Dont use any of the crap you would find in the grocery store soap section.

I sues Dr. Bronners and love it.

Probably any of the soaps in a helath food store would be decent...

Try the Dr. Bronner's and see what your family thinks. I especialy like the

peppermeint or eucalyptus. (Available at every health food store I have ever

been in.)

No they are not. Read labels. If the label doesn't have the ingredients

then let it sit on the shelf. It is not likely a healthy and body friendly

product.
