Every now and then I write about an all-natural cleaning or beauty product that I’ve been lovin’ lately. And lately, I cannot get enough of Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps.
The first time I saw this product on the shelves, I assumed it was a body wash. I liked the short, all-natural, and mainly organic ingredient list, so I snapped it up. I tried Peppermint, Lavender, Tea Tree, and Eucalyptus. And after using the different scents in the shower for several months, I realized what I really liked about D. Bronner’s was how concentrated it was – the big bottle is a little pricey, but it lasts forever.
And then we ran out of dish soap.
There was a huge sink of dirty pots to be washed, so I figured I’d give Dr. Bronner’s a try – after all, the label claims it’s an “18-in-1†formula with multiple uses. And it worked WONDERFULLY for dishes. Since then, I’ve discovered loads of other ways to use this magic soap:
-
As face wash
-
As a shampoo
-
To clean the floors (heavily diluted)
-
For laundry – I pour in about 1/4 cup
-
To scrub the walls of the shower
-
As shaving cream
I’m sure there’s many, many more ways to use the soap. I hear you can even use it as TOOTHPASTE, but I haven’t tried that yet. It’s kind of been a revelation – we’ve been trained to think we need 10 different cleaning products for 10 different jobs, but maybe one high-quality soap does the trick.
Are you a fan of Dr. Bronner’s? Oh, and if you’re wondering about the weird label, Wikipedia has an interesting explanation about the origins of Bronner’s quirky ramblings.
And of course – Happy Thanksgiving! I hope my fellow Americans enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’ll be taking the day off to celebrate with family; catch you on Friday.
I have just been using it these past few days in fact, as the friend I’m visiting uses it and I have to say I love it as a body wash but had no idea it could be used for anything else! I love the idea of having just one single shower product- would make traveling so much easier as well!
