and handmade by Daisy Blue Naturals. Yes,
handmade. Neat, right?
Please note that there are a few products on the Daisy Blue website which have wheat germ oil listed in the ingredients; upon inquiry Daisy Blue informed me that
all of the products are now gluten free. They are in the process of updating the ingredient listing on a few remaining products on their site to reflect this.
I highly recommend Daisy Blue Naturals; it is lovely, effective gluten free skin care that makes me happy every time I use it.
