Dr. Bronner’s - Pure-Castile Liquid Soap (Tea Tree, 4 Ounce) - Made with Organic Oils, 18-in-1 Uses: Acne-Prone Skin, Dandruff, Laundry, Pets and Dishes, Concentrated, Vegan, Non-GMO

Dr. Bonners liquid soap is the best for your skin. I have used the bar soap version of this liquid soap and it is very good for the skin. I use this liquid soap as a body wash (and the bar soap works great to replace shaving cream). I have been using only Dr. Bonners soaps since early 2004. Before then I was using bar and liquid soaps that contain harmful chemicals and animal by-products (think your dead pet that the local animal shelter sells to cosmetic companies; Google terrible touch me nots). Simply put, Dr. Bonners soap are very mild and smoothing to your skin. Your skin will never feel softer and look better. I have recommended this soap to my nephew who has terrible ache. He has just recently told me that Dr. Bonners lavender soap is helping to reduce his ache outbreaks. I use this soap in conjunction with colon cleanses and liver cleanses which help to flush toxins out of your body instead of forcing them out through your skin. Once I switched over to Dr. Bonners soap, stopped using chemical-based toiletries and did cleanses of my internal organs, my skin cleared up completely. It actually only took one month for my skin to clear up, but then I never had really bad ache. Other Dr. Bonners soaps that really cleared up my skin are eucalyptus and citrus - both are excellent but the eucalyptus is even better for making my skin so soft and clear. WARNING: If you have cats, keep tree tea oil away from them!! I have read that it can kill them. Bottom line: Everything that touches your skin is absorbed into your skin and travels throughout your body via your blood stream. Dr. Bonners doesnt contain any harmful chemicals that will adversely affect your health. FYI - I dont use this liquid soap at full strength. I purchased a 16 ounce squeeze bottle from my local beauty supply store that I fill with 50% liquid soap and 50% water which I shake before each use. That dilution ratio is more than plenty to get the full effect from this liquid soap. You can go with 40% soap to 60% water and it works just as well.

I love, love, love how this feels on my skin. It gives just the right amount of tingle BUT, for the price, its way too small. You can get a large bottle of this at Wally World for a fraction of the cost. Also, if you have sensitive skin, Il be cautious of using this.

I remember this stuff from my childhood. Ive heard it referred to as hippy soap. I remember the peppermint tingle. However, it wasnt until 3 months ago that I actually bought my own. I decided to replace my chemical-laden hygiene products with safer ones - relying on the Environmental Working Groups Skin Deep database to guide me to a better place. There were quite a few items that needed to be investigated...I was looking for a price I could afford, high reviews, and low scores on EWGs Skin Deep. So I found body wash, soap, shampoo, dish rinse, laundry detergent, toothpaste...and then I found Dr. Bronners...one product to handle all those tasks. It sure made things easier! Just think about how all of those products are going on your skin at some point...and then being absorbed...multiple times a day, every day, for years...the bombardment of toxic chemicals is crazy and once you start thinking about it you realize how ridiculous our culture has become with no oversight whatsoever. Dr. Bronners carries Champion Status at the Environmental Working Groups website that ranks products based on their danger/toxicity. This means they have signed a pledge to use only the safest ingredients in all their products. On a scale of 0-10 (0 being the safest), this product scores a 1. I think if you averaged the scores of all the products I have replaced with it, youd get about a 5. I now buy it by the gallon and have just purchased my second one (3 months later). Do the math and I think my girlfriend and I will go through about 4 gallons a year with all the uses mentioned here. DILUTE DILUTE DILUTE Body Wash: The standard dilution here of about 20% soap to 80% water works fine. You can adjust to your liking/lather preferences. I had been using a Dial foaming hand soap in all my rooms and Ive emptied those, cleaned them real good, and converted them to Dr. Bronners foaming dispensers. I love the results. It foams up real good and the lather is good. If you want more, just up the strength (reduce dilution) a little bit. You may find this leaves a little tingle in certain spots that will be extra-noticeable with cold water/air - you may enjoy this or not...either way its certainly not a big deal and you do get used to it. The other thing to get used to is that you wont have that slimy feeling on your skin that weve probably learned to associate with being clean. Thats just the chemicals on your body... Hand Soap: Using the same dilution (20/80) and re-purposed foaming bottles, I keep this in all bathrooms as hand soap. Not much to say here and people compliment me on the smell of my soap...even if they wonder what the heck it is! Dish Rinse: Once again I go with about 20/80 in a squirt bottle in my kitchen. Youll be surprised how well it cleans. When you start seeing the bubbles/lather reduce, squirt a little more and keep going. Remember youre never going to get that insane never-ending foam/lather without the harsh chemicals, but youll be surprised with how well it does on its own. I do find that if I wash something and dont rinse it off fairly quickly it leaves behind a little oil slick that is most noticeable on metallic items...but its organic and safe...and if you just run your sponge over it real quick and rinse, its gone. Not a problem at all. Floor Cleaner: Here I dilute it down to like 5% soap, 95% water. It doesnt leave any residue and cleans up nicely - the smell is good too...and its nice to know Im not just filling the air with chemical fragrances than can linger in my home for days. Shampoo: I keep some in a bottle at full strength and pour about a teaspoon in my hand, rub together a little, then put it in my hair and clean as usual...you probably need more if you dont have short guy hair like me. I might try to dilute this to 50% only because at full strength it likes to clog the little opening of the bottle with dried soap. It cleans my hair well and I follow it up with

Have used Dr Bronners since 1970s!! You can dilute it with water to extend the life still with good results. Peppermint is my favorite. You can wash the dog, wash yourself and do the dishes too when youre camping. It is biodegradable and will not pollute streams, etc.

What cant I say about Castille soap? About 4 or 5 months ago I decided to go simple with my cleansers and had always been perplexed by Dr Bronners...what in the world do you use it for? Well, today, I pretty much use it for everything but in my dishwasher Here is a little guidance from me and my daily life: 1. Laundry Detergent for ONE load: 1/4c Dr Bronners (I use peppermint for everything because you get it dirt cheap at Trader Joes: $9.99 for 32oz--YES, $9.99) 1/8c white vinegar. Got a great tip from a friend and put it in a downy ball

Can’t complain

I have used Dr. Bronners Peppermint Castile Soap for over 20 years. It is great as a shampoo and body wash. I also use it to bathe by dog to eliminate doggy smell. It smells great if you like peppermint and will make sensitive body parts tingly cool. You get used to it after a while. If you have normal to dry skin, you will need to use a moisturizer as this will leave your face feeling very dry. A friend uses it for oily skin and it works great. In the 1970s I could only find this product in small quaint shops in California. It was a favorite among the Hippie generation as it was touted as an all-in-one soap for bathing and cleaning virtually anything. It was also a favorite among the environmental/organic/natural groups also. There were no combination shampoo/body wash products at that time so it was a very popular product. I have purchased similar products at major drug stores and retailers but they did not contain the amount of peppermint oil and were very diluted. If I found a better product, you would not be reading this review. The label still looks like a witch doctor wrote it and has not changed much since the 70s. To date, I have not read the whole label but plan to do so someday.

...it was more fluid ounces! I love this product so much but I need more of it! Cleanest clean Ive ever felt

It definitely gets the dirt off your body and I feel very clean after I use this. Deodorant comes off under my armpits with this soap unlike other soaps. I’ve already bought another bottle.

I’ve used this soap for my laundry for years but only recently just added to my skin/hair regimen. I am kicking myself for taking so long!! It’s increased my hair growth and leaves me feeling like a cool breeze. The smell is so relaxing too, def 10/10
