Dr. Bronners - Pure-Castile Liquid Soap (Peppermint, 1 Gallon) - Made with Organic Oils, 18-in-1 Uses: Face, Body, Hair, Laundry, Pets and Dishes, Concentrated, Vegan, Non-GMO

What a mess

I have been using this soap for 10 years and unless someone make a superior product I have no reason to change to another product. Here is an honest review: The problems I have with this soap are 1. It contains palm oil which, if not grown correctly is bad for the ecosystem. As I understand the manufacturer uses sustainable techniques but I cannot say one way or another. 2. The sodium hydroxide will make your stainless steel sink slightly dull. However, I found that adding a drop of dishwashing soap fixes the problem. Those are my two problems, otherwise, for cleaning and bathing this soap is invaluable. The reviews claiming that the soap is watered down are incorrect and probably posted by competitors. The gallon size jug generally lasts a year or so in our house. I distribute the soap in small pump containers at a 1 to 4 ratio (1 part soap, 4 parts water) for bathing and light cleaning. For the bathrooms I leave it at full strength. The peppermint aroma will irritate your eyes if you use too much but at least you are confident that it is strong enough for bathrooms. Given that I promised an honest review, I should mention, for those with sensitive skin the peppermint is too strong for bathing unless it is greatly watered down, probably a two table spoons in 12 oz of water or use a very small amount. Instead, my wife and I exclusively use the unscented or lavender for bathing. At any rate, this soap is not watered down and by the way, it does not contain pesticides-laden ingredients. It is effective and less harsh on the environment than similar products. For those with kids and/or pets, you can mix this soap with 100% peppermint or eucalyptus extract to make a safe but effective insecticide (1 tsp of oil extract, 1 tsp of soap and 8 oz of water). Sure, it is not as effective as raid but it does kill on contact within a minute or two and, unlike raid, it is not a neurotoxin. If you have never used this soap before, start with a small bottle and if your experience is not the same as my experience you have not lost too much money.

Use tjis to clean everything. Great product

I absolutely love Dr. Bronners!!! I just started using his soap about a month ago and Im extremely happy I switched!! I own a home/ office cleaning company and use ONLY Dr. Bronners soap for practically everything, except glass/mirrors. My family loves the Peppermint, Almond & Lavender scented soaps, theyre tingly and make you feel cool and clean, and in my opinion, the peppermint scent is out of this world! We use these soaps for everything but brushing our teeth. Maybe one day Ill be brave enough to try it... ;0) I tried it as a shampoo on my long hair and it felt weird, I cant explain the feeling, but after shampooing I used Aubrey Organics Rose Mosqueta conditioner and my hair felt wonderful, & smelled wonderful too. If you do use Dr. Bronners soap as a shampoo youll definitely need a good conditioner, (in my opinion). It really is a wonderful product with way more than 18 uses, not to mention the gratification you get knowing your saving the planet!! I recommend it to anyone and everyone that is willing to listen! If Amazon allowed me to give more than 5 stars I definitely would!

I shower with this liquid soap and it really makes me feel squeaky clean

Good

There is nothing better than smelling peppermint on all of our clean clothes, in our bathroom, and throughout our house - we use this soap for nearly everything! I wash clothes with it in an HE machine and its perfectly fine. I scrub our tumbled marble tile in the bathroom and it elevates my mood so much I dont actually mind cleaning that room. I use it to wash our floors, scrub our sinks, clean my cabinet fronts, wipe down our lawn furniture - essentially everywhere that I would need a soap product to clean it where I use this product. There are many other scents and you can also buy bar soap for the shower (we love the tea tree oil bar soap best or the lavender one for the kiddos) and if your kids ever get lice, I strongly suggest you get a bottle of the tea tree oil castile soap for their heads (after you get rid of the lice it will help keep those buggers away!).

It’s that simple. Just buy it. The product will speak for itself.

Ive been using dr. Bonners peppermint castile soap since I was a teenager. This saved me money and I could refill my bottles around the house. Some of my uses Plant spray Veg and fruit cleaner Dishes General cleaner Because you dilute it to different streths, this size is pretty economical.

Been using Dr. Bs since the 70s. Same great product for decades. The Icon of castle soaps.
