natural raw vegan product lines?

JustMe · #1 12-07-2007, 08:25 PM

ok. guys. i need some help w/ recommendations for product lines esp. ones i can find at a target or cvs.

whole foods is about an hour to me, & i don't prefer ordering online.

- dr. bronner's is the only line i think i can trust, but they're not available anywhere near me.

i've also heard of "Tom's Of Maine" products, but the toothpaste has fluoride in it, which i read was not very suitable.

So i'm not sure about that line, and it says "natural." from being on this forum, i learned not to be too trustful of labels... that i must read the ingredients, but i don't know all the harmful ingredients yet.

"Kiss My Face" is also very available to me, but i'm not sure about them either. any recommendations?

- lip balm/chapstick (chapstick also has a natural line out. what do you guys think?)

burt's bees would also be a no-go for me, b/c of the beeswax. vegan please.

DB! Thank you! I'm checking the site out right now!

MR - I've never heard of Kirks!

I'm glad to hear they're available at your grocers. Now I know another line to keep my eye out for!

I'm still excited that I found the crystal salt deodorant at my cvs today. I never knew they had them for sale before.

I have a bias belief that major retail stores wouldn't carry the natural stuff, but they do. It's just that I have to learn what to look for.
