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

We’ve used Dr. Bronners for years!! We use it to mop our wood floors. Because it is oil based it leaves a nice shine. And the ability to pick up dirt on that very dirty floor (3 dogs) is awesome! I also use it to clean my stainless steel appliances- works like a charm! And to clean tables and countertops! Of course we originally started using it as our body soap in the shower! Great stuff! Love the naturally derived ingredients! If you haven’t tried the peppermint in the middle of summer you’re missing out! Incredibly Refreshing at the end of a hot and humid day!

Tech the Moral ABC that unites all mankind free, instantly 6 Billion strong & were All-One! - printed on the bottle along with bunch of other Dr Bronners rantings. Good stuff. So why go with Peppermint? I think Peppermint is the most astringent. Also, Insects dont like it - they dont like peppermint. Rodents dont tend to like peppermint either. Get yourself and your house clean with this stuff and hopefully you wont have to use insecticides in your house. Disclaimer : I do augment the amount of peppermint in my house by periodically using store bought peppermint extract from time to time. Ive been using it off and on for 35 years. Im back to sticking by it again. Pricing here is a bit higher than you will find at a health food store, but, with COVID-19, safer to have products delivered when possible.

Good soap!

I discovered Dr Bronners soap a few years back, and have never gone back to bars of soap or other liquids. I like the clean feeling, the texture, and the way it makes me feel. Especially peppermint. At first it felt really strong, and I had to dilute it with the unscented version, but I soon got used to full-strength peppermint and really enjoy the refreshing experience. I always buy the gallon size because you save so much money. I just pour it into one of the 16-ounce bottles to make it easy to handle. As far as Im concerned, Dr. Bronners Peppermint is the best soap on the market.

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

I was pissed when I bought a smaller $15 bottle and my guest used it all in 3 DAYS! so I bought this huge bottle. I like this product because while its fine to use as is, when the bottle is half empty, I dilute it with %50 water and it works exactly the same and just as good. The peppermint is strong. Great if you have dreadlocks because other shampoos might require a full bottle of another shampoo if dreads are long. This soap has longevity but sensitive enough for all skin types. No its not moisturizing, its more a clean refreshing peppermint soap that clears your nasal and makes you feel refreshed. You need very little of this soap. I suggest using with a loofah sponge

What a mess

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.

Great l liquid soap. The peppermint is a definite eye opener

I have used this soap for over 30 years. It is natural and concentrated.
