I am in my 60's an have been using Dr. Bonner's sonce I was 12. I always wash my hair with Dr.B's because it throughly cleans my hair and scalp like a clarifying shampoo but without stripping it and rinses out throughly. I also wash fruit and vegetables with it as well, for decades and use a 1/3 soap to water solution. I use it for hand washing delicate clothing. As for the dog, I would check with a vet because some breeds are more sensitive than others. Good vlog, thanks
@@jeanbornstein7968 The essential oils in dr bronners is less than 2% it's not enough to cause any damage so you could use the peppermint one on dogs NOT cats The peppermint one is amazing for killing fleas
I've used Dr. Bronner's to wash my hair, only a few drops. Maybe only once a week, followed with an intensely moisturizing conditioner, as I find this method of shampoo can be a bit drying. I've washed a load or two of clothes with it, and it gets the job done just fine. I've also cleaned my sink and toilet with this, in addition to a couple drops of grapefruit essential oil. I'll definitely be cleaning my makeup brushes with this tonight. Thanks for the tips!
I recently started using Dr Bronners and I'm completely obsessed!! I didn't even know it was so amazing or popular when I bought it. Prior to purchasing, I was strolling along in my local Walgreens. This was several months ago and I looked at one of the bottles... I had seen these soap bottles dozens (maybe even hundreds) of times over the years, but until then I had never picked a bottle up to read what all that writing was about. As soon as I started reading it though, I knew this was something I had to try... I didn't get it right then because they only had the large bottles and I didn't plan to buy one. So I waited until I found a smaller bottle on sale. The first time I used it was just to try washing my hands....I could tell there was something magical going on with this soap right away. So I took it in the shower to try as a shampoo. I only wash my hair 1-2 times a week so it can get a bit oily at times. The oiliness requires a small pre-wash and a second regular wash because the oils kind of 'eat up' the first bit of shampoo, lol. Well, this was not the case with Dr. Bronner's. Even though my hair was indeed oily enough to soak up any other shampoo for my pre-wash, Dr Bronners suds materialized immediately, just like they always do. And as you said, they don't last long, but they rinse out so easily and you get that clean feeling right away. I'll never understand how they've done this with the simple ingredients in this soap. I followed up with a very small second shampoo and was pleasantly surprised at how my hair felt and how manageable it was once it dried. I don't blow dry or anything, but I do add a bit of mousse to my fine, long, straight hair while it's still damp. Once my hair dried, I had nice volume and texture. It was quite shiny & manageable as well. It did feel different than usual, but it was a good kind of different. I rotate almost every time I do a shampoo so I'll definitely add this to my rotation. I can't wait to try it on makeup brushes!!! I've used it on my plants, only in a slightly different way & with excellent results. I have a spray bottle with measurements and I add ½ tablespoon of the liquid soap to 16oz. tap water and spray all over the leaves, dirt and pot. The results were better than using a homemade neem oil mixture.... And it smelled a whole lot better than the neem also 😂 I checked inside my little humidity tent the next day and the whole environment inside was just cleaner and brighter. It worked extremely well in that regard and I haven't seen any aphids since!! I'll also use that same spray bottle solution as an all-purpose cleaner for small, daily messes. I have the Lavender and want to try the Peppermint or Rose next. I should also say that I did use it as a body wash the same time as I tried it as a shampoo and it did work just fine. However, I do like my luxurious sudsy body washes so I prefer to use something that lasts a little bit longer as far as suds go. Additionally, my skin tends to feel a little bit dry after Dr. Bronners rinses off. Body washes with richer lather aren't as drying so I prefer something else for body wash....but it certainly does work, and there are probably plenty of people who would prefer that type of fast & immediate clean, dry feeling. The last thing I tried it for is shaping and holding eyebrows up in a feathered, brushed up position. Results were incredible. I didn't even have what you're supposed to have, which is the Dr bronner's bar soap, so I just used the little bit of slightly hardened residue around the lid of the liquid soap. There are some great tutorials here on UA-cam that show the technique I'm referring to, but I personally loved the results that I got. Again, I used the little bit of hardened residue from the liquid formula, so I imagine the results would be even better if I did have the actual Dr Bronner's bar soap. Sorry to write a mini novel here but I hope that somebody gets some good info from this and decides to give it a try. I've been saying it over and over for the past couple of weeks that this stuff is truly magical 🌬️🌟⚡🩸🙌🧚🏼🧜🏽♀️🔥🌵🌴❄️🌈☄️🦜🦦🐙🐚🐝🦋🍄🦄🐉🕌🗿🏛️💉💉🛸👽🧬🧫🏺🗝️🔮
I use it diluted with water in a spray bottle to clean the windows. Perhaps 1 part to 10 parts of water. You can increase or decrease the percentage. When cleaning the windows or anything glass (stove top etc) just spray it on and wipe it dry with paper towels. Fantastic finish, and non-toxic. Shower screens come up cleaner, so do tiled floors, and even car windows. I love this product and use it for almost everything. Thanks for your video, make-up brushes are yet to try.
I am relatively new to castile soap. I have used the baby (unscented) formula to wash my car. This is my absolute favorite use for it. I don't use the scented ones because I don't know how the essential oils that are in it will react with the paint on the car. I don't use a lot and it foams rather well. I have used it as a body wash, and a face wash, too. I would like to try cleaning with it as well. I haven't had the chance to do it yet. I don't recommend using it for your hair if you have dyed hair, because it will strip your hair of the color. If it's right before you are going to color your hair, that would be fine, since you can use it as a clarifying shampoo.
I made my first purchase of Dr. Bronner's Soap (1 Gallon). I originally bought it to use with my herbicide and insecticide blends. I used to farm in California. Your 1:1 solution with a foam spray pump works really well in the shower, washing hands etc. I appreciate your breaking of the code for easy use.
Just started using it. I love how it makes my pots and stainless steel sink super shiny. It almost reminds me of Murphy’s oil soap. The unscented is the only one I use.
I like the Dr Bonners Tea Tree blend. I am really susceptible to fungal infections, ringworm & athlete's foot despite my cleanly hygiene. Any time I am exposed to a fungus (I work in an animal hospital so I am exposed to ringworm all the time) I will use it to bath & wash my hands so it's less likely that I will get the infection. But if I do have the infection it helps to clear it up faster in conjunction with antifungal creams.
