One bar, a long list of uses. Dr Bronner's Pure-Castile Bar Soap is made with organic coconut, palm and olive oils and sodium hydroxide, none of which remains after saponifying the oils into soap and glycerin, so it cleanses without the synthetic detergents or foaming agents in most commercial bars.
The lavender version is scented with lavandin and lavender extract for a soft, soothing note rather than anything sharp, and organic hemp and jojoba oils are worked into the formula alongside sea salt, citric acid and tocopherol. It is certified vegan and lathers into a soft, smooth wash for hands, face and body.
Because it is concentrated, the same bar stretches well beyond a standard soap. Dr Bronner's lists more than 18 uses across bath, laundry and household cleaning.
Usage directions
- Hands, face and body: lather onto wet hands or a washcloth.
- Hair: rub wet bar soap into very wet hair, lather and rinse, then follow with diluted apple cider vinegar.
- Bath: add 4 Tbsp grated bar soap to running bath water (it doesn't bubble, but still cleans).
- Footbath: dissolve 1 Tbsp grated bar soap in a small tub of very warm water.
- Dishes (handwashing): rub a dishcloth or brush on the bar, or dissolve 2 Tbsp grated soap in about 6L of very warm running water.
- Handwashing delicates: lather the bar in 4L of cold water until slightly soapy, swish the garment gently, soak 10 minutes, swish again, rinse and press out excess water before drying.
- Mopping wood, laminate or stone flooring: dissolve 1 Tbsp grated soap in 4L hot water, dunk the mop and wring thoroughly (avoid excess water on wood and laminate).
