The Best Gluten-Free Shampoos

The best gluten-free shampoos are those made without those gluten grain ingredients that could irritate users with Celiac disease, gluten intolerance or sensitivity, and other conditions. Anyone who wants to avoid gluten in foods may also want to try gluten-free beauty products, including shampoos and conditioners. Glutinous ingredients, like soy and wheat, can be absorbed through the skin and scalp, causing the same side effects as if they were eaten. This list includes many top gluten-free shampoos to try, but it isn't complete: If you've found a great gluten-free hair cleanser and you don't see it listed here, please add it. And vote for your favorites, too.

Anyone who is sensitive to glutinous ingredients probably already knows the importance of reading labels. Some products claim to be gluten-free, but it's always best to double check. What should you look for as a warning? Make sure the shampoo doesn't contain oats, wheat, barley, or rye. If you're still not 100% sure a shampoo is gluten-free, move on. Most reputable gluten-free hair care products are labeled as such. With so many options, why take unnecessary chances?

If there is a particular shampoo you love, and you're unsure about it being gluten-free (the chemical ingredients listed on the bottle can be confusing, after all), you can always contact the manufacturer directly and ask them to verify.

For more great organic hair care options, check out these lists of the best sulfate free shampoos, the best salon shampoo brands, and the best natural shampoos. Again though, check the labels to be sure a shampoo is gluten-free before you buy it.
