Dr. Bronner's Magic Pure Castile Liquid Soap Bodywash - Baby Unscented - 32 fl oz: For Sensitive Skin, Paraben-Free, Ethyl Alcohol-Free

A: Yes. This just doesn't have any fragrance which could be irritating to sensitive skin.

A: Hi Helen, yes this all-in-one soap can be used on children, adults, even pets!

A: Yes! It’s a great alternative if you want to use something more natural and free of unnecessary chemicals, fragrances, etc. I also use this to wash my cat when we wash her cat box(about once a month) since it’s more natural and fragrant free :)

A: I do use this as my primary shampoo as it's as close to pure as any product can be. Very mild, my hair feels clean without the added perfumes (which I'm allergic to). I use this as my one stop product in the bath. Every other hair wash I do use conditioner.

A: You can use it as a shampoo, but if you're not used to soap as shampoo I recommend following with a citric acid rinse (diluted apple cider vinegar is a good option) to smooth your hair follicle back down or your hair might feel a bit more tangled.

A: This is a very mild soap, but I would not use as shampoo because on the bottle it says to keep out of your eyes

A: I highly recommend getting a foam pump dispenser bottle. It will go a very long way, 2 showers a day, it lasted me 5 months.

A: Hi Mma, we've found that this castile soap will last several months, especially when you dilute the soap, or combine it with water.

A: Hi MJ! The Dr. Bronner's 18-In-1 Hemp Baby Pure Castile Soap when diluted can be used for body, face, mopping-laundry-pets, and clean make-up brushes! Directions will be in bottle, hope this helps :)

A: Hi MJ! We do not recommend using a standard pump dispenser, sensor dispenser, or wall dispenser with our Pure-Castile Liquid Soaps as they can easily clog. Instead, we recommend keeping the soap in its original bottle and using just a drop or two for each handwashing. However, our Pure-Castile Liquid Soaps do work well in foaming dispensers! Foaming dispensers “thicken” the soap with water and air. If you decide to use a foaming dispenser, make sure to dilute the soap at a ratio of 1 part soap to 3 parts water. This dilution doesn’t create the issues with clogging that undiluted soap would. Ratio example: 8 oz. bottle = 2 oz. soap (¼ c.) soap and 6 oz. (¾ c.) water; 12 oz. bottle = 3 oz. soap and 9 oz. water. When using a foaming dispenser, we recommend diluting a portion that will be used up within 2 weeks to a month, since we do not add any harsh preservatives in our products that will allow them to last longer than 1 month after being diluted. Using distilled water will be more helpful since hard water can cause natural soap separation.

A: No, it's soap. Although it is mild, it is not tear free.

A: No. Its not tear free.

A: Hi, thank you for reaching out to Dr. Bronner's! Both our Pure-Castile Liquid Soaps and Sal Suds Biodegradable Cleaner work extremely well for handwashing delicate fabrics and even washable silks and wool. However, please keep in mind that our products are not specifically formulated for laundry, and we have not tested them for all types of fabrics. A great rule of thumb is to follow the tag's washing instructions on your item. If you are still uncertain, we recommend doing a spot test first, to make sure this product will be okay to use. If you are comfortable washing your items with our products, I suggest adding 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) of Pure-Castile Liquid Soap to about 1 gallon (4 L) of cold water. Swish the items gently in the bowl and let soak for about 10 minutes. Swish the items again to release any loosened grime and rinse with clean water. To condition natural fibers like silk, add 1 cup (240 mL) of white vinegar to a new bowl of fresh water. Message the garments in this dilution and rinse them once more. In a towel, gently press the excess water out of the fabric, laying stretchy or heavy fabrics flat and hanging lightweight fabrics to dry. For more details on this process and more, check out Lisa Bronner's blog post Handwashing Delicates with Dr. Bronner’s (https://www.lisabronner.com/handwashing-delicates-with-dr-bronners/). I do want to mention that if you are using our Pure-Castile Soap and have hard water, it is possible to encounter some mineral build-up. Although this is completely normal as the interaction of hard water, and even soft water, with any true soap (not synthetic detergent-based soaps), it can leave behind a thin film of minerals that appears as residue or “soap scum.” With that said, if you do encounter any residue or build-up on your garments, this can easily be dissolved with vinegar. I recommend following the last step I shared and even repeating the step should the residue persist. Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let us know!

A: Hi, thank you for reaching out to Dr. Bronner's! You can use either apple cider vinegar (ACV) or Dr. Bronner’s Citrus Hair Rinse on your hair and scalp. After you have thoroughly rinsed out any soap, dilute the rinse in a cup and then pour it over your head, work it through your hair, and rinse thoroughly. During the first few weeks of transitioning to using the rinse, especially if you’re coming from a conventional shampoo/conditioner regimen, you may need to use another crème conditioner after the rinse. Please note that washing your hair with our soaps can be a process for some people, as your hair needs to adapt to using a true soap since they are not a shampoo. It can take a fair amount of trial and error and tinkering with what works best for your hair. We’d also like to mention that using our Hair Rinse is optional, and not necessary to wash your hair with our soaps. However, we have found that most hair types do benefit from an acidic rinse. Should you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly!

A: Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Bronner’s! Our Soaps work exceptionally well to clean hair; however, the process may require a bit of tinkering to fit your specific needs. There is no need to dilute even if you are using our Pure-Castile Liquid Soap. Just start with a dime-sized amount in your palm and lather it into your hair. The water present in the shower is enough to dilute the applied soap. However, you can use a dilution ratio of 1:3 (1 part soap to 3 parts water), to get started and adjust to your personal preference. Also, when diluting our soaps, we recommend that you use the dilution up within the first 2 weeks to a month. This is because we do not use any harsh preservatives that will allow the soap to last much longer than 1 month after being diluted. Distilled water is recommended. Lastly, please note that if you have color-treated hair, we do not recommend that you use our soaps. If you have any future questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly!

A: Hi, thank you for reaching out to Dr. Bronner's! Creating your own scent of Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Liquid Soap is a wonderful way to customize your cleaning experience. By adding your preference of essential oils to our Baby Unscented Pure-Castile Liquid Soap you can design your soap with the exact scent or benefits you desire for your home. Rest assured that adding essential oils will not change the efficacy or safety of our soap as long as the correct amount is used and there are no known allergies. For a full breakdown of how much essential oil to use for your specific bottle size, please check out our walkthrough guide How to Make Your Own Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Soap Scent (https://www.drbronner.com/pages/how-to-make-your-own-dr-bronners-pure-castile-soap-scent). While you can add your desired essential oils directly into your bottle, this may lead to some separation between the oils and the product. Fear not! This just means that you’ll want to give your bottle a vigorous shake before each use to ensure the essential oils are mixed. You can also use this guide for a more in-depth method for blending our soap with essential oils. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when adding essential oils to our Pure-Castile Liquid Soap: • While you can add essential oils to any of our Liquid Soap options, we recommend using our Baby Unscented to avoid any potential issues. • Try to adhere to our recommended amounts as adding too much essential oil to our soap can cause consistency issues and/or cloudiness. • If you choose to heat the soap, be sure to keep your stove temperature low and only warm it for 5 minutes to avoid evaporating any water content. Lastly, we’d like to mention that some animals are more sensitive to certain essential oils and concentrations. If you have animals in your home, we encourage you to consult your preferred veterinarian to see what oils would be best suited for your home. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly.
