I've also started using shampoo bars and conditioner bars in order to eliminate more plastic bottles. Unfortunately, the soap and conditioner bars aren't locally made but I still think it's an improvement over the liquids in plastic.Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06661705838389866476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-76557882974466453952011-10-27T16:20:59.019-03:002011-10-27T16:20:59.019-03:00Although we have been known to have pump hand soap...Although we have been known to have pump hand soap around, mostly for ease of use by guests, I have never seen the attraction of body wash. I think a lot of it does have to do with the fact that they are so heavily fragranced (I'm not a fragrance lover other than fragrances of foods an flowers - actual flowers, that is, not essences). <br /><br />My current favorite bar soap are Kiss My Face olive oil soap, and a shampoo bar that I cannot recall the name of right now. Neither have any fragrances and both are very gentle.<br /><br />Alyson, thanks for the tip about the soap bits. Do they leave a residue in the pot, or just wash out?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-85575853594076417952011-10-23T02:52:04.984-03:002011-10-23T02:52:04.984-03:00i couldn't agree more! i love going to my far...i couldn't agree more! i love going to my farmer's market and saturday market and talking to the soapers :) the one that i love makes one that smells like chai and another like mojitos, i want to eat it! plus it has lots of grains for exfoliation and doesn't come in any paper. lots come in boxes with just a price tag out there to avoid even the paper :) thanks for encouraging this, i've never been a fan of hand soap myself but i know a lot are - including my current tenant who uses Meyer's handsoap and it's this lemon verbena that is so pungent (not in a good way) that it hurts my eyes!EcoGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04856550147714231721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-6769289723243647822011-10-22T04:35:45.339-03:002011-10-22T04:35:45.339-03:00And for the ultimate in eco-soapiness, collect all...And for the ultimate in eco-soapiness, collect all the tiny bits of soap when each bar reaches the end of its life, keep them in a tub, then one day heat them up in an old saucepan, add some essential oils or colouring, stir it all around then form it into shapes and leave to cool! Bingo, your very own soap bars. (NB they do tend to fall apart a bit though.)Alysonhttp://alysonyoga.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-59639324588211849812011-10-21T22:54:29.016-03:002011-10-21T22:54:29.016-03:00I love soap bars!!
