	There are many varieties of soaps made exclusively from vegetable
sources (fats AND glycerines), some of which are also made without
animal testing - Mill Creek and Weleda fall into this category. One source
for several brands of soaps, shampoos and cosmetics is InterNatural,
PO Box 463, Baker Hill Rd, S. Sutton, New Hamster 03273. They carry
Tom's of Maine, Bach Flower Remedies, Aubrey soaps and deodorants,
Green Ban (the herbal alternative to flea powder) and lots of other
stuff.
	By the way, all castile soap is made with pure olive oil and
always has been.
