Even though you start to smell sweeter and sweeter the longer you cleanse, we still like a little soap once in awhile. What we find we don’t have a need for is deodorant, we just don’t use it. It is wonderful to not need it, and a bonus that we are not using a plastic packaged, often chemical laced product. If you are using a run of the mill, drug store deodorant, this is when you can leave that one behind. Look into getting a natural crystal deodorant or some equivalent from your local health food store.

Dr. Bronner’s Soap is our favorite soap for many reasons. It suds, it gets you squeaky clean, it comes in re-fill-able 100% post-consumer recycled bottles, it has no chemical additives, no animal products, and no synthetic ingredients, it is all 100% organic, and the label is always there to remind us that “We’re all one or none.” It is the only cosmetic we need! If you don’t count sleep, raw foods, and exercise that is.

Take your pick of Almond, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Baby-Mild, Tea Tree, or Lavender. All come in either liquid form or in bar form. Our favorite is the Liquid Peppermint, which really does make you feel minty and clean, watch out! It is great on a hot day or after a hot yoga class, as peppermint has a mild cooling action.
