i use nature's gate toothpaste, but i tried their shampoo and hated it. i use Jason's shampoo and conditioner, they're much better.

One of our newer members was selling soap from a website but I don't remember who it was. :(

Aubrey's Organics make great shampoos and conditioners. Actually, there are some wonderful conditioners by Giovanni. Jason makes some cool toothpastes and lotions...their shampoos are good too.

Paul Mitchell for my hair...all the way.

Paul Mitchelle is vegan?

For shampoo & conditioner, it's Giovanni for me 100%! I've had great results from all of their products that i've tried so far.
For soap, Dr. Bronner's is good enough for me. I particularly like the liquid soaps, the peppermint variety smells good enough to eat, but lately i've been sticking with the tea tree oil variety as it works best with my skin (the peppermint was a bit drying for me).
For toothpaste, I go with Jason's or Nature's Gate. I prefer Jason's ingredient-wise, but i swear they have some of the nastiest flavors!
I'm not sure where you could order any of these products online, but i'm sure google could tell you where :)

Urtekram for me here.

Be aware: not everything is Vegan, but a lot is.

Since links for ordering have already been provided, I'll just mention the (small) amount of products that I have experience with.

I bought a bar of Kiss My Face soap (vegan per ingredients, unless I'm mistaken) and it made my face break out. I went with an Origins bar that I believe is vegan, and my face has now gone back to normal. ^^;;

I use Nature's Gate shampoo with great success, and it's available at my local grocery store. How cool is that? ^^

I've heard that Aubrey's Organics products are great, but I have no personal experience.

I think that there are a lot of Origins products (but not all) that are vegan. It's something I've been checking in to, because I luuuuurve Origins. *hearts in eyes* ^^;;

Definitely. The whole line. He's even won awards for it. Check out his site.

Oh, and I had written the company that owns TIGE Bed Head and inquired on their products. They wrote me back and said that none of their products contained animal ingredients and they do not support testing on animals. The email was from one of their customer service reps, so hopefully she is correct and not just bs'ing me. I believe I'm going to inquire again and see if I get the same response. I may word my questions differently though however.

I "always" doubht if I'm getting the right information.

Like: Oh, is honey not Vegan?
Oh, is lanolin animal source to?

If I really want to know I search every ingredient on the internet.

Not every one knows what vegan is:

Vegetarian lasagna: ingredients Pasta, Beef stock...........
