Green Personal Care

Here's a website that explains all the chemicals commonly found in personal care products that should be avoided: www.oldworldapothecary.com/articlesyntheticingredients.html. This list covers parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate, petroleum derivatives, petroleum and mineral oils, urea, DEA, MEA, TEA, BHA, BHT, phthalates, and synthetic colors and fragrances.

A note about deoderant: avoid the ones that contain aluminum, which irritates the skin, causing inflammation, which may then spread.

Use unbleached (no chlorine), recycled toilet paper. It comes back to the chemicals.
Some of my personal favorite brands and that I've heard other rave about:

Burt's Bees http://www.burtsbees.com/

Dr. Bronner's http://www.drbronner.com/

Locally, you should check out Alburtis Soapworks http://www.alburtissoapworks.com/.
