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

This is cleaning magic! You can literally use this to clean just about anything. I shower with it, wash my hair, do laundry, mop,, works wonders on soap buildup, grease and grime! Careful with your privates it’s a strong minty tingling action & a little goes a long ways!

We use diluted amounts of this product in our hand soap dispensers (foaming pumps work really well) in our house. If you dilute it to a champagne color, you will not suffer clogs and a little will last you a long time. I also use this for face cleanser, shampoo, and body wash. The peppermint flavor is a nice, refreshing feeling, but the first time you use it on your sensitive parts, you will notice it. After several times, youll be fine. I actually prefer the citrus flavor for my facial cleanser, but I have used both for everything. There are no harsh ingredients and it does the job. You cant go wrong with this stuff. Getting a gallon at a time is the way to go, too, if you have the storage space for it. Its the best deal for your buck.

For years I thought that all that writing on the label was a bit much. However, having tried the product, it is now in use throughout my home. It is a great hand cleaner (remember to dilute it with water). This is a pure soap and the company is very socially responsible. You will be surprised how well it works for most cleaning purposes in the kitchen, bathroom, and throughout the house. I use it as a refreshing body wash and sometimes as a refreshing shampoo. Ive only ever tried the peppermint.

Good product. All-purpose and smells great

Love this stuff

Ive been using this for over 10 years every day. Carry it with me when traveling. Best soap money can buy.

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. 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.

I put this into a smaller container and dilute with water for a body wash since I like the scent and the way it lathers up so readily. Its a good bargain for the quantity and I know this container will last me for a long time.

I have used Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint Castile Soap since 1970 and since never bought any other soap for bathing! For shower I mix 10 parts soap to 1 part water so squeeze bottle won’t clog. Foams up great on a wash cloth or sponge. For foamer dispenser by the bathroom sink mix 10 parts water to 1 part soap and I use it for hands, face and every morning to brush my teeth. I keep a small squirt bottle by the kitchen sink with 10 parts water to 1 part soap mixture for any number of cleaning applications, especially to wash vegetables. I love the invigorating tingle and exhilarating scent of this most wonderful emulsifying soap. After 48 years Dr. Bronner’s gets my recommendation to clean hundreds of dirty, sticky or greasy items indoors and out.

This is one great product! My family has been using these all natural Dr. Bronners soaps since 1969 and even though the formulas have changed a bit over the years, theyre still the best weve ever found. There are so many delightful ways to use this pleasant smelling soap. The label will clue you into just a few of them. Often, a few drops of this precious liquid is all it takes to clean so many things and brighten your day at the same time. We always use this peppermint version as a body wash in the shower (avoiding body orifices, of course,) in foaming & regular hand soap dispensers (diluted at least 4 parts water to 1 part soap,) on toothbrushes (where one DILUTED drop will be plenty,) in spray bottles (again, greatly diluted with water - up to 10 parts water to 1 part soap) for cleaning around sinks & toilets and sometimes as an air freshener. We use it full strength to rub pine sap off our hands, a diluted spray to break down poison ivy oil on the skin and to spray around openings and on counter tops to discourage ants. Reading reviews on this as well as the Dr. Bronners web site will give you many more uses. You simply cant go wrong with Dr. Bronners. Weve sent many bottles as gifts to people, as well, and once they start using the soaps they never go back to anything else. With these types of use, a full gallon easily lasts a couple of years. If I were ever to be marooned on a deserted island, this would be the one cleaning agent I would choose to have with me. :-)