I used it undiluted on my bathtub when I first moved in to my apartment. It had a nasty film all around from lack of scrubbing from previous dwellers. It removed it on contact. My husband was not impressed he had just bought scrubbing bubbles to the the tiles and there was a lot of scrubbing on his end to remove the gunk. I however just had to wipe and rinse 🤣.
I found this video super helpful. It taught me new ways to use one of my favorite multi-use soaps that I didnt think about before. I am glad i found this video.
If you want to o use it for your hair, I would recommend that you add a spoon of aloe Vera and oil since the soap itself needs some type of oil. There's a dermatologist here in UA-cam who explains why. I've been using that shampoo for months now and it does wonders
lamoskgr Moskow I wash my hair wish coconut milk and aloe Vera and dr bronzers. Also use dr bronzers to make my hand sanitizer which is food grade alcohol and dr bronzers and essential oils. I don’t use dr bronzer on most dishes cuz it leaves a film because it’s designed to use on your skin....I use it to make my eco friendly baby bum wipes, which is witch hazel, olive oil and dr bronners.
I use the Baby Unscented, diluted 1:5 ratio, for hair washing. At first it was a little weird but then your hair takes to it. This with a ACV, 40/60 mix got rid of my scalp eczema!!! Use the almond as body wash , peppermint and lavender as cleaners!!!! LOVE them all!!!!
Thank you for the great video. I just started using the Tea Tree scent in a pump bottle for hand soap and I used three pumps for a face cleanser since tea tree is great for problem skin. I noticed while using this that it’s much softer on my hands but I also add distilled water instead of water from my faucet due to my water is really hard. I’m going to use it for a whole lot more things especially for my rabbits (houses) BUT I’ll use the unscented one. I just ordered from their site the green tea, unscented and cherry blossom. I’m kinda addicted to this stuff and want a lot of different scents for different jobs. Later on I’ll buy the gallon size. It’s amazing how many things you can use this stuff for.
She is speaking so clearly that I feel I could hear what she is saying in spite of the second language to mine. I saw Dr. Bronner's soap in the Insider's video for the first time. (edit) I corrected some grammatical (?) errors.
A question I've had for a long time about Castile soaps: during rinsing and before drying with a towel, my hands seem to have a slippery film on them. I assume that that is from the oils. Should it be rinsed off completely, or left on, to nourish and/or protect the skin? If relevant, I live in a region with soft water.
How come the labels you've shown in the video didn't say HEMP? I'm in the USA, Maryland specifically and all the Dr.Bronner's products sold here have HEMP in it.
Thank you so much for the educational video but ? please , can I use the Dr. Bronner's tea tree to wash vehicles ? I can't find any info if you can or not recommended . Thank you again .
Truthfully, you are the one whose gotten off the fence about using Dr.Browser's castille soap. I used to see it in stores and wondered about all the writing on the bottle? My sister (many years ago) used to use the peppermint scent. But every time she washed with it, for some reason, I couldn't tolerate that scent which was crazy because I love the taste of peppermint? Teas,gum, candies etc. Anyway? I came across this video and gave this soap another try only a different scent. (You guessed it) baby unscented also almond because I love sweet and warm scent and I don't have sensitivities to scents. All this to say thanks because of your demonstrations made me want to try this soap and it's a pretty good soap. Have you ever try goats milk soap? My recommendation is Beekman 1802. Only? I don't know if it is available in Canada. If you ever get your hands on that product, you'll be in for a treat. Google and see for yourself. Thanks for reading this long comment. 😏
Wow! I am glad to hear about the brush cleanser! The mass marketed brands are sooooo expensive and it takes so much to clean them with mass marketed brands.
Have been using DB for years! Not a good shampoo for me; I look like a fuzz ball when I get out of the shower. I didn’t like it as a dish detergent but ***they make a product called SAL SUDS***. This product is the answer to all your cleaning prayers. Mix it with baking soda to scrub your pots and pans without scratching. Use it with vinegar to clean your floors and bathroom. Use it to pretreat, and then wash your laundry. Life changing.... Thanks for the great video!
Dr. Bronner's Soap... I've used it for 20 years, started as a biodegradable backpacking soap. Now I use it for body and hair in a 1:4 ratio (bottle 1/4 of Dr. Bronners and the rest water) and even 1:8 works fine. I like the way it rinses off. I've even used it for toothpaste, one drop (of the diluted) on the toothbrush and our mouth foams like a rabid dog...but don't touch your tongue to the soap if you can help it.
Thank you! I bought mine from Joyous Health (in Canada) but she's changed up the one she's offering on her website. I found a similar one on Amazon, which is a bit more affordable than what I paid. I've linked it in the description box. :)
there are many video,s on youtube how to mix dr bronners for laundry, one is by Diego and Hollie Ortiz 1 cup of dr bronners, 2 cups arm & hammer washing soda, 32 cups of water (2 gallons) 1 tsp esstential oil that is a lot of laundry soap, if you have a large family the shelf life would not be a problem, there are many other video,s for different amounts. Let us know if you do the laundry soap and how it worked,. Thank you
Nancy Browning ooohhh Thx! Was about to look this up, I’m doing a no buy year and using all my commercial products up then switching to everything I can made with Dr Bronners. 💜💜
Toilet cleaner it works well, I use Doctor woods because it’s cheaper and it’s less evasive in strength so it less irritating to my skin. It also is less thick . I was very surprised at Doctor Woods it is great too. I like the tea tree because it has Rosemary extract. I use it for dish washing and the Nano sponges and nanotechnology towels I feel Castile soap of different brands can be budget friendly just as good!
Very cool, I had no idea but I'll def check into these. I recently discovered my local Walgreens stocking the Dr. Bronners bar soaps and a sugar based liquid body soap which is made just for skin. So far I love it. It has the rich lather that the original castile soap is known for, but the lather lasts a while longer and rinses off just as easily without a bit if dryness felt on skin... You don't need much, only a few drops, but I do wish that either the price was lower or the bottle was bigger lol. $10 is a lot but, to be fair, such a small amount is necessary, it should last a long time.
My home is never without this soap. It’s so so good. I keep a diluted solution of it in my shower for my intimate area. The rose scent is my go to. No irritation and doesn’t disturb PH. You’ll thank me later.
Kellyanne R Do you use only the Rose scent for your intimate area? And, what ratio do you recommend for diluting? I've seen so many users saying that it's very irritating to use in that area, and advises not to do so. Rachel Pierce
Rachel Pierce I’ve been using this soap for my intimate area for YEARS and I’ve never had any issues. For every capful, I add five capfuls of water. My husband uses it as well and he has no issues either. It’s super gentle. I wash my face with it as well. I love it. I prefer the rose scent, but I use them all. I tend to use the peppermint to shower in the summer time because of the cooling sensation. Try the baby scent for the intimate area too. You won’t be disappointed.
