African Black Soap, great for face, body, even shampoo, no chemicals at all, I love this stuff! I buy mine from www.OldCityRemedies.com, they're located in St Augustine, also check out their Shea butter, fantastic, and their tea blends are delicious!

Check your local TJ Maxx, lately I've found some of these brands and others like Origins and Giovanni's shampoo and conditioners which are great. Of course, it's much cheaper there too!

not trying to argue here, but arm and hamer is a company that tests on animals! just saying not vegan

@jaycore86 Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I was unaware of that. The product itself however should be animal product free, and of course, it doesn't have to be Arm & Hammer baking soda.

baking soda is great as a "shampoo" as well. and apple cider vinegar for conditioner. google "no poo" (i know, bad name) to learn more... have been using these for 3yrs instead of shampoo!

@hellotreesblog That's a great idea! I looked it up, looks good. Thanks for sharing! :)

@jaycore86 almost all synthetic ingredients are tested on animals and/or have been tested on animals in the past. Do you recieve modern health care? EVERYTHING you recieve has gone though trials and clinical evaluation that involves animal testing. I don't like it either but its a fact of life. I would jump on a more meaningful cause wagon.
