this is my #1 soap, for multiple uses, as of a couple months ago, with great success and excitement.
they call themselves a magic soap because they have so many uses. for the last couple of months, i've been using the lavender flavor for these uses, in the following dilutions. these can vary depending on preference.
dish soap - fill dispenser 1/3-1/2 way with soap, fill the rest with water - foams up really nice depending what kind of sponge you use.
liquid hand soap - fill dispenser 1/6-1/4 way with soap, fill the rest with water.
toothpaste - 1 to 2 squirts from my hand soap dispenser, don't use this for toothpaste at too strong a dilution.
shaving - 1 squirt from the hand soap dispenser for face shaving, more if you're hairier. it will lather up nicely in your hands.
this is how much it costs:
$14.99 per 32oz bottle = $0.47/oz - whole foods bowery, on the main grocery floor.
$11.99 per 32 oz bottle = $0.37/oz - whole foods bowery, price i saw once when it was on sale.
$10.99 per 32 oz bottle = $0.34/oz - key foods grocery store, lorimer st. and grand ave, brooklyn, ny
$8.99 per 32 oz bottle = $0.28/oz - whole foods bowery, upstairs in whole body, peppermint only, everyday low price. this is the one to get, it's a steal!
i used to be turned off to having to dilute soap, having to measure, etc, but i realized, it just means i'll fill my soap dispenser partially with soap, and the rest with water, pretty easy.
i used to think dr. bronner's was too expensive. then i received a free sample, and found out it's a really effective soap, and although slightly more expensive than dr. woods brand liquid castile soap, which i posted about here a few months back, i'm finding it stronger, more concentrated, which means using less for the same effectiveness, and better dilution value.
then i started seeing dr. bronners at better prices than before.
this also means i've stopped using the other 3 products which i researched for dish soap, liquid hand soap, and toothpaste. they are still alright options, but this is the next step in my ongoing search. this makes it easy for me to just buy one large bottle of soap for various uses.
it really simplifies all natural chemical free soap buying.
be aware, dr. bronner's brand has some new products, like sal suds, that i don't agree with their ingredients, like sls, the original classic liquid castile soap is the best!
more on product info:
dr. bronners is an all natural, certified organic, certified fair trade, liquid castile soap.
castile means made from vegetable oils.
there're no other chemical ingredients at all!