These are all excellent tips! We've never had Dr. Bronner's soap at our house, but a shop I worked at over 10 years ago swore by it! (P.S. I don't know how I got 2 months behind on your videos, yikes!) xo
I use Dr. Bronners to wash my dishes and I also have hard water. It’s a common misconception that you need to have suds in order to clean. Products that produce a lot of suds are often made of harsh, toxic chemical detergents. I’m going to also try Sals Suds, which is also made by Dr. Bronners and is supposed to be a better cleaner for hard water applications.
Sal Suds is amazing! I use that for my household cleaning. I agree with you on the suds, but since I put Dr. Bronner's in a foaming hand soap pump, the foam IS the soap. Once that's gone, my dishes stay greasy.
Kelly Switala if you read the ingredients on Sal Suds it sounds like it has the same type of chemicals used in regular soaps. The ingredients we are always trying to avoid. I just looked at the bottles in the store the other day. I think that’s why it works better. Just FYI.
Thanks for this video. Such great suggestions, as I love Dr. Bronner’s and now have multiple uses to implement. 😃 Also, I have to ask, Where did you get your dry brush? I love it.
Thank you so much! I purchased the dry brush from Joyous Health, but she has since switched the one she has on her website. www.joyoushealth.com/3375-product-dry-skin-brush I haven't been able to find one like mine, but I wish I could as I highly recommend it! I will let you know if I end up finding something similar.
I cannot get an answer to my question anywhere. Can’t I use the dr bronners Castile soap undiluted on a wet sponge to wash my dishes? Once you add water to something it opens up the chance for bacteria to grow. Micro bacteria too that can’t even be seen. If i’m washing dishes in running water anyway (and i’m always wearing gloves), why can’t I use it directly to wash the dishes without pre diluting it. I understand it doesn’t need preservatives on it’s own, but once water is introduced to the product then it changes the rules. I just want to know if it’s an absolute must to pre dilute, and what the issues would be if I used the Castile soap to wash dishes with only the running water to dilute it on the dishes themselves - like regular dishsoap
Lisa Bronner, Dr. Bronner's granddaughter, has info on her blog on what happens to the preservatives in the soap when water is added to the liquid soaps. It's either in a blog entry on in the replies.
It's popular among backpackers. Back in the day I used it. Wash hair, brush teeth, wash face, wash dishes, wash clothing, and body wash. Honestly it wasn't particularly good aside from how it's multipurpose. I still use castile soap however I use it really just as hand soap.
Dr.Bronner's Sal Suds is an excellent round the house cleaner - laundry - dishes etc & is highly concentrated- so good for a dilution solution. Been using his products for over 4 decades & love that it is an ongoing family business since the 1800's. Also love all the cosmic messages on the label - & they also have fantastic toothpaste. 🤗
Vreni Yahnke okay, maybe not at your walmart. but that’s where i got my bottle.... for $13. next to the $9 equate castile soap. they also carried the dr. bronners rose, peppermint and lavender soap which were about $16.
@@mstwelvedeadlycyns most fruits and vegetables from the super market are coated in a food-safe paraffin to make them look shiny. You don't need to wash it off, but some people prefer to. You can is Dr. B's or you can let them soak in a gallon of water with a cup of vinegar mixed in. Dealer's choice.
The bottles should have a code printed near the bottom. For example, one of my bottles has this code: 18135 5715 - the first set of five digits is the Julian Date Code and the last set of four digits is the lot code (which you can ignore). My bottle's 18135 means it was manufactured on May 15, 2018 (first two numbers represent the year and then the 135th day of that year). I've read online that it's recommended that you use castile soap within 3 years of the manufacture date. I just recorded a video on this: ua-cam.com/video/mA15Kpq4_pw/v-deo.html
From Wholefoods market I got Dr. Bronners liquid castile soaps in the largest bottles the peppermint one, lavender one and almond one, you like the same ones as me I first started using this one when Isaiah's mom said she loved it and used it and have been using it ever since she mentioned it as a body wash, I dilute it in a foaming pump for a hand wash, use to wash my Aveda Flax makeup brushes and other makeup brushes, and twice a week I use literally one drop to wash my eyelids with diluted, one drop is good for regular eye makeup wearers when properly diluted cleans well and the rest of the time I use a moisturizing face cleanser Aveda creme cleanser and in the hand foam pump I wash fresh produce and cans off with Dr. Bronners too before opening cans, groceries at Wholefoods, Pirates Booty aged cheddar snack... I have tried Dr. Bronners as a laundry detergent it's ok but I prefer Mrs. Meyers Honeysuckle laundry detergent or any others by Mrs. Meyers hers smell so pretty
I do a lot of knitting and use the pure Castille soap for washing my wool hand knits - it’s perfectly gentile for washing all delicate hand washable items.
Hello from GB 🇬🇧. I've taken to using Dr.B to wash my cats face 🙀. He's an old man & cannot be bothered to do it himself & gets a bad build up of eye bogies, he's a real lazy git! Just a quick swish round, very diluted, with a muslin cloth makes him handsome & smell of roses.
I've tried a few different dilutions in the past but this one works the best for me. Sometimes I add a little less soap, moving toward 1:2 (i.e., 1 part soap to 2 parts water).
You can use it to wash dishes it’s wonderful to cut the grease it’s the only thing I will use and I mix thieves household cleaner with it and a few drops of essential oil and some water into a glass spray bottle and make a household cleaner out of it. I’ve also used the bar form of it and grated it down and made laundry soap with baking soda, washing powder and borax added. Then Ive used the bar soap to take a bath and I’ve loved it but you have to be careful that it will not dry out the skin too much.
This sounds great! Can you tell me what recipe you use to mix the thieves, Dr. Bronner's and the essential oils? That mixture sounds almost perfect for anything!
I just found your channel and ❤️❤️❤️. Dr Bronner been around long time and pretty much use for all kinds of cleaning, funny did not use for makeup brushes 😩I use on face and body and pets. Thanks for sharing and will use on my brushes.
I bought mine from a Canadian website called Joyous Health but she no longer has this one. There are a bunch of options on Amazon if you can't find anything locally.
