From the Meadows Organics
"Organics Without Chemicals"--these soaps are very pure and get your skin very clean (I've tried a few), while still being gentle. The unscented organic olive oil soap smells like nothing at all, others have a mild fragrance from essential oils. These are not fancy soaps, just good, hardworking, honest soaps that perform a function, like pamper sensitive skin, nourish dry skin, disinfect problem skin, exfoliate, and more. Includes baby soap and bar shampoo.

Plantopia
"Celebrate the wonders of the plant world and give something back." Handmade, vegetable based soaps that "do not contain artificial colorants, fragrances or preservatives, are scented using pure essential oils and colored with natural herbs and herbal teas. Plantopia's soap labels are printed with soy ink and made with 100% post consumer fiber. The same is true for our gift boxes. The decision to obtain eco-friendly packaging was an expensive decision for a small start up organization...made in a desire to hold true to our own beliefs. If you buy three soaps, they will make a donation to plant a tree through the Trees Across America Campaign, sponsored and supported by Earth Day Network and American Forests' Global ReLeaf Program. Soaps are available unscented or with simple, lovely additions, like orange blossom honey that contains real orange blossom honey and is colored with the tea brewed from organic calendula petals. An unusual item is their Sea Soap, which lathers easily in salt water.

True Body Soap
A fragrance-free, dye-free, simple bar of body soap, made from only five ingredients: coconut oil, palm oil, water, vegetable glycerine, and sodium citrate. I tried a bar and both my husband and I love it. And here's some good news--the soap is intentionally priced to be affordable (65% less than other natural bar soaps in per-ounce comparison). Palm oil is sourced from members of the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil. Packaging is made from 100% recovered fiber (80% post-consumer), printed with vegetable inks (and no heavy metals). Care has been taken to use less packaging, bar and box were designed to make most efficient use of shipping space to reduce pollution produced per bar.

Get a Guru Handmade Soap Company
"100% Pure handmade Olive oil soap. No Additives. No Preservatives. No Chemicals. No testing on animals. No Animal products. Your Skin will notice the difference...available unscented and in many unique blends, using only pure and natural herbs, plant extracts and oils...We treat soap making as an art. We are always experimenting with different colors and techniques to keep our soap the finest in the world. As a result the color, texture and aroma will differ from batch to batch. Its all part of the charm." I found this little shop in a village just up the coast from where I live in Florida. They have no labels on the soaps--their name and the price is stamped into the soap! In the shop, the irregular hand-cut pieces sit out in open baskets. They don't give you a bag unless you ask for one. Their blends are unusual and absolutely wonderful--like oatmeal and lavender, vanilla and mint, ginger and grapefruit. Ask them what they have when you are ready to order, as I noticed not all of the blends in the store were on their website.
