Pure Gaisha have some amazing vegan & cruelty free products, so far I've only tried the coconut and vanilla lip balm (so good!) and one of the solid perfumes. They're still sold in the Unleashed store I think.
I bought some of the woolworths green brand - its in petroleum free packaging and it's vegan and cruelty free, but it still has laurel sulphates etc... it's very, very cheap. (like $3 per fructis sized bottle.)
It's not bad, but I'd gotten so used to natural shampoos (and so had my hair) that the lathering and silicone conditioning wasn't so great.
It's a good alternative though, if you can't afford any of the independant brands.
For shampoo/soap I use a soap that's made locally out of oils and isn't tested on animals.
For hair gel/spray I use David Babaii for Wild Aid products. All vegan, all not tested on animals and all petroleum free. Even their hairspray is CFC free. Plus they smell AMAZING!
