Hey, folks. So I used to be vegan, from when I was 13-18, when I went to college, went back to being vegetarian for 3 years, and I'm planning on switching back to a vegan lifestyle/diet soon.

Anyway, I have a few questions about hygiene products:
1) What toothpaste do you use? I remember the brand I used to use got bought by Colgate, or something like that, and I'm not sure what companies make vegan toothpaste anymore. For the record: I will probably only use it if it tastes like peppermint.
2A) I've been using Cetaphil bar soap for a while because it's the ONLY thing I've found that tames my backne (eww)..Vegan, y/n? (Their website doesn't really give a specific answer, but it looks like no.) If not, does anyone have any recommendations for a replacement soap that would work for that? Preferably something that WON'T make me smell like a flower or a piece of fruit.
2B) I also use Cetaphil on my face. If it's not vegan, anyone have recs for vegan face washes that'll keep my skin from being a hot oily mess? I've heard good things about Lush -- are their products really worth the $$?

And another completely unrelated question: are there any animal by-products I should look out for that weren't being used 3 years ago? I remember all the stuff I used to avoid, but if there's anything new I should look out for...

Thanks in advance

products-face wash etc, products-soap
