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

I have used Dr. Bronners soap in the past, but this is my first time with this variety (hemp/tea tree). I enjoy using the soap, but the natural fragrance is a bit off-putting. Theyve found several good smelling natural products, like mint for example, so if one opts for the tea tree soap to see if it really is purifying or antifungal, it should not need to smell so medicinal.

Im an avid backpacker and camper. When I learned about this soap, I was excited about all the uses it claims to have, and wanted to try it. So I ordered the tea tree oil version since Ive heard tea tree oil can be an antiseptic, and its nice having that when cleaning out wounds. I took about three ounces on a four day camping trip, and had about 3/4 of the bottle remaining. I used it for everything I could think of: 1) Body wash and Shampoo - The soap left my skin and hair clean, and left a faint, earthy scent. 2) Toothpaste - It cleaned my teeth and removed my bad breath, but it was still soap and I was tasting that earthy scent for a little while afterward. Still, it works if you can take the taste. 3) Worked into a lather it can be a shaving cream. 4) Washed out my pots and pans. 5) Washed my clothes and fabrics of dirt and removed nasty smells. Anything I needed cleaned I used it and it worked with just a few drops of soap, and water. Ive also heard it can be used to clean floors and wash windows, but Ive not tried that yet. I was pleasantly surprised at how many toiletries and cleansers it replaced, and how little I used up when I used it so much. 32 ounces of this stuff is going to last months, even with daily use. This stuff is great for outdoorsmen, campers, backpackers, travelers, or people who want to save money by replacing so many things with one.

Best soap in the WORLD!!!

Whats not to love about Dr. Bronners magic castile soap? Its vegan, fair-trade, biodegradable, and organic. I should say Most of all it works!, but Im admittedly one who is all about the smell-goods; I love the way these soaps smell. Also, It doesnt contain any of those harsh and drying foaming agents. Its concentrated and must be diluted (this stuff will burn your pee-hole and eyeballs, seriously). Dilute! Dilute! OK! A little goes a long way; youll absolutely get your moneys worth. Theres a laundry list of uses for Dr. Bronners and Im always on the look out for new ideas that may benefit me and family. Saying its a multipurpose soap is an understatement. From armpits to dishes, Ive been using this brand for over twenty years. Heres a list (I love lists and will find any excuse to make one) of my favorite uses. Shampoo Body wash A few squirts in the bath (the bottle is nice reading material) Shaving Toothpaste. Peppermint of course. (only in a serious pinch. Its gross, but it works) General purpose household cleaner Laundry soap (again, in a pinch) Soft scrub Dish soap Foaming hand soap Houseplant pesticide (peppermint - It works!) I even wash my car with it! Perfect for travel - its concentrated Perfect for camping - its biodegradable My favorite scents are almond, peppermint and lavender; they smell delicious. My husband likes it when I buy the unscented and add a blend of eucalyptus and peppermint oil. If youve never tried castile soap you really should give it a go. Youll only miss your traditional thick lather at first, but soon realize its a grandeur you can easily live without. Castile soap does lather, just not like mainstream soaps containing additives and surfactants. Dr. Bronners really sells itself. Its a natural, wonderful, high quality soap. At the very least, the incredible scents will make a fan of you. Were All-One or None! *giggles* I love it!

Ive been using Dr. Bronners, specifically the peppermint soap, for about two years. As I continue to try and buy more natural products while also saving money, Dr. Bronners has proven to be an essential product! I use it as a body wash, multi-purpose cleaner, shampoo, and laundry detergent. As a body wash, it really leaves me feeling fresh and clean! The scent is not overbearing and if you use a loofah, you dont need a lot of product. Be aware it is easy to waste a lot of this product because its not thick, so be gentle when pouring it out. As a laundry detergent, it works wonders! I mix the product with White Wine vinegar, as stated on the bottle. It does not leave your clothes smelling like vinegar because you only use a small amount. Ive only used it on clothes that needed a regular wash so I cant speak on if it works on deep stains but with small stains, it does work. As a multi-purpose cleaner, it does the trick. I mix it with White Wine Vinegar, essential oil (I usually choose lemongrass), and a little bit of water. When used, you do have a lingering vinegar smell but that goes ways in a couple of minutes. Ive also made my own shampoo with it, and it leaves my hair fresh. You actually feel like your scalp is brand new !

