Any. Olive or not. I try to live soap-free. Any soap makes our skin very dry. Any. Olive or not. I try to live soap-free.

Soleo sunscreen gets the best rating on the " Skindeep" data base, it's rated at a 0 for toxicity. I REALLY want to try that sunscreen but I'm useing up "Earth's best by Jason" first, it leaves my skin fairly white & the "Soleo" one is not supposed to. Hope that helps:-) Hi Jenna, saffronrouge.com carries all organic products including sunscreen. Soleo sunscreen gets the best rating on the ” Skindeep” data base, it’s rated at a 0 for toxicity.

The best part about it? I recognize and understand all of the ingredients! I'm still looking for an eco friendly/animal friendly sun screen. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them.

I'm off to the library today to check out that book, sounds fascinating!

It's usually <a href="http://www.cardiganmountain.com/" rel="nofollow">this soap</a>, but word got out about my addiction to handmade soaps, and people gave me a whole bunch as gifts. So I've been using those up too. However, my skin loves the soap in that link. I also switched to a mixture of baking soda and cornstarch for deodorant, which seems to work well -- or at least no one has run screaming from me. I've been experimenting with the no 'poo routine for my hair, but as it's crazy and curly, it doesn't seem to like that. Yet. Maybe I'll just cut it off and be done.
