Expat, looks like you can get it online here. Just look under the products, they've got peppermint liquid soap there.

thanks, i already get it online, but what would be nice about getting it in a shop is that you can take the jug back in and refill it.  well, at least you would in Whole Foods.

Shannon, the Whole Foods stores in the UK go under the name Fresh & Wild. They are eight of them (I think) across the UK and have only recently been bought out by Whole Foods.

The only one I've been to is the Bristol store, and I was a tad disappointed. I used to shop regularly at my big Whole Foods in the US and it wasn't really anything like that. I'm hoping the new builds will be better!

They are opening one in the near future in Kensington...the future head of this store came to visit my school to send them here in the fall.  It looks as if it's going to be very nice. (and perfect location as it is the land of well off Americans)

How do the prices compare to the 'normal' grocery stores? Or even just a reg stores organic stuff? We'll be in Bristol...and I soooo want to go but cant spend a fortune on food :( But when it comes time to make baby food I will go all organic no matter what. ;)

i get mine from here: http://www.21stcenturyhealth.co.uk/productdetail.asp?category=Body+Care&prodid=110

b/c i buy it once a year by the gallon. 

it takes a year to use the entire thing and i used it to clean just about everything in here, except for a spray i make from a kim & aggie recipe for surfaces.

Expensive.  That's what I think anyway but I am pretty cheap when it comes to grocery shopping.  I still go there, don't get me wrong, because I support the concept and also prefer organic/health foods anyway, but there is definitely a price differential.  A lot of it is due to supply and demand - the demand is lower for these items so they can charge a premium for them.

500ml water, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, .5 teaspoon washing up liquid, 1 tablespoon bicarb of soda and a teaspoon of borax in a spray bottle.  I add a few drops of tea tree and orange essential oils as well.

I don't use wipes on surfaces, just spray this stuff and wipe w/a clean dishtowel.

In Boots, in the washing powder section.  That's where I get it.  It comes in a white box.
