> 3 dayDr. 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.

> 3 dayTitle: 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. All views and opinions container herein are my own, and are shared with the general public, with the hope that my fellow consumers will do likewise with their own product purchases.

> 3 dayRequires shaking to get to lather properly, I suspect the tea tree oil separates out to some degree, but cant confirm this. Using this in the shower without a washcloth or shower poof is a little difficult and feels like Im using a lot, but I get clean, the tea tree oil seems to do what its supposed to, and theres no crazy list of ingredients to worry about.

> 3 dayThis soap saved us while backpacking in Europe! I am a pretty small person and I needed to lug around everything I needed for 2 months in a 30L pack and this soap was perfect! Multi-use, smells good, and most importantly, effective! It washed our clothes so well (and got stains out that were impossible to remove and really brightened whites), smelled great, and made for excellent body wash (it tingles!). The only thing I would not use this for again would be as shampoo, unless I diluted it a lot in a separate bottle. It did not wash out well and tangled my hair as well as made it look greasy (which is understandable, seeing as the product is made from oils). But for dish soap/laundry detergent/body wash/multi-purpose cleaner, its a godsend. A little goes a long way! In a large sinkful of clothes, I think I used just a dash of it, a little more for laundry machines. It lasted well over the 2 month daily usage, even as a body wash for my husband and me. Now at home we have the huge size, and I still prefer it over stain remover sprays.

> 3 dayI had my hopes high for this soap, and I was not disappointed. I did not try the bar version of this, only the liquid and it is pretty impressive. First thing I noticed when opening the box up is that there are A LOT of words on the bottle. It is some serious bathroom-reading material, has stuff on there not even related to the soap. Forget smartphone poops, its going to be peppermint poops from now on. Next, when using a loofah it builds an amazing lather. Only a few drops will build enough lather to form a beard worthy of Santa himself. What else is good is that when using it, it tingles the body after a few seconds AND it smells just like candy canes. So while youre tingly and refreshed, youll be smelling candy canes for the duration of the shower. So let me summarize all this up in simple pro and con form. Pros: Builds great lather Smells like candy canes Lots of reading material on bottle Tingles Cons: Soap itself is just barely more viscous than water, easy to use too much (if trying to ration) Price is higher than other body-wash Candy cane smell does not last long, and is not powerful once dry

Greater than one weekI 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.
