My first thought was (and still is)- how can I bath without using soap?


Quite easily; one of my sons has never used any washing products on
his skin, just water.

Janet.



Many of the so called organic or 'pure' shampoos, soap and bath oils
contain SLS or sodium lauryl sulphate (often spelt in differing ways)


the MSG of detergents

I have found only one or two bath products via the Internet, which don't
actually contain it.
It burns my skin and aggravates my sons excema so we try not to use it.
If it dries my skin out it can't do much good to plants.


I saw a bio-degradable liquid soap last week. It was market as such,
friendly on the environment, clean and green etc. A large label said on it
'Danger-handle with care' or words to that effect. It may bio-degrade but
into what is one question and what damage will it do on the way is another.