Dr. Bronners is the greatest soap ever... ive been using it everyday for about 5 years now, and ill never use anything else. I am an ex travelling/backpacker/street musician, and thats when I discovered this stuff... and ive used it for everything from brushing my teeth, to my hair, to my clothes, to my body, to my pets, to my dishes.... EVERYTHING... and its ALWAYS worked out very well. The Rose scent is my favorite, because while in the bottle it smells like Rose petals, but when you shower with it.... it actually smells like Sierra Nevada beer, which has a naturally rosey/fruity smell to it. Its incredible. Dr. Bronners is the first/only soap ive ever used that also doesnt make my skin feel dry and tight. I just cant speak enough to the quality and overall love I have for this stuff. The ONLY thing I would mention to a person new to Dr. Bronners in the way of advice, is that ALL the scents are good, but everyone will have their own personal preference... HOWEVER... people new to this stuff should understand that essential oils are used in these products, and Peppermint is one of the available scents.... which means, if you choose to get the Peppermint soap, you should know beforehand that you will FEEL the Peppermint oils. The other scents dont really have that feel factor.... but, the Peppermint one will make your skin feel cold and tingly.... which, some people like... but.... leave it in your buttcrack for long enough and youll start to feel like someone shoved an ice cube up your butt. I know that sounds funny... but, im 100% serious. If it ever happens to you I 100% guarentee youll start laughing and saying that dude on Amazon knew what was up!. Lastly, the Lavender one is my least favorite, and it is the only one that doesnt smell exactly as advertised. If you buy the Lavender one, you may be disappointed by the scent, but it has a very nice silky feeling on your skin. Hope I helped.

Product order arrived on time, always great delivery service and confirmation by Amazon Prime! Product was securely packaged but hinged flip top cap was broken with sharp edges, probably packaged that way. Although I notified Bronners about it, I ended up using a spare cap I had on hand. Amazon/Bronners needs a better option to allow consumers to replace defective packaging (cap, pump, etc.) but keep the product container without having to return it. Suggestion: create option to allow customer to request replacement cap, pump, etc. Bronners is an interesting company, just reading the compact label copy is an adventure!

The Gettysburg address has 272 words. The label on this soap has many, many more than that. I can recite the Gettysburg address by heart, forget it with all of whatever Dr Bronner had to say. Inspite if it’s Maximum Verbosity on the outside, inside is a delightfully minty liquid Castile soap that, hopefully, is killing the little spikey ‘Rona viruses while you practise scrubbing for surgery like Dr Kildare and singing Hapoy Birthday to yourself. Twice! Doesn’t chap my hands. Goes a long way for the money, so my other parts aren’t chapped either! Use it for other stuff, too...laundry detergent, shampoo, body wash. Just dont brush your teeth with it, no matter HOW ‘pepperminty’ it smells...which is VERY.

