The best soap in all of soapland, September 23, 2007
Been loving the Bronner's for some decades now. The peppermint has only recently been toned down; now I can put it on my nether regions and not tingle to the edge of wincing. If it's too strong, just dilute it in the bottle; it'll still do what it does best: clean!
Yes folks, NOTHING will clean and refresh your skin like Bronner's. Strips off all the dirt but leaves your natural oils. Pure castille soap with zero additives except for the essential oils. Makes you realize how much of a film the artificial soaps leave; dove and ivory are a joke next to Bronner's.
It also is THE soap for hard water areas; this stuff lathers when nothing else will.
A gallon is an amazing deal, lasts forever and is about half the cost of buying the small bottles (Vitamin Shoppe has some excellent deals on many items of many sorts; check their site out). Bronner's is also great for washing hair, cleaning counters, dishes, etc, and even brushing your teeth. Sometimes when I camp it's the only thing I take for all of the above; Dr. B's does it all.
The only problem is it's no good for telling your kids you'll wash their mouths out with soap; it kind of tastes good!
I also love the almond soap, maybe even more than this one. Lavender, eucalyptus, lemon, etc; all are good in their own way. Try 'em all and find your favorite. You'll never use another soap again.
Bonuses include the most entertaining writing on any product label ever; old Dr. B was quite a philosopher and humanist, and his thoughts are special , and written in a unique style indeed.
As well, his family gives away most of their profits to various charities, and his son, who now runs the company, is a wonderfully friendly man who will talk to you and tell you some great stories if you call the company.
This is capitalsim, and soap, at its finest.
Long live the Bronners!

Unbelievably good soap!, February 11, 2007
Dr. Bronner's is really fantastic stuff! I keep find more and more uses for it around the house. We've gotten to the point that we have replaced all of our toxic synthetic chemical products with this! The only thing I find it terrible for is washing windows, it leaves a film and you spend more time removing the film than the dirt! Otherwise, this stuff can easily replace 6-10 products around the home.
Be warned of this Peppermint, even though the peppermint is natural, it is extremely strong smelling. So strong, it can cause irritation for some people. I tried to use it on my floors, while it cleaned incredibly well, it nearly ran us out of the house the smell was so strong. This is even with me diluting it to a massive degree. I would recommend Peppermint for hand soap, dishes, laundry, anything outdoors. But would use something like Unscented, Lavender or Almond for general house cleaning, body soap and shampoo.
We also found this product is fantastic for cleaning our italian leather furniture! Normally we have to buy expensive solutions to effectively clean it while not damaging the leather. This stuff works perfect on it. If you use this in the bathroom for hand soap you don't need any air fresheners after you have a bowel movement. The peppermint quickly overtakes any other odors. We now use Bronner's for cleaning our jet tubs. Before they were very difficult to clean because you cannot use abrasive chemicals, but Dr. Bronner's practically melts the grim and dirt right off them!
Finally, I have dry skin. Up to this point I have been using Ivory Soap and it is horrible on my skin. A couple days of using Bronners and my skin is back to being normal! I love how this product rinses off so easily and leaves no films.

Truly One of Best Products on Earth!, October 15, 2006
This product is by far the best soap for bathing. I use it by putting just a small squirt onto a scrubby, which foams up into a massive amount of suds -I probably end up using more than I need with this method but it's quick and convenient for me. You will notice after using this soap that you don't need skin lotion anymore - you don't suffer dryness, cracking etc. especially caused by mass-produced products full of chemicals. All of the different soap scents are wonderful and have a noticeable difference. Peppermint will truly make you feel much cooler, and is what I use during the summer. Eucalyptus makes you feel warmer and clears your sinuses and I like it during the winter. Lavendar is very soothing and relaxing; and rose induces a happy state of mind. Really! Also this product can be used for tons of other things around the house and is far superior to other products I've used. I always use it to do my laundry since you need so little (maybe 1/8 cup or even less) per load, and no matter how dirty the laundry is it comes out clean, soft, smelling fresh, and without causing any skin irritation from chemical detergents. It's the absolute best for cleaning silks and cashmeres etc. You can clean anything with this stuff. I've also used it very dilute as a pest spray for my garden etc. Possibilities will occur to you as you experiment with it. The product is made by a very nice group of spiritual folks who are carrying on the philosophies of Dr. Bronner as printed on his labels, and they strictly adhere to green practices and ingredients. They've been making this for a very long time and hopefully will continue on forever! Definitely try any of the Dr. Bronner products, they are truly amazing.
