Cruelty-free laundry detergent?

That and face wash/makeup remover are the next two things I'll need to buy, as I'm replacing things as I run out of them.  Oh, and mascara.

Not Scotty but seventh generation is good! www.drugstore.com/green-and-natural/vegan/qxg104052-0 I think drugstore is 20% off on green and natural products now.

CostCo Kirkland brand makes a cruelty free, fragrance free detergent. They also have Boulder Brands (at least here), which is also cruelty-free. BFP just put out the 'Cruelty Cutter' app. It costs $2.99, but is a great resource for all things cruelty-free. It lets you search by brand name or product type, but you can also scan barcodes at the store to see if the brand is CF.

Seventh generation for laundry detergent.

I use Trader Joe's brand face wash & makeup remover.  They aren't very fancy, but my skin isn't sensitive, they are cheap, and they are cruelty free.

I really love the TJ's tea tree shampoo and conditioner.

I found that CVS carries a face care/hair care product line called Nuance. Salma Hyak actually started it. I just bought the makeup remover and it works great. Also, Burts Bees is cruelty free.

For mascara, I use Physicians Formula Organic Wear mascara. There are a few different options to choose from in that line. Right now I have the pink one (natural origin fake out) and like it.

Ecos

I just started using www.natureofbeauty.com/products/logona-mint-cleansing-foam and www.natureofbeauty.com/products/keys-luminos-moisturizer for my face and holy crap I am pleased. I did not know my face could look this good with just cleanser + moisturizer.

I am of less help on the laundry detergent front.

Ecos. I like it better than 7th gen.

Are there any inexpensive brands? I am on a VERY limited budget but would like to find some CF products. And when I say limited budget, I mean I am buying groceries with gift cards and hoping we can get by.

There are recipes out there to make your own.  The Ecos doesn't look as pricey as some of the others, but still more than Tide.  I don't have a CostCo near me.

I fully realize how lucky I am to even be considering this, and certainly understand that others don't have that luxury.  Which makes it all the more important for those of us who can do it, to choose to.