Title: Natural Soap, Naturally a Good Choice If you havent used Dr Bonners products before, than youre in for a treat. This was the 1st time I had ever used a Dr Bonners product. I initially purchased this product to test out the many benefits I had heard of tea tree oil soaps having on a wide variety of skin conditions from every day acne to rosecia. My initial impression of this soap was, one of relief as it is organic and did not contain laurel sulfate or sulfides which I am allergic and are so commonly present in many other soaps and cosmetics on the market. I was also very happy to find that it had a minimal scent, which was neither strong nor unpleasant. Many other product reviews for products containing tea tree oil, often complained about the powerful or unpleasant smell; however, that was NOT the case with Dr Bonners Tea Tree Oil Castille Liquid Soap. I was pleasantly surprised that the smell of this product, was one that was both clean and pleasant. Also, while the bottle came with a hefty price tag of approximately $13-$18 a bottle, it also came with an equally impressive product size, which helped to make that hefty price seem a little less oversized and far more understandable. While I had also read other reviews prior to my own purchase, all warning that as a liquid soap, a little bit, went a long way so only a small amount was needed. I was still foolishly unprepared for just how accurate those warning statements were, and just how little soap was needed for each use. Being used to using the many other cosmetic soaps on the market, which I guess all have the se additives to make them lather up. It took a bit of getting used to, when using a soap that did not lather or bubble at all, and which only took a very small amount, that spread so easily, smelled pleasant, and made my skin feel clean. In the end, I think I wasted far too much of my bottle of liquid soap, as I found it far too easy to over pour it, either from lack of familiarity of using nom-lathering soap or from simple misjudgment of the needed amount and/or lack of coordination dispensing from such a large bottle that was slippery and awkward to manage due to its size. However, it was also kind of interesting and neat to have a liquid body soap that could do a double duty, and act as my hair shampoo in a pinch! I tried it a few times on my hair out of curiosity, and while my hair felt clean enough, my hair also felt a bit too tangle-ish, so I would not wish to pass up using a conditioner afterwards to detangle after the shampooing. Overall, I do think there are certain benefits to ones skin from using a soap containing tea tree oil in it, and I certainly want to continue to use Dr Bonners Tea Tree Oil Castile soap, as my tea tree oil soap of choice; however, because I felt like I wasted far too much of my liquid soap, especially considering the cost. I have elected to switch from using Dr Bonners Tea Tree Oil Castile Liquid Soap at $13-$18 a bottle, over to using Dr Bonners Tea Tree Oil Castile Soap BAR SOAP at a much more reasonable cost, and controllable size (and less spill-able bar version) of $7 a bar of soap!! So long as I do not leave the bar of soap sitting and soaking in water (as with any other bar of soap, it would completely disintegrate if left to soak in water), then the bar soap version will take me a far more reasonable length of time to use up, versus the bottle of liquid soap. Plus, I will be or at least I will feel, as if I am far less likely to have wasted the majority of the soap, by accidentally dispensing too much of it each time, and wasting most of it down the drain, versus using it on myself as it was intended to be used. === PROS === * Multiple benefits to skin * Pleasant scent * A little soap goes a LONG way * Doubles as a shampoo * Can also be used as laundry detergent * Unisex, good for both genders * Large Bottle size * Organic/Natural Ingredients == CONS == * Non-lathering takes quite a bit of getting used to * Price of approx $13-$18 per bottle seems rather steep * Too Easy to waste the product by over dispensing the amount of liquid soap * Difficult to handle the bottle and dispense the soap during showering when hands are wet == I paid full price for this product and I receive neither discount(s) nor any product or manufacturer consideration(s) for my review/feedback.

I purchased the 16 oz bottle of this nifty gifty as part of my research for when Im out and about traveling. :) I was mainly interested in how well it cleans the body, how well it acts as shampoo, soap, tooth paste, and cleaning laundry. For the latter, it does very well cleaning laundry. I had a worn down, not so great smelling pair of shorts that I washed with vinegar, but the stench was still present. When I bought Dr. Bronners, I did the same thing and the smell was gone, replaced with the peppermint scent of the soap, which is a welcome addition. :) As a toothpaste? Its definitely more of a function over fashion kinda thing. Has a very soapy quality to it, as one would expect. But hey, it cleans the mouth/teeth, and thats whats important. Just chew some gum or clean your palette with something else if its unbearable. For me, it was fine--didnt bother me. For shampoo? Dont use a lot of it as it does dry the hair quickly. It doesnt last after youve washed your hair and dried it, but the hair will be hard to manage during the process. Overall, Im not very sure if Ill be exclusively bringing this along with my traveling. I think itd be necessary for washing my clothes, so I will have a couple travel sized bottle of this bad boy with me. ;D And itll also be good for emergencies, when I dont have body wash, shampoo, tooth paste, or if I need it to clean something else. I hope my review has helped! Just reiterating, its a GREAT product. But when a person is able to bring as many 3 oz bottles that can fit comfortably in a zip lock bag, theres really no point in JUST bringing Dr. Bronners, which is what I was interested in. :) Its definitely not something to knock points off of this product.