Yes!! I’ve been using Sal Suds for years to clean my home. I’m currently using it daily, as I’m in the middle of my 30 days to spring deep cleaning challenge :)
My hair can't stand it. The tape water where I live is very hard so if I use soap to wash my hair, it turns out awful. So before using it on your hair, check your tape water hardness. Face wash in a pinch is ok but I have other things which are more gentle. It won't replace my toothpaste, the horrible soapy taste lasted for hours 😭 Ok as a body wash but definitely not the best. Ok as dish detergent but it's really expensive (about 10€ for a 240 ml bottle, 24€ for a 940 ml bottle) where I live so not economical. Haven't tried laundry yet but same things to note as for the dish detergent. I don't have any pet. I do use it for washing my hair brush. It's OK. Hand wash is also OK but I have access to gentler things for around the same price (liquid Aleppo soap). As for general cleaning, I have cheaper alternative. In short, I will use up my dr bronner's but won't buy it again unless I have not other gentler alternatives. It is readily available in most countries.
I have eczema and have been using Kirks Castile soap. They would only sell bar soap where I purchase it from (Albertsons) but It says that they also have liquid varieties online but I’ve never seen it in store. It’s so good on my hair I have hard water as well and the packaging says it works in all types of water. My scalp is no longer itchy or flaky with this soap it’s been a life saver for me.
To get Bronner's to work with your hair you are going to need an acidic rinse after washing hair. A 50/50 mix of water and either lemon juice or Apple Cider Vinegar. You need an acid to cut through the soap so that it will rinse and come completely off the hair strands and scalp. I found this out from Lisa Bronner many years ago after emailing the company asking about it. If you don't use an acidic rinse then your hair will be filmy.
Grace La Rock I did notice when I was at the store that Sal Suds seemed to have more ingredients and I wasn’t sure they were all natural. You might want to do a comparison with your other Dr Bronners products and see if you notice the same. I think that’s why it’s more soapy.
@@dianasimplifies It is a little different, I watched a video from Dr. BRONNER'S granddaughter. It is natural. It is even more concentrated. The smell is my very favorite of all of them. I have used Dr. Bronner's for 27 years now, I can't believe it. I bathed both my children in lavender. ❤️
@@dianasimplifies and If you are interested, I found this: Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds Liquid Cleaner is not a soap but instead is a concentrated hard-surface all-purpose cleaner. It is made with plant-based surfactants and natural fir needle and spruce essential oils (no cheap, harsh pine stump oil), without any synthetic dyes, fragrances or preservatives.
Grace La Rock oh ok I compared ingredients at the store and pretty sure what I saw on the bottle wasn’t all natural but if you are happy with the product that’s fine, wondering if they have changed things up a bit bc I saw stuff that’s in regular soaps. The sulfates I think. I would have to look at it again but it wasn’t pine or whatever you mentioned. That wasn’t what caught my eye right off the bat.
I have only been using it to wash my makeup brushes. I have been using it straight form the bottle, though. I never thought to use it diluted for that! It would work so much better that way because right now I have a hard time rinsing it all out.
I feel your pain -- trying to rinse out all those suds is a tedious process! I could also be that my water is a bit harder, but please do let me know if the dilution works for you.
@@AuthenblissityMain My water is quite hard as well. We have well water! I need to dig out my foaming hand soap container that I saved and mix some up!
Almost a little embarrassing to say but I’ve seriously never consider the pop tops on cans and possible contamination. I mean how many people have touched that can lol
I usually just use it to wash my hands, and sometimes my makeup sponges. I may have used it for a spot treatment on laundry a couple of times. I use 1/4 to 1/3 and fill the rest of the soap dispenser with water. I tried half and half, but it made my hands really dry, and wouldn't dispense/foam up right. I've had Lavender, Eucalyptus, Peppermint and now Citrus. I think I'll get Almond next. I've read a little about growing/farming palm oil being bad for the environment, but not enough to make a decision about it. I also don't know of another product with so many uses, so I'm going to stick with it for now.
I don't think I've heard or read that about palm oil... hopefully I can remember to look into it. I feel like many ingredients and products have environmental impacts, and it's hard to navigate the research, particularly when the research is conflicting. I sometimes worry that if I switch, there will be hidden ramifications with using a new product. I just try to do the best I can at any given point in time, so I understand what you mean when you say you're sticking with this product for now.
UA-cam recommended a video to me that was a tour of the Dr. Bronner factory, led by the founder's granddaughter. It was really interesting if you like "how it's made" videos. Anyway, she said that their ingredients are sourced responsibly, and that their palm oil farming is done sustainably and doesn't displace animals by destroying their trees/homes. So maybe we're okay with using it!
Hi a came across your channel looking for ideas how to cut Tshirts! But then a saw your Dr Brooner's soap video, I did use the bar soap to wash my hair actually and it turned out fine 👌 , I did use some Moroccan oil after, I did because I ran out of shampoo, but it work out!

@@jeanbornstein7968 The essential oils in dr bronners is less than 2% it's not enough to cause any damage so you could use the peppermint one on dogs NOT cats The peppermint one is amazing for killing fleas
I've used Dr. Bronner's to wash my hair, only a few drops. Maybe only once a week, followed with an intensely moisturizing conditioner, as I find this method of shampoo can be a bit drying. I've washed a load or two of clothes with it, and it gets the job done just fine. I've also cleaned my sink and toilet with this, in addition to a couple drops of grapefruit essential oil. I'll definitely be cleaning my makeup brushes with this tonight. Thanks for the tips!
I recently started using Dr Bronners and I'm completely obsessed!! I didn't even know it was so amazing or popular when I bought it.
Prior to purchasing, I was strolling along in my local Walgreens. This was several months ago and I looked at one of the bottles... I had seen these soap bottles dozens (maybe even hundreds) of times over the years, but until then I had never picked a bottle up to read what all that writing was about.
As soon as I started reading it though, I knew this was something I had to try... I didn't get it right then because they only had the large bottles and I didn't plan to buy one. So I waited until I found a smaller bottle on sale.
The first time I used it was just to try washing my hands....I could tell there was something magical going on with this soap right away.
So I took it in the shower to try as a shampoo. I only wash my hair 1-2 times a week so it can get a bit oily at times. The oiliness requires a small pre-wash and a second regular wash because the oils kind of 'eat up' the first bit of shampoo, lol. Well, this was not the case with Dr. Bronner's. Even though my hair was indeed oily enough to soak up any other shampoo for my pre-wash, Dr Bronners suds materialized immediately, just like they always do. And as you said, they don't last long, but they rinse out so easily and you get that clean feeling right away. I'll never understand how they've done this with the simple ingredients in this soap.
