I always use products that are on PETA's list of companies that don't test on animals. Are any of you familiar with The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics?? Check out www.safecosmetics.org and www.cosmeticsdatabase.com. Please let me know what you think.

I love these sites!  I use them too and recommend them to friends.  It's kind of cool to see someone take the shampoo out of their shower, type it in, and see what the results are.  Then soon they'll start grabbing everything they own and want to replace all the real yucky ones!

can anyone recommend an organic/vegan bar soap for the shower?

My company is both on The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics website - all products rate a 0-2 (mostly 0-1) and we are on PETA's list because we do not test on animals either. We handcraft all of our products in small batches and we even have an organic garden in Montecito, CA where we grow herbs for our products. Check us out htttp://www.goldenpathalchemy.com
It is very important that we avoid these toxic chemicals and become empowered consumers.

I like Pangea Organics. Their bar soaps are great!

lush.com has AMAZING bar soaps for the shower, as well as vegan solid shampoos (incredible)....definitely check them out!
