Keeping clean all natural & chem free
Can anyone help me out with some products that are all natual that work for keeping clean while riding? I'm not really a big fan of the anti-p sticks in the drugstore with all the chems and scents in them. I'm looking for scentless items.
Like scentless soaps, D.O/anti-p, sunscreen, anti-bac, etc.
Also I'm starting to like it less and less for the sunscreen stuff on the body/face area. The legs I'm ok with. I'd like to know are thier any good moisture wicking face masks out there? No I'm no robbing a bank but I want to keep the sun off the face/neck without the damn feel of the sunscreen. I'm looking towards getting a long sleeve jersey now to keep the sun off the arms and going full glove in the day.
Thanks in advance.

There's some kind of a crystal thing you can buy...it works by being applied daily. Ah, here it is:

My roommate makes her own oatmeal citrus soap.
That's all I use.
Partly because it actually gets me clean without feeling like I have a film of fragrance left on me, but mostly because it's free

Pears soap is good for me.
I don't seem to need deoderant or antipersperant with lots of exercise and avoiding processed foods.
I also don't usually wear sunscreen, but when I'm out for a long time I wear Hawaiian tropic oil with SPF (but it smells like coconuts)
The full finger gloves from MEC are great and are only ~25 bucks (I think they're called "Pro XF"). I've got a couple pairs of those.

I much like Dr. Bronner's Soap. I have the peppermint variety. Taking a shower with it feels great. I have not tried the unscented variety yet.

I'll have to check my local Shoppers Drugmart and see what's there and see the rest of the suggestions here.

I used to use unscented pHisoderm for my face and body, and generic baby shampoo for my hair. Then they changed the formula of pHisoderm, naming the new product "pHisoDerm" and it left an annoying residue on the skin. I haven't used it since the formula change. (sort of like the "Original Coke, New Coke, Classic Coke" thing...don't get me STARTED on that!) Now I use generic baby shampoo for body, face and hair. It works great for me.
