Greater than one weekI mix with lavender Dr. Bronners and my family is hooked. Ive ordered for my mom, son and daughter. They mix and love it too. I wash my hair with and have used it to clean a doggie accident or 2. suds so only need a drop or 2 in water. The best! I just hope it doesnt go up in price.

> 3 dayI like this product a lot and really appreciate that the gallon bottles are available online. Ive used this soap for about 30 years - and the best way that I can describe it is that it makes me happy in the morning. For those who have never used this product, it might take a little adjustment. The peppermint definately gives you a little sensation that you dont get out of a lot of soaps. After a little while though - nothing else will do. From the all natural ingredients to the healthy amount of suds - this is a great product. Prior to buying the product online, it was always difficult to find in the stores. I would be able to find the smaller bottles in a store for a few months, then they would be gone from the shelves - seemingly forever. A few months later, they might appear in another store. Now I just purchase the big bottle and refill my smaller bottles as needed. Much easier and Im much happier!

> 3 dayPeppermint is my favorite of all scents. My only complain is, too watery. When you add water to dilute it makes it worst. We use it for everything but the bath soap goes through really fast even when we put it in a foam pump.

> 3 dayI 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. UPDATE: Maybe down to 2 gallons/year now that I use Dr. Bronners Sal Suds as my laundry detergent instead. 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 squire 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 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 Dr. Bronner - Organic Shikakai Conditioner Hair Rinse, 8 fl oz liquid. My girlfriends hair did not appreciate this method as much as mine did and so Ive switcher her over to Yes to Cucumbers (or Yes to Carrots) shampoo and conditioner which is great as well! Laundry Detergent: I keep a gallon in my laundry room and put about 1/3 cup for an average large load. I adjust up or down depending on the size. I augment it with some baking soda which is really cheap. At ~$50 per gallon this is more expensive than your typical Tide chemical gallon but once you factor in that you dont really need (or I dont, at least) fabric softener, the price difference is not as large. If you wash with the chemicals you have them on your skin all day long...every time you sweat theyre soaking into your skin...no thanks. UPDATE: I switched to Dr. Bronners Sal Suds. Seems to be a bit more effective and less costly...albeit not quite as organic. Toothpaste: this is the only other time I use the product at full strength - and I may well dilute it a little soon. I like about 3 drops on my wet toothbrush. I know what youre thinking eww, soap in my mouth?! Im not sure how the other scents would work but with peppermint, I had no problem with it. With just the three drops, it foams up quickly and feels and tastes clean. Brush as normal but one warning: dont take forever. Peppermint oil, especially at full strength, can burn your skin a little if left on too long. I find that if I brush for about 1 minute its not a problem at all. Two minutes and my mouth is a little burnt - but its not the end of the world and heals overnight. This is why I am considering going with a 1:1 ratio of soap to water and using like 6-10 drops. UPDATE: I switched to Toms of Maine for toothpaste mostly for the convenience of not having to make my own.

> 3 dayUsed this since growing up but a couple if time now these just survive the trip. I give it a 50% of getting there intact and if you do have problem Amazon says that it isnt a returnable item. Im glad the AI chatbot disagreed. Some work to do. The shipping and returns before I buy this again on Amazon.
