Dr. Bonners

Haven't used it as toothpaste yet, but it washes everything else very well. The liquid is easy to put into smaller bottles, so you only carry what you need for any given trip.

I read that Andrew Skurka uses it as a tooth paste to save weight.

To find it in Target it is usually in the makeup section, somewhere close to the Burts Bees display.

That's right! The Missus did say something about Burts Bees! Then, of course, I foolishly said, "Why doesn't anybody buy Ernie's Bees?" and she became noticeably less helpful from there on out. Strange lady-factoid #457--ladies love to talk about skin care products... Sesame Street characters... not so much

I remember that. She was lucky that she had gone to get some water...can you imagine laying in the hammock asleep and a bear wakes you up by nibbling on your hammock

Ya know ... I have encounter some "campers" in the woods before that a good squirt of Dr. Bonner's Peppermint to their pack as you walk by them might just do the world some good ... just saying

It's a flat $5 shipping free, unless there's a coupon making it free. Dr Bronner's is very expensive at retail, and whilst I like supporting local stores, I can't ignore the savings.

You can try all the fragrances , by buying the small 2oz bottles for less than $2 a piece.

It's very expensive here in Australia, I just ordered a 59ml and 236ml bottle, cost me $20.00 australian, including postage.

ahem.... be _very_ careful with Dr. Bronner's, especially the peppermint castile. I am not sure about the others. But the Peppermint castile has/had a fairly high content of hemp oil. The electronic sniffers they have for drug interdiction are incapable of distinguishing hemp oil residue from other forms of hemp derived residue. I know this for a fact as I used volunteer in the Federal Prison system through the Chaplain's office. I saw more than one volunteer denied entry due to cosmetics with a hemp oil content. Now that sniffers are used in some TSA interdiction systems one would not want their soap to cause problems. I love the stuff. But I couldn't use it will doing the volunteer work.
