Dr. Bronner's 18-in-1 Peppermint Pure-Castile Soap
What it is
This is a concentrated liquid soap made from organic and certified fair trade ingredients. It is a versatile cleaning agent that can be diluted for a wide range of uses. The peppermint scent comes from pure essential oils, offering a refreshing aroma. It is designed to be biodegradable and gentle on the environment. The soap is formulated without synthetic preservatives or detergents.
How people cook with it
This soap is known for its many applications, from personal care to household cleaning. Its concentrated nature means a little goes a long way.
- Hand and body wash
- Dish soap
- All-purpose cleaner
- Laundry detergent
To use this soap, it must be diluted with water. For general cleaning, mix about half a cup of soap with a gallon of water. For hand soap, dilute one part soap to ten parts water. For dishwashing, use a small amount directly on a sponge or add a few drops to sink water. For laundry, use about a third of a cup per load. Always shake the bottle before use as the soap may separate. Adjust dilution ratios based on the task at hand.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike many conventional soaps, this Castile soap is made from vegetable oils, not animal fats. Its concentrated formula requires dilution, which is different from ready-to-use cleaning products. The peppermint essential oil provides a distinct, invigorating scent that is natural.
Who it is for
This soap is used by individuals seeking a multi-purpose, plant-based cleaning solution for their home and personal hygiene routines.
How to keep the rest
Store the soap in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use. If the soap separates, simply shake the bottle to recombine the ingredients. It is stable at room temperature.
