Herbology
Gluten Free
Celiac disease is a genetic disorder that affects 1 in 133 Americans. Individuals suffering
from this disorder have an intolerance to the protein gluten and must eliminate it from their
diet.
In terms of beauty care, there is mixed literature on whether celiacs should use gluten free
beauty products. Some celiacs find that when they use products containing gluten they have
a skin irritation or may develop little bumps on the surface of their skin.
At Herbology all products are made with wheat/gluten free ingredients. In addition, all the
equipment and instruments that are used at Herbology are designated wheat/gluten free to
ensure there is no gluten contamination.
Vegan/Cruelty Free
We believe that animals are our partners on this planet. Accordingly, we have a strict
policy of not testing on animals at any stage of development. All of our products meet
PETA's guidelines for cruelty free products.
We believe beauty products can and should be vegan. This means we do not use
ingredients in which the animal has to be sacrificed (carmine, chitosan), ingredients
derived from animals (lanolin) or produced by an animal (beeswax, milk, honey, silk).
