Date: May 15, 2012 12:40AM I always liked Doc Bronner but on my skin it's a bit harsh, even with the hemp oil... Re: Buy Dr Bronner Products

Date: May 15, 2012 08:16PM Bronner Soaps have Citric Acid added, which is 'bad' if you're a purist. Many people have a citric acid allergy. I once accidentally swallowed about a tablespoon of the liquid soap and nothing happened - I didn't die - it probably cleaned out my insides.
I love Alaffia Liquid African Black Soap. I use it for my hair and shower. [www.alaffia.com] For dishes and hand soup, we use Dessert Essence Castile Liquid Soap - [www.vitacost.com] Re: Buy Dr Bronner Products

Date: May 16, 2012 01:03AM Tam, I have done both and it just irritates me for some reason. Kiss My Face olive oil soap is always good but it's so damn messy! Re: Buy Dr Bronner Products

If you mean that it slithers, rather than acting like soap, then I understand  Their products are like something out of "Harry Potter"!Re: Buy Dr Bronner Products

> are like something out of "Harry Potter"! ???? LOL- too obscure for me...(I never watched or read HP so I wouldn't get it anyway...) Actually, I meant the bar soap. It doesn't stay together too well. Gets a bit mushy, I should say. But it's super gentle. Re: Buy Dr Bronner Products

Date: May 17, 2012 01:51PM I meant the bar soap too; after the eighth time of it slipping away from me and falling on the top of my foot, I switched to another brand. After a couple of weeks, KMF soap really feels like you could use it for craft projects instead Re: Buy Dr Bronner Products

Date: May 18, 2012 11:24PM The bronner liquid soap is great for stains on clothes or for getting out spills on rugs and furniture, etc. Although not as good as Oxy-Clean. Re: Buy Dr Bronner Products

Date: June 02, 2012 11:10PM I don't know if I am imagining this, but I recently bought Dr. B's peppermint soap and it's half gone already! I had the feeling it's been diluted a tad but I am not sure. Re: Buy Dr Bronner Products

Date: June 03, 2012 12:32AM BW I buy the unscented baby soap for body use but would never wash hair or faces with it, it really is too harsh for that for us. I use glycerin bar soap for the face (Arugula recommended that to me and she has lovely, lovely skin) and whatever natural stuff looks good at the HF store. For cleaning I buy the tea tree oil castile or just add my own essential oils to the baby soap. I've brushed teeth with the peppermint soap, it works well and is exactly the same as that ghastly expensive tooth soap (the tooth shreds are just grated castile bar soap sold for $20 a tiny little jar, outrageous!).
That olive oil soap is weird, and it smells weird too. Not my favourite. Re: Buy Dr Bronner Products

Date: June 03, 2012 03:43PM I like the olive oil soap! They have ones with honey, too. It's just far more gentle than the Dr. products, IMO.
As for the tooth soap, I am beginning to get that memo about the ripoff price of Tooth Soap! I paid (according to Raw Food world, anyway) the wholesale price. I think it goes for at least $15 otherwise for a little jar. But the ingredients do state that it's just coconut oil and essential oil and there are additional ingredients in Dr. B's. So I wonder if it's more pure. Re: Buy Dr Bronner Products

Date: June 03, 2012 03:59PM The ingredients listed on the rawfoodworld website are
Ingredients: Specially formulated soap made from saponified coconut, palm, and ORGANIC extra virgin olive oil, filtered water and essential oil. Certified Kosher by Star-K. Dr Bronners INGREDIENTS: Organic Coconut Oil*, Organic Palm Oil*, Sodium Hydroxide**, Water, Organic Olive Oil*, Organic Hemp Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Salt, Citric Acid, Tocopherol * CERTIFIED FAIR TRADE INGREDIENTS ** None remains after saponifying oils into soap and glycerin It's so close, close enough that the price difference is inexplicable. I don't know what they're up to listing only coco oil and EO as ingredients as though two things in no way make up soap, there has to be saponification of some sort... Re: Buy Dr Bronner Products

Date: June 04, 2012 03:44PM I tried my peppermint Dr. B's and it was a bit harsh (I might have used too much, also). The tooth shreds are not very pleasant, either, but I think they are good for the teeth. I might try the Baby Bronner's. Maybe it's milder. Re: Buy Dr Bronner Products

Date: June 04, 2012 05:51PM I still tastes like soap and it's WAY foamy, lol, crazy foamy. You could dilute it in a small cup and just dip your toothbrush in, scrub, rinse the brush, dip, scrub... Putting it full strength on your toothbrush is too much, it's so strong. Re: Buy Dr Bronner Products

Date: June 04, 2012 08:53PM I use a milder castille soap by the Vermont Soap Company:
Ingredients: Saponified organic oils of coconut, olive and jojoba, organic aloe vera, rosemary extract (preservative). [www.vermontsoap.com] Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
