I use this to wash both body and hair. I have oilier skin and it is very effective on that. My hair comes out very clean but not overdry or fly away. I do use a light conditioner afterward. The scent is clean and nice; they all have a nice scent except the rose one. It is lovely when it is good but that has only happened once in many years. It always smells rancid and disgusting.

This is the best soap. I use it to refill my foamy soap dispensers in kitchen and baths. I like the lavender smell much better than Almond fragrance
I use one part soap to four parts water in. My dispensers. I got the pretty glass dispensers on Amazon

Having used bar soap for my whole life and upon having learned bar soap can cause mold growth easier than liquid soap, I set out and bought Dr. Bronner’s. Price for volume, it comes out much cheaper than most soaps and similar to what other reviewers have said, you really don’t have to use much at all in order to lather up a storm, so this bottle should last me for at least a couple months.
As far as quality of the product, the smell is pleasing (at least for me) but is a much more muted lavender than most other lavender smells, even more so after finishing showering and drying off. I have noticed immediately after rinsing, unlike other soaps I’ve used, there is a somewhat sticky or rubbery feeling on my skin which slightly irks me but the sensation fades quickly.
Even though I bought this to be used as a body soap, I got curious about all the 18 uses it claims it has and did some searching. Turns out it can be used to wash clothes, floors, or even to wash your teeth (though I haven’t brought myself to try it in that regard yet).
I’m extremely happy with this purchase and definitely will be buying more when it runs out. The only gripe I have is the slight rubbery feeling right after I rinse it off.

I’ve always loved this brand, the lavender and their unscented baby version in particular are my favorites (pepermint is a bit too strong for me). I have pretty sensitive skin and I have never had a problem using this brand. Smells great too!

The most wonderful soap that is gentle on skin, used successfully with newborn kittens. Such a clean refreshing feeling and scent. I most like the clean feeling I get afterwards. Good value size. My favorite soap.

I’m obsessed with the lavender dr bronners! I’ve been using it exclusively as body wash for years. I makes showering into a next level relaxing experience. You really don’t need much of it, it foams sufficiently, rinses easily, and leaves you feeling really clean. I personally haven’t found it to be particularly drying — I’ve actually been told on multiple occasions that I have very smooth skin. I always bring a little bottle of it when I travel or go camping as well. I actually didn’t realize all the other uses until now.

this soap is amazing!!! i use it as face wash, shampoo, and body wash in the shower, and i even use it to wash my dog! it is the only 3 in one type product i have ever found that works and it has cut down on my shower product costs a lot. even while using it for almost everything, I still have half the bottle left after 3 months. and even better, it’s all natural! i cannot reccomend this product enough.

I started using this soap years ago as a body wash. You do not need much as all, so it lasts for a long time! I have a little pump bottle in my shower that always has the lavender scent in it. In the last 3 months, I have tried many different versions/recipes to use it as a shampoo (including rinsing afterwards with an apple cider vinegar rinse and diluting it significantly with both water and coconut milk) and it just didn’t work for me. My hair was all ratty and knotted, which isn’t usually a huge problem, and it felt pretty dry and brittle. But that doesn’t make me love it any less!
TIP!
When using this as a body wash, I don’t love how thin the consistency is because I feel that I use more than I actually need. So what I have begun to do is thicken it at home! I simply use magnesium chloride flakes (which you can find here on Amazon, and which I choose to use because I can always use more magnesium in my system, as I don’t get enough from my diet most of the time) diluted in water. You could also just use table salt! I take 1 TBSP of the magnesium chloride flakes (or table salt) and put it in about 1 cup of water and stir it until it is thoroughly dissolved. Then, I add the saltwater mixture about 1/2 tsp as a time to about 1 cup of castile soap. Be sure to add just a little bit at a time and stir the soap thoroughly between each addition of the saltwater or it will “break” the soap and won’t have a uniform consistency. I usually use between 2/3 and 3/4 of a cup of the saltwater to get to my desired consistency. It’s a thicker, white, lotion-like soap instead of a thin, tan-ish water-like soap. It’s not as creamy as a synthetic lotion would be, but I really like it and it doesn’t take too much time and saves the amount of soap I use as a body wash over time!

Use this for so many applications around the house. Lovely scent. Buy from Amazon – some 3rd party sellers dilute and while I have not experienced this more than 1 time, I am wary of untrusted / newly formed third party vendors.

I use this stuff for everything- cleaning, bath, etc. As an added bonus, the bizarre religious ramblings that cover the packaging of the bottle gives you something to read in the bath tub.

I love this soap! We now buy this and refill every bathroom foam dispensers with 3/4 distilled water and 1/4 dr Bronners soap. Saves us sooo much money buying soap, and is much healthier/chemical free. The only negative is the essential oils will put an oily coating on your sinks. But that is a small price to pay for no chemicals. And I know it really does have EO in it! Not fake scents!

I love Dr. Bronners for two reasons. I have oily skin and trouble breaking down daily deodorant residue under my arms and for both reasons I come out of the shower squeaky clean. I’ve experimented with cheaper brands but the scent and stability of the soap didn’t hold up over time. Don’t forget, Dr Bronners is highly concentrated so you must find the ratio of water and soap that is correct for you.

With a little bit of this product in a spray bottle of water, I cleaned everything! The smell is nice and I didn’t worry about getting a breathing problem from chemicals. I will give this product as gifts with a spray bottle and microfiber cloths. I really can’t say enough. Cleaned counters, stainless steel, worked like a dream on plastic blinds, refrigerator, etc. I love this stuff!!! It actually encouraged me to clean and nothing has done that before.

I love this stuff! I use it for body wash, to clean my house and floors, I put it in a foam hand pump and use as soap, and I use it to wash my dishes. So cheap and a little goes a long way. The clean ingredients are amazing.
