  • Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps has been around since 1948, when it was founded by Emanuel Bronner, a third-generation soap maker who immigrated from Germany in 1929. Dr. Bronner’s soaps are all organic and sustainably sourced from fair trade facilities around the world before arriving to its factory in Vista, California. Bronner’s life mission was to promote his philosophy called the Moral ABC, which called for peace and unity over religious and ethnic differences. Bronner's philosophy is written in tiny text on all of his soap labels. The company says there are 18 ways you can use its liquid castile soap, including washing your face, body, hair, home, and even your teeth. Celebrities such as Zoë Kravitz, Lady Gaga, and Meghan Markle are rumored to be fans of Dr. Bronner’s soaps. Their most famous soap is the Peppermint Liquid Castile soap, which can cool the skin and clear sinuses.

But I do love me some Dr.Bronner’s. I love every kind they make too! I think the lavender might be my favorite, but I love all of them. They make really great bath salts too. They should get into making Himalayan salt flakes! If you haven’t tried the flakes, they are even better than the salt! I forget why, but I do know my favorite bathes EVER we’re with the Himalayan flakes.

    "Triple-milled" does not mean that it's ground three times. It means (or is supposed to mean) that it passes through three sets of rollers that bear down on the bar and get as much air out of it as possible. That is why triple-milled soap lasts much longer than ordinary soap: it doesn't have as much air in it. Compare that with Ivory Soap: "It Floats." Well, it floats because it's got air in it, and because of that it doesn't last very long.

      It has to be milled like that to completely get the added scent and benefit oils in. Air isn't a part of any real soap, unless a bubble or two got trapped. Milling can actually introduce more air when a bar is formed if it's not done right.

    • @nomore1980
      @nomore1980 3 года назад +4

      @@buckeyedav1 The base soap they make doesn't harden up immediately. They have the time to break it up, mix it up with the added oils, and then form it into bars. The final hardening is helped by the pressure (and heat?) of forming the bars, and once it's packaged it will eventually reach it's full hardness.

      Its worth reading the history to know why. After his wife died he started to give speeches about "uniting spaceship earth" and even send his 3 children to an orphanage to do this full time. Later he got arrested after one of his speeches and his sister advised him to go to a mental institution to get help because his behavior wasn't normal.... the rest you already know.
      It's also worth noting that he ran his company as a religious organization to avoid paying taxes but he was busted by the government and had to pay 1.3 million back in taxes.

      Because you’ll break the mold that is placed by the powers that be. Cutting off their wealth by taking advantage of unassimilated people.

    Lavender and almond are my all time favorite. The peppermint is a good bug repellent when mixed with water for your plants and garden!

    Love Dr.Bronner’s soap. I shampoo my hair with the tea tree daily. My scalp always feels great. I also wash my beard weekly with it.I would definitely give it a try. Buy one and use half then fill the rest back with water. It lasts awhile.

    I just bought a 32 oz bottle of peppermint for the first time ever last week and so far I have washed myself with it, scrubbed my bathroom and kitchen with it, used it in my laundry, washed my dishes AND today I scrubbed my carpets with it! I can’t wait to try the other scents. Good stuff! I AM gonna try to brush my teeth with it soon. There’s a ton of uses for this stuff!

    I've been using this soap for about 3 to 4 decades. Peppermint is the only soap I use for hand washables they smell fresh and are unharmed. I use it for body wash...tea tree for pre-shampoo and rose, orange and lavender for body wash. I dilute with water and refill my hand soap dispensers. Haven't tried it to wash dishes....will try that. I love this soap....
