Face wash: Jason Red
Body wash: BBW mixed with something coconut-y
Deodorant: Kiss My Face Liquid Crystal (summer fresh scent, which I dislike only because it is TOO STRONG)
Toothpaste: Herbodent (from India)
Lotion: face = Jason Red; body = coconut body butter mixed with mango body butter, which were gifts from two different friends (natural brands, but I forget which ones because I mixed them together in a pump bottle)
Shaving cream: Kiss My Face Vanilla Earth

Countertop cleaning: 50/50 vinegar and water in spray bottle
Floor cleaning: plain hot tap water in Scooba

Car dash treatment (ie, like ArmorAll): simple microfiber cloth
Bathtub/sink cleaning: liberally sprinkle bulk-purchased baking soda on damp surface and scrub with cut-up t-shirt rag
Furniture polish: I think I still have a really old bottle of Old English lemon oil around. I rarely polish the wood furniture we own. I dust it regularly and tend to use a damp rag for any goo.
Dish washing: BioKleen
Laundry soap: BioKleen

Insect repellant: Herbal Armor by All Terrain
Sunscreen: Baby Magic 48 or 50, which has always been effective. (We are using them up...spray is 48, lotion is 50.) I also have Jason, but I got sunburned using my face lotion by Jason (Red line with SPF 15 or 30) and the Jason minerals sunscreen (layered, applied an hour apart). I'm not excited to try that again. I burn easily. The Baby Magic uses titanium dioxide as the sunblock and I always have preferred physical blocks such as titanium dioxide over chemical sunscreens.
