Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes!, April 15, 2009
This review is from: Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps Pure-Castile Soap, 18-in-1 Hemp Almond, 32-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
I have been making strides towards a more ecofriendly lifestyle for a while and have really been wanting to try castile soap. I have heard that it can wash anything that needs a mild touch and, being made from oils, won't dry your skin out. Well, I finally took the plunge and ordered some from Amazon. It arrived yesterday and I immediately took a shower with it. I was impressed beyond what I thought I'd be.
First off, let me start by saying I have hard water. I began my shower by putting my usual squirt on a washcloth, thinking it would probably require even more than chemically-based soaps and I would come back for more. Well, that was my first mistake. The lather that built on my washcloth was so thick and creamy, I actually had to pull some off, every so often, and throw it at my feet. The lather was unbelieveable, even past the hard water!
Next, I took a deep breath and decided to try to shampoo with it. It's a thin soap, so I was only able to put a quarter-sized puddle into my palm. Turns out, my palm is a good indicator. Three seconds after I started rubbing that small ration onto my head, I had a lather so thick that I could barely feel my hair.
As a shower gel and shampoo it's performs like a champ! A little goes a long way ... and I mean a very long way. My skin is soft and my hair is fluffy and every part of me smells like exotic almond oils.
Later on, I decided to take a bath since I was cold. I squirted some of this into the tub and discovered that they mean it when they say it has no foaming agents. No matter. My hopeful bubble bath turned into an almond-water soak. As a bath soak, it was even better than any beads or salts I had ever used. It was a calming scent, the water was soft and silky instead of my hind end rubbing against the undisolved crystals of other products, and my bathroom has a lingering aroma that even made spraying after a visit to the toilet unneeded.
All in all, as a bath and shower product, it will take you from scalp to toes and smell great. Next, I may try washing some of my clothing in it!

Sensational gentle soap w a sophisticated fragrance, November 8, 2008
This review is from: Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps Pure-Castile Soap, 18-in-1 Hemp Almond, 32-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
Great soap. I don't care for peppermint, which is Dr. Bronner's best-known soap. Their almond soap, however, is really impressive. It gets you clean, which is the most important part, rinses easily, all that basic soap stuff, and it has a wonderful, sophisticated fragrance that seems to go on and on, not a harsh or cheap smelling perfume.
I once used Bee & Flower Ginseng soap, and this Dr. Bronner's almond soap reminds me of it as far as sharing an exotic, sophisticated scent. Dr. Bronner's soap will actually CLEAN you as well as smell nice.
Very highly recommended. Every single guy ought to know about this soap. I'd never wear cologne but the extremely subtle scent left by this soap could practically come with a must-get-laid guarantee.
Wonderful stuff. Wouldn't want to live without it. Soap is basic and personal and Dr. Bronner's almond soap is a suave choice. I absolutely love it.

This review is from: Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps Pure-Castile Soap, 18-in-1 Hemp Almond, 32-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
Cleans great, smells great and rinses off easily. We have been buying this soap for years and unless gets to expensive we will keep buying it. A little goes a long way and it lasts a long time so am looking forward to many years of buying and using this soap
