Dr. Bronner's Pure-Castile Magic Liquid Soap - Made with Regenerative Organic Certified Oils- 18-in-1 Uses for Face, Body, Hand, Hair, Laundry & More- Vegan, Non-GMO- Body Wash- Peppermint,32oz

This will be a long review but I think its necessary. It's also very divided. It worked good for general cleaning, not necessarily heavy stuff though. And I loved it on my skin. I didn't try it as a toothpaste, maybe i will one desperate day lol. It helped as a deodorant and killed fleas on my dog. It's rated as a 4 only because I didn't like it as a shampoo. I've read tons of reviews on how people just love it as a shampoo, and complain that people that don't like it didn't give it enough time (they advise at least a week). Well I gave it a week and am now giving it up. I've read you're not supposed to wash your hair every day, especially with a real soap, so that is why I only used it every other day or so. Here is my story: DAY ONE- 1st I should note my hair is shoulder length, fine but fairly thick, & bleached blonde with light reddish brown lowlights. Received Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap & Shikakai Conditioning Rinse. 9pm washed hair with soap full strenth, probably used 1/4 cup, and poured 2-3 tbsp on rag to wash body & face. Smells awesome but loses lather fairly quick. Common sense, but avoid eyes! It dripped in mine a little & burned (yes they were closed tight) but I wouldn't expect any different it IS a soap after all. And any astringent type face treatment does that. Body felt SOOO crisply clean, with a cool tingly feeling. Super cold when you get out of the shower btw lol. Hair felt icky but I had read to expect that, and that the conditioning rinse helped. Mixed 2 caps of rinse with 1 cup of water, per instructions & poured into hair, rubbing in best I could & rinsed out. Result: Yuck! Hair felt waxy, grungy, sticky, took forever to comb out (literally OUT) & you could see the buildup on the comb. Dried gross too. Decided maybe I should have diluted the soap on my hair as instructions suggest (after I finally found the instructions on the bottle amidst the 3000 other words lol) My face looked a few years younger though, very smooth, pretty complexion. Skin wasn't dry at all. Fiance loved it on his skin too, and his hair felt fine. DAY TWO- hair still feels nasty all day. Researched internet & found that shampoos coat your hair with bad stuff & Bronners soap strips all that away, leaving your hair in its natural state (no wonder mine felt so damaged, I thought). Soaps are alkaline so the acidic rinse (vinegar, citrus rinse, etc) is supposed to balance it out and seals the cuticle back for protection and softness. Suggested a natural deep conditioning to revitalize the hair. 3pm-applied conditioning mix to hair (2 eggs, 1/3 c coconut oil, 2T olive oil) rubbed in really good & let sit 3 hours. Loved the way my skin felt after applying it (since a lot dripped & ran down my body) & decided to start using diluted coconut oil rinse on body in shower. 6pm- rinsed mixture out with water only & mixed shikakai rinse (3/4 cap to 1 cup water this time) & let sit a couple minutes then rinsed out. Hair still felt a little sticky but not near as bad. Hair dried WAY better but became a little greasy at roots (prob because of oil conditioning), but it felt a lot better than yesterday, not such a build-up feeling. DAY THREE- Put hair in ponytail & avoided all mirrors. DAY FOUR- Have to go to town so ponytail it is. Planning to avoid mirrors again. Ordered Dr. Bronner's lavender & coconut leave in cream, supposed to add softness to hair. 10pm- showered. diluted 1-2T Bronners Soap to 16 oz warm water & washed hair, that old familiar waxy build-up feeling came right back. Rinsed with 3/4 cap Shikakai to 1 cup water. Dried ALMOST as bad as the first night. Ready to give this up as a shampoo! Still love it as body wash though :) Maybe it's still not diluted enough, some people say only a few drops... DAY 5- 11:30am- cant handle this hair another minute! Hopped in shower, washed hair with water only & rinsed with Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse (ACV rinse) 1/2 cup ACV to 1.5 cups water. Hair feels amazing while drying, but stinks to high heaven, but I don't like vinegar smells. This could work except they only advice ACV rinses once a week. Had a little body to it once dried but kinda greasy lookin again. This is gettin old. Tryin hard to stick with it! DAY 6- 9:30am- at a hotel so just washed with water to avoid using standard shampoo & risking everything I've suffered for. My hair stinks!! I would rather just use a natural shampoo/cond with a few not-so-good things in it than this all the time. It did actually look good after drying, surprisingly, probably better if I'd had a straightener. Put hair up halfway through the day cause it stinks n I'm driving. Creme was delivered when I got home. DAY 7- Giving Bronners soap one more chance as a shampoo. This makes a week. 10am- washed hair with soap, 1 tsp to 16 oz water. Rinsed with 1/2 cap Shikakai to 1 cup water. Used 1 pump of creme and smoothed through hair. It helped with the tangles a little, but build up is still visible on the hairs on the comb that have been pulled out. Dried with that same waxy feeling. Bought Renpure Organics shampoo & conditioner at HEB later (Color safe, No sulfates, parabens, dyes, gluten, phthalates, propylene glycol). DAY 8- Shampood & conditioned with Renpure, used 1/2 pump of creme. Perfection :) Conclusion- Maybe it didn't work because my hair is bleached, if your hair isn't bleached or if you're a guy with short hair this could very possibly work for you. It stripped my lowlights of their color, maybe not necessarily the soap but something in the process did :( I'm looking at the positive side though and deciding that maybe all the toxic build-up from regular shampoo & conditioners is all stripped away now, and I can use the organic brand to maintain healthy hair. I would still highly recommend it for your BODY & FACE, obviously dilute it (a few drops on a wet rag is diluted enough) I even SHAVED with it but you have to use a lot to keep a lather going. I don't use "real" deodorant, I use the Thai Crystal mineral stuff, and it works ok but I noticed it seemed to work a lot more this week, I'm giving credit to this soap which does say it works as a DEODORANT. I bathed my dog in it one day and a few fleas fell off and I found a dead tick on her later, so I will definitely continue to use it as a DOG SHAMPOO, just not as mine. Sorry it was long but I hope it was helpful.

