Dr Bronners Pure-Castile Magic Liquid Soap Peppermint 8 Ounce - Made with Organic Oils 18-in1 Uses Face Hair

I absolutely love how this body wash makes me feel and the peppermint smell seems to open my airways as I shower with a tingly after effect. I was amazed as I caught a glimpse of the historic picture on the inside of the bottle that depicts Dr Emmanuel Bronner. This design is majestic! Read more

This Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Liquid Soap in Peppermint is amazing. The peppermint scent is uplifting without being overpowering, and it lathers really well even when diluted. I’ve used it for hand washing, body wash, and even a gentle cleaner for around the house — it’s super versatile. Leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed, and the formula is gentle yet effective. Highly recommend! Read more

The very best soap, cleaner, shampoo, etc. you could ever take camping. Breaks down in water faster than any soap after a huge amount of foamy lather produced with just a couple of drops! Great for summer use because it has such a cooling evaporative effect on your skin. It takes a very long time to read the entertaining product label. What a great dog shampoo as well! I put a couple drops of this in my carpet shampooer and it makes everything smell great. If you were to run out of laundry detergent you can use this in a pinch & just takes a tiny squirt. Very concentrated. Read more

I remember this stuff from my childhood. I've heard it referred to as "hippy soap". I remember the "peppermint tingle". However, it wasn't 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 Group's 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 EWG's 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. Bronner's carries "Champion Status" at the Environmental Working Group's 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, you'd 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. Bronner's 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 I've emptied those, cleaned them real good, and converted them to Dr. Bronner's 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 it's certainly not a big deal and you do get used to it. The other thing to get used to is that you won't have that slimy feeling on your skin that we've probably learned to associate with being clean. That's 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. You'll be surprised how well it cleans. When you start seeing the bubbles/lather reduce, squirt a little more and keep going. Remember you're never going to get that insane never-ending foam/lather without the harsh chemicals, but you'll be surprised with how well it does on its own. I do find that if I wash something and don't rinse it off fairly quickly it leaves behind a little oil that is most noticeable on metallic items...but it's organic and safe...and if you just run your sponge over it real quick and rinse, it's gone. Not a problem at all. Floor Cleaner: Here I dilute it down to like 5% soap, 95% water. It doesn't leave any residue and cleans up nicely - the smell is good too...and it's nice to know I'm 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 don't 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 girlfriend's hair did not appreciate this method as much as mine did and so I've 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 don't really need (or I don't, 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 they're soaking into your skin...no thanks. UPDATE: I switched to Dr. Bronner's 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 you're thinking "eww, soap in my mouth?!" I'm 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: don't 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 it's not a problem at all. Two minutes and my mouth is a little burnt - but it's 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 Tom's of Maine for toothpaste mostly for the convenience of not having to make my own. Read more

This is a great soap with quality ingredients, if you ignore the crazy label BUT I really wish that the Peppermint was not advertised for face or body wash since it is highly mentholated (I should have known but did not until after). I did not use on my face but just using in the shower was pretty rough on my eyes and let it be known, Peppermint willlll react on your sensitive areas, so expect some numbing or coldness or as the label says "tingles" (they say this as part of why its for 3+ but this should be a disclaimer for all ages). The instructions also do not say anything about diluting for body wash, and it really should. It took over an hour for the cold numb feeling to go away and I can only imagine how this version must feel for a gentleman :/ Next time, I'm going for citrus. Read more

I have been using this soap for a few years now and love it. I use it in a foaming soap dispenser (also purchased on Amazon) and I think it saves us a lot of money because we aren't buying regular hand soap. The bottle lasts a long time too. I just use 1/3 cup of this soap and fill the rest of the dispenser with water and it works great without all the harsh chemicals. I've also tried the tea tree scent, but my family prefers peppermint.
