PRODUCT REVIEW: DR. BRONNERS ORGANIC PUMP SOAP AND 18-IN-1 PURE CASTILE SOAP

One o those brands I only came across lately is Dr. Bronner's, and honestly, I cannot believe that I hadn't heard of them before - I mean, they've been around for over 150 years, when the company was founded in 1858 in Germany, although it didn't take it's current form and name, Dr. Bronner's, until 1948 in America.

Dr. Bronner's to this day is still family owned and run, by the old-world time-honored simplicity tradition dating back to the family’s soap-making tradition. The products are USDA certified organic, with the brand creating Fair Trade projects across the world that ensure fair and just treatment of farmers and workers, and devoting profits to worthwhile causes and charities worldwide.

I've tried a few of their products including the Dr. Bronner's 4-in-1 Sugar Lemongrass Lime Organic Pump Soap, which is suitable for anything from washing hands, face, body & hair. The soap is contains no synthetic detergents or preservatives, but is made with organic shikakai, which comes from the seed pods of the small South Asian tree Acadia Concinna, which is then extracted in organic sugar and organic grape juice and combined with pure-castile liquid soap base. The soap also contains lover oil, help oil jojoba oil along with lemon grass oil, lemon oil and lime oil, and it is smooth and soft, and while I've not tried it as a shampoo, I have used it as both hand wash and body lotion, and I love how gently it cleans my skin. I also love the scent from the lemon grass and lime, which is so refreshing and uplifting, as well as the gorgeous bright lime green pump bottle looks great by the sink or in the shower.

Then there's the Dr. Bronner’s 18-in-1 Pure-Castile Soaps, which is nothing short of the ultimate multi-tasking product. These Pure-Castile Soap can be used for just about any cleaning task from face, body, hair, to dishes, laundry, mopping your floor, even washing your pet!! Yup, how incredible is that. You could literally just have this in the house, and it would do everything for you, well perhaps except for the actual mopping of the floors or doing the dishes. The soap doesn't contain a single drop of synthetic preservatives, detergents or foaming agents, and as it is extremely concentrated and in fact claims to be 2-3x more concentrated than other soaps, you simply have to dilute, with anything from a few drops, a teaspoon-full, half a cupful, all depending on what you use it for. All the details and suggestions or use, clearly on the bottle. Personally love using this to clean my house, my sinks, my floors, and the Citrus makes my house smell so clean and fresh, especially in the bathrooms and floors, but the Peppermint bathrooms. However, there are a massive 11 different varieties, so there is something for every occasion and regardless of the scent you prefer.

I tried the Hemp Cherry Blossom, which comes with a pretty pink label and has a beautiful floral scent, along with the Hemp Citrus, which comes with a bright orange label, and smells so gorgeous and fresh.

I love that the products come in a large variety of different scents, the product come in gorgeous brightly coloured bottles, which look beautiful out on display. The pump Soap is such a great hand soap for the whole family, but also loving the Pure-Castile soap for cleaning my house, without all the chemicals.
