oops -- you didn't like the coconut stuff! We didn't pick up on the underlying coconut flavor and wouldn't have associated it with sunscreen -- maybe macaroons... Different strokes. Bottom line - nothing replaces ice cream.
The rest of the family eats the real stuff, and we spring for that little bit more for the one who can't tolerate dairy.

Agree on the coconut-based ice cream. My daughter gave up dairy to help combat allergies (constant congestion and snotty nose). She now breathes more easily, no longer has rubbed-red nose and her skin cleared up! We weren't expecting that one, though a herbalist saw her acne and said there might be something going on with her digestive system.

Anyhow -- she really grieved over no ice cream, and we tried all of the above and more -- the coconut stuff brought her out of mouring.Click here to view comment in original post
P.S. A vinegar rinse following any shampoo is very helpful. Just a dash of vinegar in a quart or two of water. I used to do this and after using a shampoo bar like Liggets. Very low packaging waste with this method.

Food cooperatives generally stock a whole range of soaps and shampoos in bulk -- you can refill your bottle. And generally food co-ops stock Nature's Gate products. Nature's gate is pretty affordable and has a whole range of shampoos and conditioners for all kinds of hair -- tend to herbaly and fresh. And they are eco-friendly, no question. I believe they accept the big bottles back from the co-ops.

By the way - the amount of suds has nothing to do with whether you are getting clean or not. Many not so eco-friendly shampoos add sudsing agents to satisfy that consumer belief that lots of lather and bubbles mean clean.
