The Top 8 Coconut Or Tree Nut Free Products For Allergy Sufferers
Not everyone can tolerate coconut or tree nuts some of us are actually allergic and deviate from it. Being allergic to coconut is extremely rare but it can and does happen.
Tree nut allergies are on the rise and can affect those with eczema but being allergic to coconut* oil does not mean you are allergic to all tree nuts. It also doesn’t mean you cannot tolerate other tree nuts.
To the FDA coconut is a tree nut but botanically speaking, coconuts are closely related to other palms and betel nuts. Because the FDA considers coconut a tree nut food, products that include coconut will have a label stating that they include tree nuts.
Coconut is present in many foods as a derivative like coconut oil*, sugar cream milk, milk powder and water. You will also find many coconut-derived ingredients in soaps and shampoos so become a label detective is crucial you find you suffer from skin sensitivity to coconut* oil that’s also known as contact allergic dermatitis.
It’s not that easy to find hair products that don’t have coconut or a derivative of it…I mean REALLY HARD, but I have a list of the 8 products out there that are coconut or tree nut free.
