Right now, I'm using "Nature's Best" Tea Tree Oil shampoo and an unscented Hemp Oil bodywash-type liquid. Anyone have any input into these or able to suggest any other vegan brands/products?

I like Jason's body wash. It's great.
I like Kiss My Face's soaps, and I'm really digging the early to bed body wash.
Nature's gate shampoo and conditioners are pretty good too.

For shampoo and conditioner, I use Citre Shine. For soap, I use Kiss My Face Olive Oil soap. For my face I use Cetaphil (fragrance free).

Oh man, I could review just about every vegan soap out there. :) My quick favorites: Avalon Organic Botanicals shampoo and conditioner. They work *marvelous* but they come in funky scents - such as Rosemary, Mint Thyme, and Lemon Verbana. Not the kind of stuff you typically want on your HEAD. But if you don't mind your hair smelling like Thanksgiving stuffing... Go for it. :)
Currently I'm using Ecco Bella shampoo and conditioner. I think it's a good happy medium between smelling good, sudsing up nicely, being pretty much organic, and actually working. I was using Aubrey, and some other very natural ones, such as Tom's for a while... but my hair just wasn't getting clean after a shower.
I would also like to plug ShiKai's moisturizing shower gel, which is the most amazing thing in the world and leaves my skin clean and incredibly soft. I just want to sit there and stroke myself when I'm done showering.

I like Alba hair care a lot. I also like *anything* (besides the bee product items) from Kiss My Face.

My wife and I use Dr. Bronner's soaps and Aubrey Organics shampoos and conditioners.

Right now I'm using Arbonne's Daily Self-Adjusting shampoo and conditioner. (Ordered from Rincaro.)
They are marvelous, absolutely marvelous, but a little pricey. ^^;;
Less expensive options I've liked are:
Citre Shine
Freeman's Binge shampoo (I used Hair Preserves Color Keep shampoo)
Nature's Gate Organics Lavender & Aloe (all kinds are vegan but this is the only one I tried).
Um, and that's all. I have also used Origins Ginger Burst, but that's also a little pricey.

I use Jason Vitamin E Shampoo and the Sea Kelp Conditioner.
I alternate with Sun Dog Hemp oil Shampoo and Conditioners in the orange / lavendar scent.
Soapwise, I use Jason body washes, or just plain old Kirk's Castile http://www.kirksnatural.com/htm/castilebar.htm
or Kiss My Face Olive Oil, unscented soap. That's about it!
ETA: Yes, someday I want to try some Arbonne stuff but it's expensive no?

Right now I'm liking the Lamas chinese herbal shampoo. It's one that cleanses the scalp. I alternate between that and Paul Mitchell.

Right now I am using Lamas rice protein shampoo and conditioner. It works pretty well. I also use the Lamas vitamin C wash on my face and body.

is Dove a vegan shampoo? I love their products, but I don't know if the ingredients are something to worry about. Anybody have input???

Check the ingredients on the bottle. I don't think it's vegan.
ETA: Definitely not vegan. The one ingredient that popped out at me when I checked their site was Silk Amino Acids.

Plus Dove tests, last I checked.

I use Arbonne shampoo & conditioner and the cleansing gel in the shower. I call it the "shiny hair" shampoo. Don't make me post a picture of my hair. :p
I'm also very much in love with the Kiss My Face Grape Jelli bubble bath/wash for kids. I ordered some for the boys for Christmas when they had the shipping special. But even regular price, it's only $6, and a little squirt makes great bubbles. The boys love it!

For soap, I use Kiss My Face Olive Oil soap.
This is the best soap, hands down. The *only* soap that my sensitive facial skin can handle. For my body I like the soaps from ... dang, I can't remember the name now. Something with "river" in it.
For shampoo I use Nature's Gate rainwater henna (my fave) or Jason's jojoba shampoo (not my fave, but I like saying the word "jojoba!").

I'm cheap so I never tried any of the expensive vegan stuff. Lately I've been using Trader Joe's vegan soaps.

I used the KMF olive oil soap before i switched to Arbonne. It dried me out really bad, and the drying effect just made my oil glands overreact.

I couldn't use KMF either. Broke me out in a bad rash. Beauty Without Cruelty Cleaner works for me for when I just want to wash my face inbetween showers.

Over the weekend, I bought Kiss my Face creamy face cleanser ....'obsessively clean for a day' ... so says the bottle. No rashes thus far. I'm not real fond of the scent, but its alright. I also tried Toms natural deodorant. Its obviously not soap, but I really like it so far. Honeysuckle rose ... smells good :)

I ADORE sparta soap (www.outworldarts.com/store) They make the best soap. It's all hand crafted with very basic ingredients. All the soaps contain a base of olive oil, which makes it super moisturizing. Great scents and prices too!

I've been using Sanibel shampoo & conditioner..I just bought Avalon's lavender face wash (before I was using just a veggie based bar soap), Aubrey's blue green algae moisturizer for day and pure coconut oil at night.
