Dr. Bronner's 18-in-1 Peppermint Pure-Castile Soap
What it is
This is a concentrated, multi-purpose liquid soap made from organic and certified fair trade ingredients. It is known for its versatility and the invigorating scent of pure peppermint oil. The soap is biodegradable and free from synthetic detergents and preservatives. It creates a gentle lather and is suitable for a wide range of cleaning tasks.
How people cook with it
People use this soap for many different cleaning needs around the home and for personal care.
- Body wash
- Hand soap
- Dish soap
- All-purpose cleaner
To use as a body wash or hand soap, dilute one part soap with three parts water. For tasks like washing dishes or cleaning surfaces, a more diluted solution is typically used, often one tablespoon of soap in a gallon of water. It can also be used for laundry, mopping floors, and even as a gentle pest deterrent in the garden. Always shake or swirl the bottle gently before use, as natural separation can occur.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike many conventional soaps, this castile soap is derived entirely from plant oils, primarily coconut and olive oil. The peppermint oil provides a distinct, cooling aroma and sensation that sets it apart from unscented or other scented varieties. Its concentrated nature means a little goes a long way.
Who it is for
Individuals seeking a natural, effective, and environmentally friendly cleaning product for their household and personal hygiene.
How to keep the rest
Store the soap in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation. If the soap thickens in cooler temperatures, simply warm the bottle slightly in a bowl of warm water to return it to its liquid state.
