A: Thank you for contacting Dr. Bronner's! Although it is safe to use our Castile soaps to make an insecticidal spray for plants, and trees, we have not tried to use our soap to make a mosquito repellent specifically. Below we have included the link to the Lisa Bronner Blog, where you can find more helpful tips and dilutions for an insecticidal spray:
http://www.lisabronner.com/spraying-for-garden-pests/
Also, bugs do not like Peppermint or cayenne pepper, so we recommend using our Peppermint Castile soap, and adding some cayenne pepper to your dilution.
Should you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to let me know!

Q: Is this appropriate to use as a dish soap?
submitted by eo enthusiast - 7 months ago
A: Thank you for contacting Dr. Bronner's!
While our soaps clean dishes very well, we do not recommend using our soap in the dishwasher and currently do not offer a soap specifically for use in the dishwasher. Our soaps are great cleaners for almost any household purpose, with the only notable exception being that they should not be used in the dishwasher unless you’d like to have a bubble party on your kitchen floor!
Some customers say that our soaps have worked in their dishwashers, but we simply can’t recommend them as they suds too much. Even though there are no foaming agents, added for the sole purpose of creating more foam, the fact that our soaps are highly concentrated makes them high foaming. Our soaps do a great job of cleaning the dishes, but they could cause damage to your dishwasher because it gets overfilled with suds. If you do decide to try it, we suggest using a tiny amount of soap.
To handwash your dishes with our Pure-Castile Liquid Soap, we recommend a couple of methods. The first is to fill your sink with water and add either 1-2 Tbsp. (15-30 mL) of our soap.
If you prefer to use a dispenser, we recommend only using a foaming pump dispenser. Our Pure-Castile Soaps are quite concentrated and inevitably, the regular pumps always clog. For use in a foaming pump, dilute ¼ cup Tbsp. (60 mL) of soap into an 8oz container of water. You are aiming for a 1:3 ratio for the soap.
The last way we recommend is to make an all-purpose spray cleaner by combining ¼ c. (60 mL) of soap with 1 qt. (1 L) water or in a spray bottle. Then all you need to do is spray the dirty dishes down and scrub them. You can find a full breakdown of how to make an all-purpose spray also of Lisa Bronner's blog, Going Green with Lisa Bronner (https://www.lisabronner.com/using-sal-suds-to-clean-dishes/).
When diluting our products, please note that this does reduce mixture's shelf life. Generally, diluting with tap or filtered water results in a shelf life of about 2 weeks to a month, while dilutions with distilled water can last up to 6 months. Using distilled water can also reduce natural soap separation that may occur with hard water.
If you have any future questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

Q: Does this soap get the chlorine smell out of skin for a daily swimmer?
submitted by Mommyof3WI - 9 months ago
A: Hi, thank you for reaching out to us at Dr. Bronner's!
Our Pure-Castile and Sugar Soaps are great options for that post-swim shower! While our products don’t contain added vitamin c to eliminate or neutralize chlorine, our gentle soaps can help reduce the smell left behind on your skin, while also minimizing dryness from consistent or over exposure to chlorine.
Baby Unscented Castile Soap is a great option, however we also recommend trying our Baby Organic Sugar Soap, to keep your skin hydrated. Our Sugar Soaps contain additional organic sugar and white grape juice that act as humectant ingredients. Please keep in mind that this may require some timely washing, such as possible rinsing and repeating.
Please feel free to reach back out if you need any further assistance or have more questions about our products!

Q: is this soap acne prone save
submitted by dayani - 2 years ago
A: Thank you for reaching out regarding your Dr. Bronner's product!
While we do not make any products specifically for sensitive skin, many of our soaps work very well for those with skin sensitivities. Here is a list of our soaps from least to most moisturizing: Pure-Castile Liquid, Pure-Castile Bar, and Organic Sugar Soap.
We have received very positive comments regarding our Baby Unscented and Tea Tree soaps from our customers with skin issues such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, acne, oily skin, or general skin sensitivities. However, we all have different skin, so we would advise first trying our product on a small area of your skin to be sure that it will work for you.
For our customers with many sensitivities who are unable to use our scented varieties, we recommend trying our unscented soaps. These products have no essential oils and our Pure-Castile Liquid Soap contains almost double the amount of olive oil, making them milder than the rest.
As mentioned above, we do not make soaps specific to certain skin conditions, although they may help in some cases. We would still recommend that you first consult these products with your dermatologist, to see which products they may recommend that are more suitable for your skin.
Should you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to us!

Q: can this help out with dark spots and or hyperpigmentation??
submitted by sam - 3 years ago
A: None of our soaps will help to reduce dark spots. However, Pure-Castile Soap will help promote healthy skin that is more able to heal itself. Protecting your skin from the sun by wearing hats, UPF clothing, and sunscreen is really the best bet to prevent future dark spots. No soap will take away scarring, but with time and healthy skin-care habits—keeping skin hydrated and using sunscreen—they may fade.
This bar soap has garnered praise for its delightful citrus scent, effective cleansing properties, and smooth lather. Guests appreciate its ability to leave skin feeling clean without irritation, making it suitable for various skin types. Many enjoy using it as part of their daily routine, noting its uplifting aroma and long-lasting quality. The soap is also recognized for its natural ingredients, appealing to those seeking eco-friendly options.

Love this as bath soap!
I love this soap and this CITRUS scent is spectacular. It's subtle and not overpowering. The soap itself is smooth and rinses off well. It lathers well and leaves you feeling clean.

All Time Favorite!!
This scent has been my favorite since I found this company. I love how it's the perfect smell to wake up to. It instantly brightens my mood. It's super smooth and doesn't irritate my skin while also allowing me to enjoy it's scent. Most everything else I have to use unscented, but not my bath soap!

Uplifting Citrus
Whenever I purchase these bars of soap I like to get most of the varieties. I enjoy almost all of them, so they get alternated throughout my bathing rituals. I’ve found this Citrus to be uplifting whenever I use it.

Its a keeper
70 year old, dry skinned woman here! Looking for any product that keeps my skin from flaking and itching after bathing. Thought I’d give the citrus bar Dr Bronner a try! Has a clean slight orange smell but nothing that stays. Lathers up quite well and rinses right off. My skin doesn’t flake, I don’t need to use lotions anymore and I feel clean! Very impressed. Was even more impressed that same bar was my shampoo as well. I think this may work.

Sunshine Soap
This citrus soap is like a breath of sunshine. It lifts my mood instantly. I like to layer it with my favorite lotion-Osea. This soap is long lasting and doesn’t melt like other brands I have tried.
