Dr. Bronner's 18-in-1 Peppermint Pure-Castile Soap
What it is
This is a concentrated liquid soap made with organic and certified fair trade ingredients. It is a versatile cleaning product that can be used for a variety of purposes. The peppermint scent comes from pure peppermint essential oil, which provides a refreshing aroma and a cooling sensation. The soap is biodegradable and free from synthetic detergents and preservatives. It is designed to be diluted before use, making a small amount go a long way.
How people cook with it
This soap is known for its many applications around the home and for personal care. Dilution is key to unlocking its full potential for different tasks.
- All-purpose household cleaner
- Gentle body wash
- Hand soap
- Dish soap
To use, always dilute the soap with water. For general cleaning, mix about a tablespoon of soap with a quart of water in a spray bottle. For washing dishes, use a few drops in a sink full of water. As a body wash or hand soap, dilute a small amount with water in your hands or a washcloth. For laundry, add about a third of a cup to a large load. Experiment with dilution ratios to find what works best for your specific needs.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike many conventional soaps, this castile soap is made from plant-based oils, not animal fats. Its concentrated nature means it requires dilution, which can be more economical and environmentally friendly than using pre-diluted products. The peppermint oil offers a distinct, invigorating scent.
Who it is for
This soap is used by individuals and families looking for a multi-purpose, plant-based cleaning solution.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dry place. Once opened, keep the cap tightly closed to prevent evaporation and contamination. If the soap becomes cloudy in cold temperatures, simply warm it gently by placing the bottle in warm water; it will return to its normal consistency.
