Searching for natural kids' shampoos
You may have missed it, but the other day Annelies asked a good Green Week question:
I would love to see a list of all natural, bio-degradeable shampoos for children, where when we hear the ingredients we actually know what it is, yet still tear-free (rules out my favorite brand Dr. Bronners), non-potentially carcinogenic (rules out Johnson & Johnson, but chemical ingredients rule them out anyway), and allergy-tested (rules out California Baby). Unless I am wrong about any of them above? Thanks for any insight.
I've been searching around the 'net for reliable reviews of products that meet all of her criteria, and I've come up empty. I'll keep looking, but in the meantime I'm throwing it out to you. Do you have any natural/biodegradeable/tear-free/non-carcinogenic/allergy-tested kid shampoos (or homemade recipes for same) that you like? Bonus points if it's detangling, too!

Excellent source; thanks! While there are low-hazard kids' shampoos at this Environmental Working Group site, I didn't see any that had everything Annelies wanted. But some get close.

Thanks for looking into this (and it's not just for me, it's for my moms group as well!) and Kayris, thanks for sending the site I'm going to check it out.

I believe that Method just started making babies' and kids' bath products.

I just came across a neat company when I was reviewing sunscreens for KIWI Magazine.
The company is TruKids http://www.trukid.com/.
I am sure I have some other names to share, but let me take some time to make sure they meet all of Annelies' criteria.
