Dr Bronner's Castille Liquid Soap Review

Image borrowed from http://www.lovelula.com/
Rating: 5/5, available from Lovelula with prices ranging from £1.99 - £8.49 (+ p&p)

Not only is Dr Bronner's Castille Liquid Soap 82% organic, all natural and fairtrade but the bottles are made from post-consumer recycled plastics and are therefore 100% recyclable. They come in a range of scents (Lovelula stock almond, teatree, eucalyptus, lavender, rose, peppermint and citrus) as well as having one specifically formulated for babies.

Despite Dr Bronner's parents dying in the holocaust, he promoted a belief in the goodness and unity of humanity.The product labels of both the liquid castille soaps and the soap bars are covered in statements of Dr Bronner's philosophy, which he called "All-One-God-Faith" and the "Moral ABC". For more information about Dr Bronner click here

Lovelula also stock Dr Bronner's lip balms, conditioners, shaving gels, soap bars and another range of liquid handsoaps.
Lovelula list a series of suggestions for potential uses:
For everyday body-washing: Get wet and pour several drops of soap full-strength onto hands-washcloth-loofah.


For other uses: Dilute from one part soap into 40 parts water for light cleaning, to cutting it in half or using it full strength for heavy-duty grease-cutting jobs.

For laundry: Use 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup for one regular load; adjust as needed depending on the hardness of your water. Adding a dash of baking soda makes it even better.

People who suffer from eczema or dry skin tend to have trouble with normal soaps and the chemicals that come with them. But L swears by this stuff, she uses it as a hand wash, a shampoo and after mixing 1 part of this soap with 2-3 parts water and 10 drops of an antibacterial essential oil it makes a great mild all-purpose cleaner. We've not washed the dishes with it yet or used it for laundry, but it's been used on the worktops, counters and, well, all over the house!
 
It's three times more concentrated than most liquid soaps on the market so it lasts forever!
 
All in all this soap is fantastic, the smaller bottles are great to take away with you when travelling, the scents aren't too overpowering and best of all they are kind to your skin!
