Bonus: Gluten-free play-dough!
I’m not sure why there is an issue here? My son has a gluten allergy and breaks out when he plays with play dough that isn’t gluten free.
Niche product, sure. But definitely a market.
Okay, the play-dough maybe… but the sand? Would you ever buy your child sand and worry about the gluten content?
It’s not normal sand, it’s kinetic sand. There is more in that container than just sand. Most notably silicone oil, dyes, etc.
People don’t know what other ingredients are in there, and it sits on the shelf right next to other smushy things that can cause certain kids to have an allergic reaction.
Same concept. Kinetic sand not having gluten in it is initially why we swapped to it.
Truthfully having a big Gluten Free label on it just makes it easier for parents to know kids with gluten allergies can play with it.
But it wasn’t something that was obvious to us without researching it specifically.
I mean it’s like buying a hairless cat if you’re allergic to them. Like I still want to play with a cat, I just need one that doesn’t cause issues for me due to dander.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
wait is gluten alergy on the skin too? I thought the person had to eat it
Gluten intolerant person here. It’s like any other allergies where it runs the gambit. Most of us only have digestive issues if we eat it. Very rarely however, people will have the thing where they will just fucking explode into hives if someone breaks out a piece of bread in the same room as them. Just like peanut kid in elementary school.
I’m sorry for my Ignorance I have milk alergy (more severe than simple “intolerance”) and that will happened to me too. For some reason I never though gluten alergies worked that way. but now I know and will take extra care
Bro you are talking about play dough age kids here. Even if they don’t stick the dough in their mouth they most certainly won’t anally wash their hands after every time they play with play dough in a very defined area of the house.
Well considering how much kids just eat whatever the fuck they feel like, it’s not the worst idea ever. I mean kids can have a gluten allergy, technically, just not most of the ones who’s parents claim they do.
My brother found gluten free chocolate milk being sold in a big bottle, so we laughed real hard and bought two. He got more than halfway through before lookin at it and saying out loud, as we were heading to the camp site, “oh wait, I’m lactose intolerant” his girlfriend wasn’t pleased, but I didn’t have to share a tent with him so I was fine, an I got the rest!
Ok, but is it PFAS free? Huh?
