So I know I'm replying to this, like, a year later, but I think this is worth saying anyway. This is a BIG reason to buy handmade; in addition to supporting someone earning a living wage (we hope) from their craft, you can more or less guarantee they won't be bought out by a corporation. Plus, usually you can have a nice conversation with the person who's making your personal care products and get definite answers about very specific concerns you might have. Etsy.com is a good place to start -- there are several MDC mamas who sell things on there, even.
It's worth bookmarking the
Coming Clean Campaign and
Skin Deep to look up information about nationally branded personal care stuff.
