Dr. Bronner's 18-in-1 Eucalyptus Pure-Castile Soap
What it is
This is a concentrated liquid soap made with organic and fair trade ingredients. It is derived from plant-based oils, including coconut, palm, and olive oil. The eucalyptus scent comes from essential oils. The soap is biodegradable and free from synthetic detergents and preservatives. It is designed to be diluted for various cleaning purposes.
How people cook with it
This versatile soap can be used for a wide range of cleaning tasks around the home and for personal care. Its concentrated nature means a little goes a long way.
- All-purpose household cleaner
- Hand soap
- Dish soap
- Body wash
To use, always dilute the soap with water. For general cleaning, mix about half a capful with a quart of water in a spray bottle. For hand soap, use a few drops and add water to lather. As a body wash, dilute it significantly, about one tablespoon per cup of water. It can also be used for dishes, laundry, and even as a gentle facial cleanser when highly diluted. Experiment with different dilutions to find what works best for each application.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike many conventional soaps, this castile soap is made solely from plant oils and does not contain harsh chemicals or synthetic fragrances. Its concentrated formula allows for greater control over dilution, making it adaptable for many uses and potentially more economical over time.
Who it is for
Individuals seeking a natural and multi-purpose cleaning solution for their household and personal hygiene needs.
How to keep the rest
Store the remaining soap in its original container at room temperature. Keep the cap tightly closed to prevent evaporation and contamination. Avoid exposing it to extreme heat or direct sunlight for extended periods, which could affect its consistency.
