I like Lush bubble bars - I've been buying them since the company was called Cosmetics To Go, way back in the 1980s. They're expensive, so I save them for treats and break them up so that they last for two or three baths (using a whole one would produce way too much foam, I reckon!). Their "Happy Hippy" grapefruit shower gel is nice too - very good for waking you up in the morning!
I went through a phase of avoiding anything with sodium laureth sulphate (a foaming agent), and while I eventually switched back to a standard commercial shampoo (mostly because my hair is very fine and it's hard to find "green" shampoos that don't leave it feeling flat and lifeless), I still use an SLS-free toothpaste, Aloe-Dent. It's based on aloe vera gel, so I found the texture a bit odd at first, but I soon got used to it. You can buy it in Waitrose and most wholefood shops.
Maybe I should give the new generation of environmentally friendly shampoos a try, when my current bottle of Aussie runs low!
