I use shampoo and conditioner from Avalon Organics quite happily.

You need to be careful with Lush - not all of their ingredients are natural!!

I've also used shampoo that needs no conditioner from http://www.essential-care.co.uk didn't use it for long enough to try no conditioner though.
And I can't for the life of me remember other brands I've used apart from Faith in Nature. I like my current conditioner though and always come back to it - even get compliments from complete strangers on my hair when I use it!!

I use Faith In Nature too, and Lavera sunscreen, it's mineral based so possibly not ideal as a face cream but really you won't find a natural sunscreen that's invisible from the outset. I generally go for sun avoidance and a gradual build-up of exposure to avoid burns.
