Deodorant:
You can use a lemon wedge along with salt afterwards. Another option is to purchase a rock crystal: http://www.thecrystal.com/. They offer it in a basic rock form along with other holders, however, they come in plastic.
Shampoo
There are a variety of bar shampoos on the market, but the easiest and cheapest shampoo is to take Baking Soda, place into your palm create a small paste after adding water and scrub the hell out of your head. Rinse and repeat. When it's all done, take 1/3 part Apple Cider Vinegar and 2/3 part water and rinse. Use this to rinse your hair more than once. The first few rinses will remove all of the baking soda from your hair and the final rinse will help to rinse and smooth out your natural hair oils.
Conditioner:
Yogurt. It has great properties for conditioning your hair. After shampooing just place some yogurt on your had and work into your scalp. It moisturizes the scalp while also helping your hair obtain a nice Ph balance.
Soap:
Vegetable natural soaps are best because they have high glycerine contents and low lipid contents. Animal soaps cause soap scum, vegetable based soaps do not, it'll also help with cleaning since you won't have to deal with the soap scum.
Lotion:
Anything with high glycerin levels is good. Beeswax and coconut oils have the best properties based on their lipid structures. The reason lotions work is because they create a barrier between the skin and the air so that moisture stays inside rather than leaving the body through osmosis. Therefore the higher the lipid structure the better the barrier will be created. To make either product viable as a saulve you'll want a double boiler and add sweet almond oil, for example, 4T to 3T of either coconut oil or beeswax. This will make either one more pliable. Coconut oil melts at body temperature so you could just take some chips out of a container and then apply to your skin without much effort, the beeswax, not so much.