I followed up with a very small second shampoo and was pleasantly surprised at how my hair felt and how manageable it was once it dried. I don't blow dry or anything, but I do add a bit of mousse to my fine, long, straight hair while it's still damp.
Once my hair dried, I had nice volume and texture. It was quite shiny
& manageable as well. It did feel different than usual, but it was a good kind of different. I rotate almost every time I do a shampoo so I'll definitely add this to my rotation.
I can't wait to try it on makeup brushes!!!
I've used it on my plants, only in a slightly different way & with excellent results. I have a spray bottle with measurements and I add ½ tablespoon of the liquid soap to 16oz. tap water and spray all over the leaves, dirt and pot. The results were better than using a homemade neem oil mixture.... And it smelled a whole lot better than the neem also 😂
I checked inside my little humidity tent the next day and the whole environment inside was just cleaner and brighter. It worked extremely well in that regard and I haven't seen any aphids since!!
I'll also use that same spray bottle solution as an all-purpose cleaner for small, daily messes. I have the Lavender and want to try the Peppermint or Rose next.
I should also say that I did use it as a body wash the same time as I tried it as a shampoo and it did work just fine. However, I do like my luxurious sudsy body washes so I prefer to use something that lasts a little bit longer as far as suds go. Additionally, my skin tends to feel a little bit dry after Dr. Bronners rinses off. Body washes with richer lather aren't as drying so I prefer something else for body wash....but it certainly does work, and there are probably plenty of people who would prefer that type of fast & immediate clean, dry feeling.
The last thing I tried it for is shaping and holding eyebrows up in a feathered, brushed up position. Results were incredible. I didn't even have what you're supposed to have, which is the Dr bronner's bar soap, so I just used the little bit of slightly hardened residue around the lid of the liquid soap. There are some great tutorials here on UA-cam that show the technique I'm referring to, but I personally loved the results that I got. Again, I used the little bit of hardened residue from the liquid formula, so I imagine the results would be even better if I did have the actual Dr Bronner's bar soap.
Sorry to write a mini novel here but I hope that somebody gets some good info from this and decides to give it a try. I've been saying it over and over for the past couple of weeks that this stuff is truly magical 🌬️🌟⚡🩸🙌🧚🏼🧜🏽♀️🔥🌵🌴❄️🌈☄️🦜🦦🐙🐚🐝🦋🍄🦄🐉🕌🗿🏛️💉💉🛸👽🧬🧫🏺🗝️🔮
I use it diluted with water in a spray bottle to clean the windows. Perhaps 1 part to 10 parts of water. You can increase or decrease the percentage. When cleaning the windows or anything glass (stove top etc) just spray it on and wipe it dry with paper towels. Fantastic finish, and non-toxic. Shower screens come up cleaner, so do tiled floors, and even car windows. I love this product and use it for almost everything. Thanks for your video, make-up brushes are yet to try.
I am relatively new to castile soap. I have used the baby (unscented) formula to wash my car. This is my absolute favorite use for it. I don't use the scented ones because I don't know how the essential oils that are in it will react with the paint on the car. I don't use a lot and it foams rather well. I have used it as a body wash, and a face wash, too. I would like to try cleaning with it as well. I haven't had the chance to do it yet. I don't recommend using it for your hair if you have dyed hair, because it will strip your hair of the color. If it's right before you are going to color your hair, that would be fine, since you can use it as a clarifying shampoo.
I made my first purchase of Dr. Bronner's Soap (1 Gallon). I originally bought it to use with my herbicide and insecticide blends. I used to farm in California. Your 1:1 solution with a foam spray pump works really well in the shower, washing hands etc. I appreciate your breaking of the code for easy use.

Just started using it. I love how it makes my pots and stainless steel sink super shiny. It almost reminds me of Murphy’s oil soap. The unscented is the only one I use.

The tea tree one is great for a face deep cleaning and helps to reduce acne.
I like the Dr Bonners Tea Tree blend. I am really susceptible to fungal infections, ringworm & athlete's foot despite my cleanly hygiene. Any time I am exposed to a fungus (I work in an animal hospital so I am exposed to ringworm all the time) I will use it to bath & wash my hands so it's less likely that I will get the infection. But if I do have the infection it helps to clear it up faster in conjunction with antifungal creams.
Jaclyn Machado I knew you worked with animals the minute u said ring worm. I think this one works for rashes too .
I used it undiluted on my bathtub when I first moved in to my apartment. It had a nasty film all around from lack of scrubbing from previous dwellers. It removed it on contact. My husband was not impressed he had just bought scrubbing bubbles to the the tiles and there was a lot of scrubbing on his end to remove the gunk. I however just had to wipe and rinse 🤣.

I Got The Peppermint Dr. Bronner’s 32,Oz At GROCERY OUTLET For $10.99 !
I Put 2 Capfuls In My Bath 🛀 Water ! Great For Easing Aches And Pains
Me too ! Fell in love
I found this video super helpful. It taught me new ways to use one of my favorite multi-use soaps that I didnt think about before. I am glad i found this video.
If you want to o use it for your hair, I would recommend that you add a spoon of aloe Vera and oil since the soap itself needs some type of oil. There's a dermatologist here in UA-cam who explains why. I've been using that shampoo for months now and it does wonders
lamoskgr Moskow I wash my hair wish coconut milk and aloe Vera and dr bronzers. Also use dr bronzers to make my hand sanitizer which is food grade alcohol and dr bronzers and essential oils. I don’t use dr bronzer on most dishes cuz it leaves a film because it’s designed to use on your skin....I use it to make my eco friendly baby bum wipes, which is witch hazel, olive oil and dr bronners.

Thank you for the great video. I just started using the Tea Tree scent in a pump bottle for hand soap and I used three pumps for a face cleanser since tea tree is great for problem skin. I noticed while using this that it’s much softer on my hands but I also add distilled water instead of water from my faucet due to my water is really hard. I’m going to use it for a whole lot more things especially for my rabbits (houses) BUT I’ll use the unscented one. I just ordered from their site the green tea, unscented and cherry blossom. I’m kinda addicted to this stuff and want a lot of different scents for different jobs. Later on I’ll buy the gallon size. It’s amazing how many things you can use this stuff for.
