> 3 dayOkay, I try and review the majority of the items I purchase on Amazon. I think its a very clean way to help the marketplace decide the pros and cons of any particular item. If more people did it we would all benefit. Reviewing soap… Seems ridiculous, ordinarily I would say that it is, however if you dont have the attention span to read along review just know that you will never purchase another soap that leaves you with a cleaner feeling and a more robust peppermint smell both in and out of the shower. The long version is a bit more involved, this stuff is sold like snake oil… Basically a cure for any mass any time. I practically expect Billy Mays to pop up and give me a long-winded pitch about the miracles of this soap. Theres a very interesting back story to the company, this is in a bunch of millennial hippies that think organic peppermint soap and all things vegan will save the world. This companys been around since the 1800s and they sell exactly the same product that they sold that… Likely with some improvements. If youve ever picked up a bottle and tried to read the nonsense ramblings on the bottle they actually have a purpose. You have to go to their website or Google it to find out, suffice to say its really not worth your time because it has nothing to do with the soap. Heres what you need to know, this is about the only commercially available consumer soap which is sold in a concentrated form. Any negative review that you see complaining about how oily it is or that its too strong is because the person didnt bother to take two seconds and read the instruction about how to use it. The company suggests half a tablespoon of soap heavily diluted in the shower. By that equation your grandkids will inherit the bottle. When I was kid my parents sent me to an outdoors camp where we would backpack and canoe etc., this soap in a smaller container is what we used on the trail. Its completely organic so there was no risk of harm to the local wildlife or plants/ecology and it works better than any bar soap Ive ever seen. As an adult I actually still had my bottle from 30 years ago and it was exactly the same potency today as it was then. When I finished off the bottle I purchased 1 gallon and theres a reason, that I want to spend 50+ dollars on soap? Absolutely not… But the 32 ounce containers are far more expensive when you add them up and buying in bulk. I purchased a four dollar pump for a 1 gallon jug right here on Amazon and I created the perfect system for dispensing this soap. Using a loofah or washcloth about an ounce and 1/2 of this stuff will lather up in a way that you would not believe, there is such a thing as too many suds. The smell can be overwhelming when you first start using this… Youll get used to it and grow very fond of the smell. So above when I said that this is sold like snake oil, I wasnt kidding… If you read the jug/bottle youll see that basically they claim this thing can wash or clean anything. Maybe it can, but Im good with tied in the washing machine and cascade in my dishwasher. Im sure there are some Birkenstock wearing hemp wrapped hippies that actually use this stuff for the 2000 different ways it can be used, I use it the shower and wash my hands. The only thing that I can say isnt 100% about the product… If youre prone to dry skin, youll want to use this every other time you shower. This stuff is like the first time you ever took a shower in soft water and felt like there was still soap on you but in reality you are just clean. We get so used to hard water deposits that when you use soft water you get the feeling like theres still slick soap on you. This is exactly the same, youll have to play around with the amount until you reach a dilution ratio that works for you. I unconditionally guarantee (no guarantee being offered :-)), if you try this stuff you will love it. Congratulations… You just made it through the worlds longest soap review

> 3 dayThis has to be the best soap Ive ever used! Multi-purpose uses, cleaning fruits & veggies, shaving, wiping windows, cleaning multi surface uses. It is large, needs to be dilouted and goes a long. The labeling on the bottle has a lot written about faith and morals which is very interesting for a soap manufacturer to do that. Would be over and over again!

Greater than one weekFor 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.

Greater than one weekPeppermint 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 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!

> 3 dayI 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 dayI really like this soap. I do not use it on my hair as it leaves mine feeling sticky. I use it as a all over body face wash though and I love it. You get out of the shower with an allover tingly feeling and smelling like fresh peppermint. Super great. Downfall of the product is it leaves mad shower soap staining. I will deal with that with the drill attachment cleaning brushes (also found on amazon), because this all natural soap leaves me feeling really clean and refreshed
