and soap if there is someIs organic shampoo the same as biodegradable shampoo?
They mean different things but can be the same. Try going to a store like Whole Foods, Wild Oats (which was just purchased by Whole Foods), New Seasons or other natural stores like that. Or if you get industrious, make your own so you know exactly what goes into it. Just google homemade biodegradable soap and there are tons of 'recipes' online depending on your needs and abilities. I'd include some but there are just too many out there. Sadly I've never tried any but homemade dog shampoo which included glycerine.Is organic shampoo the same as biodegradable shampoo?
If you are going somewhere that requires the use biodegradables, I would suggest you purchase a bar of lye soap and use that both for washing your body and your hair. It will clean you just as well and regular shampoo without all of the build up you get from the additives in commercial products.
It will also take less time to pack and will easily get through airport security. And the best part is that it won't spill all over your clothes if they get too rough with your luggage.
If you need a conditioner after washing your hair, use thinned down mayonnaise, an egg wash, or vinegar. Either one will work wonderfully and are fully biodegradable.
Not always
Organic means it was made with organic material coming FROM nature
Bio degradeble means it can GO BACK into nature with out contamination.
sorry this answer was about the two words not about shampoo as such.
for example we have plastic bottles that weaken when touched by sunlight and this breaks down very quickly ,and so not cause much contamination
This is is classified as bio degradable ,but there is plastic involved which is NOT organic.
On the other hand there are waxed milk cartons which do not break down very easily although could be called organic but NOT bio degradable
A shampoo ,can be organic but chemicals may have been added
so in theory is not 100% Organic ,or 100% bio degradable and with huge amounts will contaminate .
check the part about- Agro chemicals ,and pharmacological`s --a few articles down http://byderule.multiply.com/journal/ite鈥?/a>
There are also chemical free organic shampoos,
which may not foam as well,or keep as long
with shampoos on a field trip we are nit picking here .these are insignificant amounts compared to the whole .
I have grown beautiful tomatoes ,In AFRICA,consistently for a few years ,on the drain from my bath tub ,where the woman washed my clothes with normal detergent .
How ever in Mexico thousands of women do the washing with cheap detergent and they also use a lot of bleach,In the local rivers ,
which are very low because of too much gets pumped out for irrigation, along the line ,and the agro chemicals that got washed in by the rains from the deforested mountain slopes adds to contamination from ,garbage dumped along the edges of the river .
And yes these rivers are in deep trouble
so are the animals that drink there ,some of their bodies can be seen lying on the edges of the water ,as well as many dead fish
and people have skin ,eye and stomach complaints because of it
But don`t lay awake over using either bio degradable or organic shampoo on your field trip,you aint gonna kill anything
i was talking on principal,and you are on the right road
BioNeem has soap and insect repellent

I am sure somebody there can steer you in the right direction for shampoo.(tell them i send you)
organic shampoo? you mean you want to scrub vegatable oil all over your head, because soaps come from fats and oil (organic compounds)!
soaps are pretty natural. they are different from plastic :) you dont have to worry much
Nope. Go to Trader Joes.