She is speaking so clearly that I feel I could hear what she is saying in spite of the second language to mine. I saw Dr. Bronner's soap in the Insider's video for the first time.
(edit) I corrected some grammatical (?) errors.

I always use rubber gloves when I have to put my hands in that much water, and when I wash dishes, rubber gloves a must girls. Just a tip.
A question I've had for a long time about Castile soaps: during rinsing and before drying with a towel, my hands seem to have a slippery film on them. I assume that that is from the oils. Should it be rinsed off completely, or left on, to nourish and/or protect the skin? If relevant, I live in a region with soft water.
How come the labels you've shown in the video didn't say HEMP? I'm in the USA, Maryland specifically and all the Dr.Bronner's products sold here have HEMP in it.
Not sure but I live in Canada so perhaps the labeling is different.
I love to use it to wash my dogs, they have sensitive skin and the non scented does a great job and they never have an issue
Thank you so much for the educational video but ? please , can I use the Dr. Bronner's tea tree to wash vehicles ? I can't find any info if you can or not recommended . Thank you again .

Thanks!

That’s like more than double in 2023
Truthfully, you are the one whose gotten off the fence about using Dr.Browser's castille soap. I used to see it in stores and wondered about all the writing on the bottle? My sister (many years ago) used to use the peppermint scent. But every time she washed with it, for some reason, I couldn't tolerate that scent which was crazy because I love the taste of peppermint? Teas,gum, candies etc. Anyway? I came across this video and gave this soap another try only a different scent. (You guessed it) baby unscented also almond because I love sweet and warm scent and I don't have sensitivities to scents. All this to say thanks because of your demonstrations made me want to try this soap and it's a pretty good soap. Have you ever try goats milk soap? My recommendation is Beekman 1802. Only? I don't know if it is available in Canada. If you ever get your hands on that product, you'll be in for a treat. Google and see for yourself. Thanks for reading this long comment. 😏
Wow! I am glad to hear about the brush cleanser! The mass marketed brands are sooooo expensive and it takes so much to clean them with mass marketed brands.
Have been using DB for years! Not a good shampoo for me; I look like a fuzz ball when I get out of the shower. I didn’t like it as a dish detergent but ***they make a product called SAL SUDS***. This product is the answer to all your cleaning prayers. Mix it with baking soda to scrub your pots and pans without scratching. Use it with vinegar to clean your floors and bathroom. Use it to pretreat, and then wash your laundry. Life changing.... Thanks for the great video!
I love the peppermint one I love the smell and it doesn’t leave my hands dry
Dr. Bronner's Soap... I've used it for 20 years, started as a biodegradable backpacking soap. Now I use it for body and hair in a 1:4 ratio (bottle 1/4 of Dr. Bronners and the rest water) and even 1:8 works fine. I like the way it rinses off. I've even used it for toothpaste, one drop (of the diluted) on the toothbrush and our mouth foams like a rabid dog...but don't touch your tongue to the soap if you can help it.
For the tops of cans, I spray alcohol on them, wipe if necessary, then rinse with water. Kills germs, loosens dirt.
Where did you buy your dry brush? Thank you for the tips! Very helpful! New to your channel...just popped up on my suggested vids☺️
Thank you! I bought mine from Joyous Health (in Canada) but she's changed up the one she's offering on her website. I found a similar one on Amazon, which is a bit more affordable than what I paid. I've linked it in the description box. :)
petitepearstyle wonderful! Thank you 🙏
I found it at lidles for 7.99 I love it has shampoo and I then cond. No more scalp issues and rinses clean.
there are many video,s on youtube how to mix dr bronners for laundry, one is by
Diego and Hollie Ortiz
1 cup of dr bronners,
2 cups arm & hammer washing soda,
32 cups of water (2 gallons)
1 tsp esstential oil
that is a lot of laundry soap, if you have a large family the shelf life would not be a problem, there are many other video,s for different amounts.
Let us know if you do the laundry soap and how it worked,.
Thank you
Thank you Nancy
Nancy Browning ooohhh Thx! Was about to look this up, I’m doing a no buy year and using all my commercial products up then switching to everything I can made with Dr Bronners. 💜💜
@minnastarz so u don,t mix it with water? just straight out of the Dr. Bronners bottle 1 oz? do u have the new kind of washer?
@minnastarz lol true
@minnastarz it is $22,99 for a 945ml bottle here in Canada on amazon.ca higher prices if u can find it in a local store.
I use it as shampoo...love it ...it ships the dirt out and rinses clean quickly.
whats the precise recipe that you use for that?? also do you use it daily??
Toilet cleaner it works well, I use Doctor woods because it’s cheaper and it’s less evasive in strength so it less irritating to my skin. It also is less thick . I was very surprised at Doctor Woods it is great too. I like the tea tree because it has Rosemary extract. I use it for dish washing and the Nano sponges and nanotechnology towels I feel Castile soap of different brands can be budget friendly just as good!
Use Dr Bronners Sal Suds for your dishes. It’s great and specifically formulated to clean what the Castile soap cannot.
Very cool, I had no idea but I'll def check into these. I recently discovered my local Walgreens stocking the Dr. Bronners bar soaps and a sugar based liquid body soap which is made just for skin. So far I love it. It has the rich lather that the original castile soap is known for, but the lather lasts a while longer and rinses off just as easily without a bit if dryness felt on skin... You don't need much, only a few drops, but I do wish that either the price was lower or the bottle was bigger lol. $10 is a lot but, to be fair, such a small amount is necessary, it should last a long time.
My home is never without this soap. It’s so so good. I keep a diluted solution of it in my shower for my intimate area. The rose scent is my go to. No irritation and doesn’t disturb PH. You’ll thank me later.
Exactly,this soap is bomb. I use the almond kind to wash windows and floors. The lavender,I use to was clothes.
Kellyann R I’m going to try that thank you 😉
melanated misfit hadn’t even seen the almond. Thx for the tip!
Kellyanne R
Do you use only the Rose scent for your intimate area? And, what ratio do you recommend for diluting? I've seen so many users saying that it's very irritating to use in that area, and advises not to do so.
Rachel Pierce
Rachel Pierce I’ve been using this soap for my intimate area for YEARS and I’ve never had any issues. For every capful, I add five capfuls of water. My husband uses it as well and he has no issues either. It’s super gentle. I wash my face with it as well. I love it. I prefer the rose scent, but I use them all. I tend to use the peppermint to shower in the summer time because of the cooling sensation. Try the baby scent for the intimate area too. You won’t be disappointed.
