US Home & Beauty items not found in the UK

I've been lucky to find most of the beauty items I used at home in the drugstore chains (Boots & Superdrug)--thank god for my Pantene Mousse for Curls!--but there are a growing number of items that I'm afraid I haven't been able to locate in my 6 months here:

Crest Toothpaste
Cetaphil products (cleanser, moisturizer)
Ponds Make-Up Remover Wipes & other Ponds products
Cover Girl Make Up
Sonia Kashuk Make Up (Target brand)
Coppertone sunscreens
Bullfrog sunscreens
SwimEar (ear drops for swimmers) -- 1/2010 update: finally found 1 Sainsbury's in B'ham that carries it

Also have not been able to find comparable products for these household items:

Goo Gone (removes residue from stickers, etc.)
Swiffer Duster and Swiffer Wet Mop
rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol)
travel adapters that fit USA plugs to UK plugs (the ones here all fit UK plus to something else)
Method-brand liquid hand and body soaps
Dryel (dry-cleaning sheets to use in your own dryer)
Woolite Delicates wash (limited availability in some supermarkets)

Do you have any US items to add to this list?? Let me know....
