Reviews

"They're exactly as I expected; they're the same bars of dove soap I have purchased in the past from many drugstores."

"This bar soap works great and helps keep skin clean and moisturized!"

"I'm a guy, so I'm not predisposed to buy products with the word "beauty" in them or soaps that don't promise the strength of drain cleaner, but this stuff is awesome."

"But the exfoliating properties are very minor and would actually be easy to miss if you didn't look close - can't really feel the grit."

"The soap is designed for sensitive skin but works for all skin types and is one of the few soaps that I've used that doesn't leave my skin dry."

"I have noticed that with a lot of these DOVE fragrances (besides the original bar) that the soap has to soften a little and then it starts to lather very well."

"I bought this because I have severe soft water which makes it hard to remove soap from skin and leaves you feeling slick."

"On the item I received, that ingredient is listed in the soap."

Reviews

"I use this soap for shampoo, body wash, face wash, I put it in my bath, I've used it to clean my counters, I've used it to clean dishes. As a shampoo, I am puzzled by all the claims I had heard online about castile soap/saponified oil being drying to the hair, and I suspect that many of the people making those claims either haven't tried it and are just perpetuating the general misconception, or maybe they are using it wrong (I'll explain why I think that). Curly hair is generally more dry, and harder to keep conditioned, than straight hair, and mine is no exception. I find using this soap as shampoo is actually much LESS drying to my hair than other types of shampoo. A little known fact is that the ingredients that clean your hair in normal shampoos don't lather either. You get the impression as you are washing your hair that you are getting your hair really super clean because you are getting a nice thick rich lather, but in reality, the lather is not what is doing the cleaning, and to a small degree, lathering agents actually prevent detergent agents from working as well as they otherwise would. Normal shampoos have harsher detergent agents than this soap because of that effect, and because of the types of ingredients in normal conditioners(read on). Not all, but many, of these ingredients coat your hair and supposedly make it seem incredibly silky and shiny and beautiful and glorious and on and on (and cone leave-ins really give you this effect), but what they also do is keep the natural oils, from your scalp, and any other moisturizing products you may use, from actually getting into your hair, so you get on this cycle of stripping your hair with a normal shampoo, then coating your hair with a normal conditioner, then stripping then coating then stripping, etc., and your hair is getting drier and drier. The harsh detergents in normal shampoos can handle stripping the normal conditioners from your hair with one washing, but this shampoo is much gentler and probably won't. This is what I think people are doing wrong when they think this hair is drying their hair out. They think it's this shampoo, but it's really their conditioner, that is causing their hair to be dry. (Personally, I don't use a conditioner, I wash my hair and then when I am out of the shower I massage a nickel sized amount of light or extra virgin olive oil into my hair. I've been doing that for a very long time, even when I was still using normal shampoo, and It has never made my hair feel oily. On days when I don't shampoo which is about 6 days out of 7, I just rinse my hair in the shower and if my hair seems dry when I get out, I will add a tiny amount more. This doesn't weigh my hair down either, like I said, my hair is curly and it still pops up in spontaneous ringlets) (I get my olive oil in a gigantic bottle from walmart that costs me all of around $1.62.). Quite a while ago, I added a comment to this review including, among other things, clarifying some thing you need to know when considering using olive oil on your hair, and I wanted to paste that here. Extra virgin olive oil is the opposite of extra light olive oil. You can tell how heavy an olive oil is by its color, EVOO is green and extra light olive oil is clear. The 'spectrum', getting lighter in thickness/weight and lighter in color from green to clear is; EVOO, virgin olive oil, pure olive oil, light olive oil, extra light olive oil. If you want to try olive oil, maybe start at pure olive oil and move up or down, depending on how dry/oily or thick/fine your hair is. What HAS changed is that I no longer use olive oil on my hair, I now use coconut oil, and I only use it every other day. I do this because for one I like the scent a little better, but also because coconut oil is solid at room temperature, which means that instead of pouring liquid olive oil into your hand and juggling with that, you just take like a butter knife and get some solid olive oil out of a jar."

"I love peppermint in my bath soap and this stuff is excellent!"

"Cannot say enough good things about this stuff."

"I only use this for bathing and using it everyday it has last me a year (see picture) It is awesome and makes me feel super clean."

"If you live in a tropical environment and you want to refresh yourself, this is a NATURAL miracle in a bottle."

"I read that recently in a natural pest remedies book and , since we had the Dr. Bronners anyhow, I tried it and it worked like a charm on the ants we had coming in the tub drainpipe."

"Slightly watered-down in a Pampered Chef foaming hand-soap container at the kitchen sink, and 2. as a natural insect repellent on my raspberry canes in the garden. I then read somewhere online that Dr. Bronner's, added to a pressure sprayer with water, could eliminate these pests without chemicals."

"Super soap."
