Dr. Bronner’s Liquid Castile Soap.

[Str8~Curly]

I want to try the peppermint, or maybe almond one. Do you all dilute this with water as the label indicates? I know I bought this stuff before but I don’t remember If I used it as a shampoo or just as a body wash. Thanks.

 

[VeeJai]

I really should dilute it but I'm too lazy so I just use a little on soaking wet hair. A little goes a long way.

I just brought some castile soap from FNWL. I hadn't decided how I was going to use it.

 

[imstush]

What's the benefit from using this?

What's the benefit from using this?

It's an all-natural soap that can be used for just about everything, including shampoo. No sulfates or preservatives. I used this as bodywash for awhile and I really liked it. I need to revisit it .

Oh ok thank you.

 

[guesswho]

I use this in the shower it's really minty and feels refreshing I never thought of using it in my hair, but it works great on my body

 

[Divine_Order]

Hmmm...I may have to revisit this one. I used this last summer. It feels really good on the scalp!

I luvvvv Dr. Bronners Peppermint Soap. I don't dillute it and I use it as a body wash. It's very soothing. It was recommended to me by my Doctor several years ago and I have been using it ever since!

This stuff is great. I had this exact bottle and used it as a face wash. It kept my skin SUPER clear. It's really inexpensive too! I've just been too lazy to go downtown & pick up some more - and gradually forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me!

I have both the peppermint and almond, and I don't dilute them because I always forget. I tend to use the peppermint one for showering or washing my face and the almond one mostly to clean my bathroom. I tried to use the peppermint one to wash my hair but it was way too drying.

 

[Mestiza]

My friend had some that I used, but I don't recall which one it was. It worked like a serious clarifying shampoo on my hair.

 

[starfish79]

I have the peppermint one and I use it as a body wash full strength, and dilute it for shampoo. I think I put like 1 tbsp/16 oz. of water. The peppermint oil really wakes up my scalp!

 

[Serenity_Peace]

I use the soaps and love them all! As a natural, I used the liquid soap for my hair. I love Dr. Bronner's.

 

[Angelicus]

When I used it, I always diluted it. The Almond one smells yummy

 

[taraglam2]

Okay I definitely want to get some of this ! I think I am going to purchase the Almond one. Once I purchase and use it I will come back and give a review.

 

[preciousjewel76]

I picked up a big bottle of the peppermint this past weekend. I use it as body wash (and to clean my sink and my makeup brushes, LOL), and my entire apartment smells like peppermint whenever I use it! I love that!

It makes your skin feel tingly, too. That said, please use **caution** when cleansing your, uh, "nether regions". Consider yourself warned!

 

[taraglam2]

I just ordered the 16 ounce Almond one from luckyvitamin.com. I am going to use it as a household bathroom cleaner.

Wow ! So the scent really is that great. I ordered the almond but looks like I may have to order again and get the peppermint one !

 

[angelk316]

I used this recently it made my hair tangle really bad.
I love using the Peppermint one. I am going to mix is with CON b/c I love the tingly feel.

 

[crlsweetie912]

I LOVE THIS STUFF:
I use the peppermint on my hair when I need a good claryfying shampoo. As a body wash in the hot sticky humid summers in Maryland! TO DIE FOR. Your skin will feel fresh and clean and tingly for hours! I have to get more, I am almost out!

 

[deontaer]

I grew up on the peppermint soap. My mom used it for everything - a little definately goes a long way. I dilute mine because it's drying to me, but the tingling feeling on your skin is great. I put some scented oils in mine.

 

[The Girl]

I use the Almond one faithfully. As a body wash and shampoo. I had never heard it was considered a clarifer until today. I love the scent and have never had a problem using it in my hair.

 

[mkstar826]

I've used it as a shampoo before and I diluted it. Castile soap can be very drying after a while...

 

[chiprecious]

"Castile soap has a very high alkalinity level, measured at about 9 pH. Skin and hair has a slightly acidic pH level known to be about 5 to 6. Because of the high pH level, liquid castile soap is usually not recommended for washing hair by soapmakers who market it, because it is not pH-balanced and it may cause hair to become dry." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castile_soap

I'm scared to use it on my hair...

 

[PatTodd]

I used to use this stuff years ago. I remember cracking up at the wacky label: "DILUTE! DILUTE! DILUTE! OK!!!!!"

LOL, the label is a bit...different. Dr. Bronner was a bit on the eccentric side, I think.

Oh yeah I forgot to add that I dilute it 2-1. It looks watery but is still very soapy and sudsy. Ok with that said, 9ph huh? Is clarifier supposd to be alkaline or acidic. I can't remember actually and I guess I need to find out the ph of the Suave (the clarifier I bought for clarifying).