I may be addicted to all things Dr. Bronner's. In a world with too many chemicals in everything, this soap really makes it easy to avoid all of the bad stuff. It is a very versatile and effective soap that can be used for practically everything. Love it!

Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castile Liquid Soap in Rose is one of those little bottles that somehow earns permanent space in your bag. It smells like actual roses, not fake perfume roses, and the scent is light without being overpowering. The 2 ounce size is perfect for travel, gym bags, or testing it out before committing to a big bottle. And if you know Dr. Bronner’s, you know it is not just hand soap. You can use it for body wash, shaving, even laundry in a pinch. It lathers well, feels clean without stripping your skin, and a little goes a long way. For something so small, it pulls a lot of weight.

At the beginning of 2013, I decided I was going to clean up my act and start going natural. After looking up multiple soaps on GoodGuide.com, I found this gem on the site and was intrigued. 18 uses in one, for a cheap price? Can't be true! Oh, yes it can be. After seeing how highly rated it was on GoodGuide, I checked it out on Amazon and the same thing, great ratings. I looked at the reviews and after spending about 30 minutes reading all the things you can do with it, I decided to buy. I ended up buying the Peppermint soap because it was offered Prime and I love it! It smells so fresh and wonderful. I have only personally used this product for shampoo, body wash, and as a hand soap but there are so many other uses for it and I'm excited to use it for everything! My boyfriend has started using it as a shampoo and we both use it as a body wash. I just diluted it (1 part soap to 10 parts water) and it works like a charm. It smells wonderful when it first comes out but the smell doesn't linger after you're done and out of the shower. It does not "sud" like a normal shampoo or body wash would but that's a good thing; it means it is natural and doesn't have chemicals to make it do so! I am hooked on this soap and can't wait to find out what else I can use it for. Because you dilute this product with water it makes it that much more affordable. And, like I've already said, you can read reviews to find out what else you can use it for so it is versatile as well. I have a feeling this bottle will last me a very long time and I look forward to purchasing more; maybe in different scents. Great product and I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone.

This is a standard soap for my body cleansing regimen I use with my African scrubs cloths and my skin is so refreshingly clean

Le savon que j'utilise toujours en trek sur plusieurs jours.Multi-usages,il en faut peu pour la toilette,pour laver le linge,laisse une bonne odeur,et ne polue pas.

Compré la botella de 946 ml de Lavanda, al abrir la botella por primera vez creí que había cometido un gran error al comprar una presentación tan grande ya que el primer olor que percibí fue como el del jabón "Zote", pero en menos de una semana me di cuenta que no es así y que este jabón es uno de los mejores productos que he comprado. La espuma que hace, la sensación al utilizarlo, el aroma que deja y los cambios que he notado en la piel desde que lo uso me hacen decir que es lo mejor de lo mejor. Poco más de dos meses me duró esa botella y ayer adquirí una nueva del mismo tamaño, pero de Menta. Puedo decir que tengo cero comentarios negativos de este producto, es un poco caro, pero vale cada peso y en definitiva lo recomiendo. Ojalá en Amazon se comercializaran todos los demás aromas de este jabón y también los jabones de azúcar de esta marca.

Oh, it's good!! I'm using it as a cleaner rather than a body soap. It cuts through grease and kitchen gunk so well. I have a dog and the weather is awful - this cleans the floor like a boss. I did have to take a couple of attempts to get the dilution right for the wooden floors. It leaves a residue otherwise which means a second wash with plain water. Gentle enough for the walls too. The bottle will last ages and smells great!

Excellent savon multi-usages avec un parfum de menthe rafraîchissant ! Il laisse une sensation de propreté et est doux pour la peau. Très concentré, donc économique. Un incontournable !

Item came with damaged cap as shown in picture. There was no bubble wrap for protection at all.