These are all excellent tips! We've never had Dr. Bronner's soap at our house, but a shop I worked at over 10 years ago swore by it! (P.S. I don't know how I got 2 months behind on your videos, yikes!) xo
Thanks so much, Kathleen! We use it at the writing studio too. :)
I use Dr. Bronners to wash my dishes and I also have hard water. It’s a common misconception that you need to have suds in order to clean. Products that produce a lot of suds are often made of harsh, toxic chemical detergents. I’m going to also try Sals Suds, which is also made by Dr. Bronners and is supposed to be a better cleaner for hard water applications.
Sal Suds is amazing! I use that for my household cleaning. I agree with you on the suds, but since I put Dr. Bronner's in a foaming hand soap pump, the foam IS the soap. Once that's gone, my dishes stay greasy.
Kelly Switala if you read the ingredients on Sal Suds it sounds like it has the same type of chemicals used in regular soaps. The ingredients we are always trying to avoid. I just looked at the bottles in the store the other day. I think that’s why it works better. Just FYI.
Thanks for this video. Such great suggestions, as I love Dr. Bronner’s and now have multiple uses to implement. 😃 Also, I have to ask, Where did you get your dry brush? I love it.
Thank you so much! I purchased the dry brush from Joyous Health, but she has since switched the one she has on her website. www.joyoushealth.com/3375-product-dry-skin-brush I haven't been able to find one like mine, but I wish I could as I highly recommend it! I will let you know if I end up finding something similar.
I cannot get an answer to my question anywhere. Can’t I use the dr bronners Castile soap undiluted on a wet sponge to wash my dishes? Once you add water to something it opens up the chance for bacteria to grow. Micro bacteria too that can’t even be seen. If i’m washing dishes in running water anyway (and i’m always wearing gloves), why can’t I use it directly to wash the dishes without pre diluting it. I understand it doesn’t need preservatives on it’s own, but once water is introduced to the product then it changes the rules. I just want to know if it’s an absolute must to pre dilute, and what the issues would be if I used the Castile soap to wash dishes with only the running water to dilute it on the dishes themselves - like regular dishsoap
Lisa Bronner, Dr. Bronner's granddaughter, has info on her blog on what happens to the preservatives in the soap when water is added to the liquid soaps. It's either in a blog entry on in the replies.
It's popular among backpackers. Back in the day I used it. Wash hair, brush teeth, wash face, wash dishes, wash clothing, and body wash. Honestly it wasn't particularly good aside from how it's multipurpose. I still use castile soap however I use it really just as hand soap.
Dr.Bronner's Sal Suds is an excellent round the house cleaner - laundry - dishes etc & is highly concentrated- so good for a dilution solution.
Been using his products for over 4 decades & love that it is an ongoing family business since the 1800's.
Also love all the cosmic messages on the label - & they also have fantastic toothpaste. 🤗
Omg yessss blue toothpasteee! Omggg, my boyfriend use to smoke and after a month or two his teeth are white as snow, he swears it is from toothpaste!
That same bottle cost me $13 at Walmart.
Dr. Broners doesn't distribute to Walmart
Vreni Yahnke okay, maybe not at your walmart. but that’s where i got my bottle.... for $13. next to the $9 equate castile soap. they also carried the dr. bronners rose, peppermint and lavender soap which were about $16.
WHAT aisle couldnt find it
Bruce Lee should be near the makeup
Yea I get mine at walmart too for 13 , Its usually on the bottom shelf over there by the burts bees stuff across from one isle over from the makeup
have you ever tried it for shower gel , if so do you dilute it
When I first started to use Dr. Bronner's soap, I used on fruits and I bathe with it.
Fruit?
@@mstwelvedeadlycyns I use a few drops of Dr. B's to wash fruit and veggies before using them! I make sure to rinse after using the soap.
@@mstwelvedeadlycyns most fruits and vegetables from the super market are coated in a food-safe paraffin to make them look shiny. You don't need to wash it off, but some people prefer to. You can is Dr. B's or you can let them soak in a gallon of water with a cup of vinegar mixed in. Dealer's choice.
People who use Dr Bronner's to shower look so clean to me, they have this special glow.

Question..I have had a bottle of DB for I know years..just discovered it when we last moved...does this have an expiration date? If so,where?
i don’t think that it does
Bottle should have a julian date stamped on it. All it means is what day of the year they made it. Sample is 9365 year is 2019 and day is December .
The bottles should have a code printed near the bottom. For example, one of my bottles has this code: 18135 5715 - the first set of five digits is the Julian Date Code and the last set of four digits is the lot code (which you can ignore). My bottle's 18135 means it was manufactured on May 15, 2018 (first two numbers represent the year and then the 135th day of that year). I've read online that it's recommended that you use castile soap within 3 years of the manufacture date. I just recorded a video on this: ua-cam.com/video/mA15Kpq4_pw/v-deo.html
@@AuthenblissityMain .
From Wholefoods market I got Dr. Bronners liquid castile soaps in the largest bottles the peppermint one, lavender one and almond one, you like the same ones as me I first started using this one when Isaiah's mom said she loved it and used it and have been using it ever since she mentioned it as a body wash, I dilute it in a foaming pump for a hand wash, use to wash my Aveda Flax makeup brushes and other makeup brushes, and twice a week I use literally one drop to wash my eyelids with diluted, one drop is good for regular eye makeup wearers when properly diluted cleans well and the rest of the time I use a moisturizing face cleanser Aveda creme cleanser and in the hand foam pump I wash fresh produce and cans off with Dr. Bronners too before opening cans, groceries at Wholefoods, Pirates Booty aged cheddar snack...

Hello from GB 🇬🇧.
I've taken to using Dr.B to wash my cats face 🙀. He's an old man & cannot be bothered to do it himself & gets a bad build up of eye bogies, he's a real lazy git! Just a quick swish round, very diluted, with a muslin cloth makes him handsome & smell of roses.
You wash your cats face and I do it to my 4 babies :) ...
I heard it should be diluted 1:20, not 1:1. That's a big difference. Have you tried diluting more?
I've tried a few different dilutions in the past but this one works the best for me. Sometimes I add a little less soap, moving toward 1:2 (i.e., 1 part soap to 2 parts water).
