Yes, I did say ‘range’ there. It is very unusual to find truly TrulyGlutenFree (grain and dairy free) toiletries unless they are solid or liquid oils, let alone a whole range!
I have been working with Lyndsey, who makes Akamuti (African for ‘a little bit of medicine’) for the last few months sussing out their face and body moisturisers, hand butters, hair care and bath products – and most of them are TGF. Yes, I fainted too.
I have been longing for a moisturiser that isn’t just oil. Much as I love argan, avocado, evening primrose and olive oils, you understand, I do long to actually dip my fingers in a pot of something unctuous and smooth it on my fizzog, don’t you?
They do a lovely foot balm and some beautiful soaps – based only on olive and coconut oils with saponified shea butter. Very rich and nourishing.
Anyway, happily, we worked out that most of the range is indeed suitable for us corn and grain hypersensitives and there is no risk of cross-contamination either, so I have listed them in the new Pure Beauty section of the shop here. Do have a read of the Overview there, where I have pointed out which – few – you need to be careful of.
How fab – nice toiletries for a change! Oh, and we are also working on TGF make-up. There have been lippies and emails flying everywhere, quite literally as I now have trial ones from Australia, Canada and new Zealand as well as the UK!
If you need gorgeous non TGF non-toxic toiletries, don’t despair. I have some listed here for you and will announce a really beautiful luxury non-toxic range for you shortly.
So, go and check out Akamuti and get yourselves some treats. As it happens, they currently have a Summer sale on 🙂
