I'm in love with this product. Acutally, I'm in love with most products that actually have multiple uses. Dr. Bronner's has EIGHTEEN of them. I only use it for 4-5 of those uses.
The one's I have used:
Tea Tree Oil: I hate the smell of the product, I hate the smell of tea tree in general. So yes, they put real tea tree in it and if not STRONG, but any tea tree smell turn me off. Plus, it left a residue every time I used it! (I hear it better for shampooing)
Peppermint: YES! I love this one. If you live in a hot, humid place then get this since it'll will cool you down. However, I wouldn't use it in the winter months. It makes you colder and can be a bit drying on your skin. It's a great tingle when using it!
Lavender: I love the smell. I love the product. I love lavender! It's a true lavender smell, not the cheap commercial smells.
1. Liquid Bath Soap
I have a intense dislike for all bar soaps. Most of them will leave some type of scum or residue on my skin, I haven't tried Dr Bronners bar soap and I have no desire to until I'm too poor to afford his liquid. Which won't happen since liquid soap I use now lasts me about 8 months to a year. What did I say? Almost a year? For 15 dollars? YES! All it takes is about a quarter size amount of this stuff for washing your body; it foams beautifully with less. If you're looking for an all natural soap which doesn't dry your skin out, say hello to Dr. B. I'm a lifetime consumer for his soaps. Why?
I'm really dirty. No, not in the "I don't take a shower for weeks" kind of way. My body will naturally collect and build more bacteria on my skin than average. Which means I get musky faster and just dirty. And most bathing products aren't strong enough to clean my body. Dove, Caress, etc are too moisturizing to be cleaning even with a exfoliating cloth. Dr. Bronner's one swipe and I'm clean! Well, I don't have to bath twice over my whole body. My skin doesn't feel dry and I feel wonderfully clean and fresh for longer, specifically when I use the Peppermint.
2. Shampoo
Eh. I didn't like as an shampoo at first, its too clarifying and it stripped my hair. But I was using it wrong, haha. You're supposed to use like a teaspoon per 8 oz of water. THAT was a whole other product! My hair was little stripped, but other wise healthy. If I ever have serious build-up, Dr. Bronner's is a good shampoo to use. I love bathing my dogs with it diluted, nice shiny coats! (I still love my Nubian Hertiage and Obia's Shampoo Bar too)
3. Stain Remover/ Laundry Soap
Yes. Just, yes. This is amazing as removing stains. It's not as strong as Dawn, but it works very well at cleaning your clothes and sheets. I feel safter using this than other chemical ridden cleaning types. I tend to use vingear as well. Overall, very well. Apparently, the Lavender is very good with silks? I heard it in the grapevine.
4. House Hold Cleaner
Can the people say AMEN! This will CUT through anything you have for it. I actually enjoying cleaning more since I can get it down faster with Dr. Bronner's Soaps.
I seriously cannot advocate his product enough! I've used the Peppermint since June of last year and I'm only half way done.
Love you guys,
Nami
