Hi Everyone,

My local health food store/shop doesn't stock many products when it come to:

Laundry Detergent, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, deodorant, sunscreen and shaving cream.
Can you tell me what brands you use  - and I will order it online

I am going to pick up sunscreen and lip balm next week when I get to California but I realize I cannot bring a ton of stuff in my suitcase :)

 

Thank you,
Amanda

Seventh generation free of dyes and perfumes cleaning products- order from vitacost.com or iherb.com
 
Tide free laundry detergent
 
Method free and clear liquid hand soap-order from above websites
 
Bomasense olive oil soap for showering and shaving
 
homemade deodorant - 1/2 tsp each baking soda, cornstarch, and olive oil mixed totogether
 
For bathroom cleaning, use Method brand products (can find at Target) or make homemade using vinegar and lemon juice. There are lots of recipes online for homemade stuff.

Realy Purity Sunscreen SPF 15, but that has to be ordered from the website Realpurity.com  Another one that can be gotten at most drug stores is Coppertone Sensative Skin SPF50 or Coppertone Water Babies Pure & Simple SPF 50. Real purity has a slightly lower toxicity rating than Coppertone, but they too have very low ratings on the environmental workings group website (ewg.org) 
Dishwashing Liquid - Planet Ultra Dishwashing Liquid (Whole Foods)
Bomasense olive oil soap for showering and as a face wash (I love, love, love this product)
Just bought the Bomasense shaving cream but haven't tried it yet.

Hi- were these sunscreens ok'd by Dr B?
 
I would love to be able to get one that wasn't as white and messy as the bomasense but I want to make sure she specifically said they were ok.
 
thanks

Deir, no the sunscreens have not been approved by Dr. b, but I have an appt coming up and I will repost what she says about then.  I am not able to use some of yhe Bomasense products due to an ingredient used frequently in many of the products that I am unable to tolerate, so I have had to find alternatives.
