Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap

It means the soap is highly versatile and can be diluted for a wide range of uses beyond just body wash. You can use it for tasks like hand washing dishes, mopping floors, doing laundry, washing pets, or even cleaning produce, provided you follow the recommended dilution ratios.

While Dr. Bronner's is made with gentle, organic oils, it is a very effective cleanser that can be drying if used undiluted. If you have sensitive skin, start by diluting it heavily with water or applying a moisturizer afterward to maintain your skin's natural barrier.

No, the scent comes entirely from organic essential oils. There are no synthetic preservatives, detergents, or foaming agents used in the formulation.

Yes, it can be used as a shampoo, but it is a true soap rather than a synthetic detergent shampoo. Because it is alkaline, many people find it helpful to follow up with an acidic rinse, like diluted apple cider vinegar, to balance the hair's pH and prevent it from feeling waxy.

Yes, the bottle is made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. This aligns with the brand's commitment to sustainability and reducing the demand for virgin plastic production.

It is highly concentrated, which is why it lasts so long. You should always dilute it with water before use; using it straight from the bottle is generally too intense for most applications.