You can use it to wash dishes it’s wonderful to cut the grease it’s the only thing I will use and I mix thieves household cleaner with it and a few drops of essential oil and some water into a glass spray bottle and make a household cleaner out of it. I’ve also used the bar form of it and grated it down and made laundry soap with baking soda, washing powder and borax added. Then Ive used the bar soap to take a bath and I’ve loved it but you have to be careful that it will not dry out the skin too much.
This sounds great! Can you tell me what recipe you use to mix the thieves, Dr. Bronner's and the essential oils? That mixture sounds almost perfect for anything!
Can you use it for body wash? I find that it dries up my skin.
I personally don't use it for body wash. I tried on my hair and it was pretty drying.
If the liquid soap is too drying then try one of Bronner's soap bars. They have a couple more moisturizing oils in them.
Mine doesnt last 5 months lol .
Miss Foxx 😂
I love this soap. However, I have switched to using bar soaps as I am trying to reduce using plastic.

Where is your dry brush from please ?
I bought mine from a Canadian website called Joyous Health but she no longer has this one. There are a bunch of options on Amazon if you can't find anything locally.
Have you tried Dr Bronner’s Sal Suds? That’s more of a concentrated household soap.
Yes!! I’ve been using Sal Suds for years to clean my home. I’m currently using it daily, as I’m in the middle of my 30 days to spring deep cleaning challenge :)
My hair can't stand it. The tape water where I live is very hard so if I use soap to wash my hair, it turns out awful. So before using it on your hair, check your tape water hardness.
Face wash in a pinch is ok but I have other things which are more gentle.
It won't replace my toothpaste, the horrible soapy taste lasted for hours 😭
Ok as a body wash but definitely not the best.
Ok as dish detergent but it's really expensive (about 10€ for a 240 ml bottle, 24€ for a 940 ml bottle) where I live so not economical.
Haven't tried laundry yet but same things to note as for the dish detergent.
I don't have any pet.
I do use it for washing my hair brush. It's OK.
Hand wash is also OK but I have access to gentler things for around the same price (liquid Aleppo soap).
As for general cleaning, I have cheaper alternative.
In short, I will use up my dr bronner's but won't buy it again unless I have not other gentler alternatives. It is readily available in most countries.
I have eczema and have been using Kirks Castile soap. They would only sell bar soap where I purchase it from (Albertsons) but It says that they also have liquid varieties online but I’ve never seen it in store. It’s so good on my hair I have hard water as well and the packaging says it works in all types of water. My scalp is no longer itchy or flaky with this soap it’s been a life saver for me.
To get Bronner's to work with your hair you are going to need an acidic rinse after washing hair. A 50/50 mix of water and either lemon juice or Apple Cider Vinegar. You need an acid to cut through the soap so that it will rinse and come completely off the hair strands and scalp. I found this out from Lisa Bronner many years ago after emailing the company asking about it. If you don't use an acidic rinse then your hair will be filmy.
Please try it as shaving cream. I am AMAZED
For better suds, try Dr. Bronner‘s Salsuds. I am in love with it.
Grace La Rock I did notice when I was at the store that Sal Suds seemed to have more ingredients and I wasn’t sure they were all natural. You might want to do a comparison with your other Dr Bronners products and see if you notice the same. I think that’s why it’s more soapy.
@@dianasimplifies It is a little different, I watched a video from Dr. BRONNER'S granddaughter. It is natural. It is even more concentrated. The smell is my very favorite of all of them. I have used Dr. Bronner's for 27 years now, I can't believe it. I bathed both my children in lavender. ❤️
@@dianasimplifies here is a link for Susan Bonner video ua-cam.com/video/b85g8SnC4mw/v-deo.html
@@dianasimplifies and If you are interested, I found this: Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds Liquid Cleaner is not a soap but instead is a concentrated hard-surface all-purpose cleaner. It is made with plant-based surfactants and natural fir needle and spruce essential oils (no cheap, harsh pine stump oil), without any synthetic dyes, fragrances or preservatives.
Grace La Rock oh ok I compared ingredients at the store and pretty sure what I saw on the bottle wasn’t all natural but if you are happy with the product that’s fine, wondering if they have changed things up a bit bc I saw stuff that’s in regular soaps. The sulfates I think. I would have to look at it again but it wasn’t pine or whatever you mentioned. That wasn’t what caught my eye right off the bat.

I have only been using it to wash my makeup brushes. I have been using it straight form the bottle, though. I never thought to use it diluted for that! It would work so much better that way because right now I have a hard time rinsing it all out.
I feel your pain -- trying to rinse out all those suds is a tedious process! I could also be that my water is a bit harder, but please do let me know if the dilution works for you.
@@AuthenblissityMain My water is quite hard as well. We have well water! I need to dig out my foaming hand soap container that I saved and mix some up!
Daiso makeup brush soap works well
Almost a little embarrassing to say but I’ve seriously never consider the pop tops on cans and possible contamination. I mean how many people have touched that can lol
I usually just use it to wash my hands, and sometimes my makeup sponges. I may have used it for a spot treatment on laundry a couple of times. I use 1/4 to 1/3 and fill the rest of the soap dispenser with water. I tried half and half, but it made my hands really dry, and wouldn't dispense/foam up right. I've had Lavender, Eucalyptus, Peppermint and now Citrus. I think I'll get Almond next. I've read a little about growing/farming palm oil being bad for the environment, but not enough to make a decision about it. I also don't know of another product with so many uses, so I'm going to stick with it for now.
I don't think I've heard or read that about palm oil... hopefully I can remember to look into it. I feel like many ingredients and products have environmental impacts, and it's hard to navigate the research, particularly when the research is conflicting. I sometimes worry that if I switch, there will be hidden ramifications with using a new product. I just try to do the best I can at any given point in time, so I understand what you mean when you say you're sticking with this product for now.
UA-cam recommended a video to me that was a tour of the Dr. Bronner factory, led by the founder's granddaughter. It was really interesting if you like "how it's made" videos. Anyway, she said that their ingredients are sourced responsibly, and that their palm oil farming is done sustainably and doesn't displace animals by destroying their trees/homes. So maybe we're okay with using it!
Hi a came across your channel looking for ideas how to cut Tshirts! But then a saw your Dr Brooner's soap video, I did use the bar soap to wash my hair actually and it turned out fine 👌 , I did use some Moroccan oil after, I did because I ran out of shampoo, but it work out!
Thank you for sharing!
This would of been good to watch my English bull terriers years back .. it was hard to find a soap for there skin type
Which Dr Bronner’s scent do you prefer to go for?
