Natural (chemical free) Soap, lotion, deoderant, etc..?

[wystearya]

I just wanted to thank everyone again for all the suggestions and tips!

One of my friends at work knew of a store that carries natural items here, and today I got some lotion (Desert Essence Organics brand) Deodorant (Crystal), and a bar of Kiss My Face lavender soap.   I think it is a good start!   They have other items there too, but I want to do more reading before I get anything else.  So far I love the scent of the lotion and soap, and I cannot wait to take my bath tomorrow.  lol!

Anyway, next thing I will be looking for and ordering some chemical free makeup.    <3

I'm seeing a lot of recommendations for Lush, so I'm wondering just how "chemical free" everyone's looking for. I know the term doesn't actually mean anything since technically everything's a "chemical", but if you just mean synthetic chemicals, which is usually what I think people mean, well, Lush products do have propylene glycol and other synthetic compounds. Which may very well be fine (it is for me). But they're not entirely "all natural" either.

I appreciate that Elisto!   I am trying to go as 'natural' as I can.   I didn't get anything from Lush, mostly because the prices seemed a bit high for me.   But I did get some nice things yesterday at the store my friend at work recommended.  I know that some 'chemicals' can be OK, but I think right now I want to eliminate as many man-made ingredients as I can from my body products.

Ok call me lazy but I was not sure if I could read and find out if this was mentioned or not.

Anyway....

Goats milk soap any one?

I second the baking soda method. I even use it as a body wash/scrub, and my skin has never felt better! Plus I don't have to buy 80 different soaps/shampoos/ etc.

Do you make it into a paste for your body scrub? I've actually been wondering about using it instead of the body wash I use, maybe mixed with some epson salts and camomile oil?

[tsukikakushi]

I either just use the mixture right out of my spray bottle & just scrub really well, or if I'm feeling ambitous I'll sprinkle it on a bath poof for a little exfoliating action. I haven't really seen a difference between the 2, but I'm still experimenting a little bit

I agree!
Love Dr Bronner, you can even buy it at Target now. My favorites are the peppermint and the lavendar.
