shampoo and soap

I like to promote companies and products that surprise and delight me and exceed my expectations in every way and here's one in the shampoo and soap department, called Dr. Bronner's Shikakai Soap. These are the same folks that make the legendary castille soaps for decades

Features:

  • Truly organic
  • 100% post-consumer recycled bottle (a rarity)
  • Certified fair trade
  • Ingredients you can pronounce
  • No petroleum derivatives that like you find in most pseudo-green products
  • Made by a great company that actively fights to make the world a better place, not just by selling great products
And to save the best part for last, the product is outstanding and smells great. I've been using their traditional soaps for decades as well as their lip balms and lotions, but the traditional soaps have tended to be drying, especially as a face soap and shampoo, but this new product is fantastic.

They also have some new shaving cream and shampoo, but I have not yet tried either. I'm tagging posts like these with a new label I call best of everything, which I will use in future posts like this.
