I’m going back to using your products, including your shaving products. It’s more than just being clean, it’s about using natural organic ingredients on our bodies. Thanks for the tour. I enjoyed it very much.
@@GoingGreenwithLisaBronner hi Lisa, did you reply back to me about your age? I know I’m not supposed to ask window ages, but just curious, please reply.
Wow!! Just got the rose bar soap from the store today and it makes me appreciate it even more after watching this video! All the hard work and love that’s put into it! Beautiful! This is the only brand of soap I have used since my crunchy, all natural friend from college told me about it. But, I’ve only used the liquid soaps for over a decade and now, finally trying the bar soap! Very excited! The rose smell reminds me of the good college days, very nostalgic! It’s like a treat to myself to use these high quality ingredients on my body!! Thank you Lisa for this wonderful tour!
Good morning Lisa ! Dr. Bronner’s soap is awesome!❤️ I love this soap . I know it’s a bar soap, but the scent , leather , and cleansing qualities are really enjoyable . I found it to be very moisturizing I definitely recommend it!! ❤️👍👍👍👍
I have been a Dr Bronner's user ever since I got turned onto it in the '60s. I love the direction you have taken the company. Peace, Lisa, David, and the amazing workforce.
I've loved your soap since the 1970s, starting with the liquid peppermint soap when it had paper labels. I use the unscented bar soap daily, and have recently tried the citrus--wonderful. Loyal user for life.
Thank you for the tour; I’ve been using your soap for about 15 years and love it, good for our body, good for the farmers and for Mother Earth. Great job 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow, Lisa what a great tour! I've been obsessed with everything Dr. Bronner for nearly 4 decades. After a shower I spray the tile in the shower with it and the grout remains clean and free of mold and mildew.
Thank you for this video! It was my huge found 2 years ago on eBay. And last year it went viral here in Norway. I use it gladly and love your company. I wish to be a part of it somehow 🥰 standing for what I believe is an amazing product. Best luck and hope to see much more and learn so I can spread the good word 🎉
Hi Lisa, I bought my first botttle last week and I feel the difference already in my scalp, hair and skin. I wish I had used your product years ago but it’s never too late. Thank you and your family!
Hi Lisa Enjoyed the video. Great made in America products for over70 years! I've used them since 1970s. Now my daughter is also a customer. Deirdre from Florida
WOW, fascinating process! I just adore your bars, such creamy lather. I am very curious when/how you add the hemp oil though as it isn't mentioned at all in this video and it's literally a big part of your labeling that it has US grown hemp oil. Please help us understand, thx
Hi Dorothy- Thanks for knowing our products so well! I realize I didn't call out the hemp addition! At about 2:20, you can see a pipe coming down that is labeled "Additives." This contains the hemp seed oil, jojoba oil, and mixed tocopherols. They go in after the saponification and before the drying process begins.
YO Lisa appreciate this video really loved watching how these soap bars are made very satisfying. Thank you and your family for all the hard work and keeping Dr.Bronner ALiVE ! ALL-ONE or NONE! GODLINESS is CLEANLINESS

Unfortunately we vote with our dollars now a days, if we can’t get government to listen we have to support the people who are doing the right thing in a country gone mad with greed. Thank you for maintaining your grandfathers ethos, this company is proof to all the naysayers that it is possible to be make money without harming the environment or our fellow humans. We shouldn’t have to prove it, but at every turn of their argument against going green or upholding human rights there’s been Dr. Bronners showing them that they’re wrong, there’s a better way, thank you for being a little light in a very long dark tunnel. I’m slowly converting my family, they’ll come around eventually, until then everyone gets an almond soap bar in their stocking!
I'm not sure which stage you're referring to, so let me know if I don't answer your question here. As you saw in the video, bar soap is a two-stage process. In the first stage, we make the bar base, and the final step of that is the base being pushed through a screen and cut into noodles, similarly to the three milling stages that happen later in the bar pressing process. However, in this first stage, the soap is pushed through the screen not to mill it, but to create the noodles which then dry and cure. Later in the second stage, the essential oils are added to these noodles and the soap is milled three times (mixed thoroughly and pushed through the mesh) in order to mix in the essential oils, eliminate air pockets, and create a super smooth, dense, long-lasting bar soap.
I love the "unscented" bronner's soap... but get so mad that almost every store that sells them, puts them right next to the "scented" soaps. So, the smells get absorbed into the unscented. I have to drive across town to one location that stocks the unscented away from the other soaps.
Hi McGill- It's true. When you're not used to scent, you really notice even light scents! You might try ordering from our webstore and see how that works out for you. If you sign up to my newsletter on LisaBronner.com , you'll receive a code for 15% off your next purchase. Or head straight to the webstore at bit.ly/ShopDRBs.
Yeah very true...e.g if the unscented bar soap is with lavender one, the unscented one will start to smell a bit like lavender...I hate it when stores/venders do that..they should use their common sense and keep it separate.
Hi there- Check out my comment under the Many Magical Uses of Bar Soap video. It's really not possible to say how long a Castile Bar Soap will last because there is so much variety in how it's used. The same applies to our Castile Liquid Soap. But both soaps are super concentrated and because a little goes a long way, they both last a good long time. Here again is the link to the article on my website that dives into the differences between our Liquid and Bar Castile Soaps: www.lisabronner.com/liquid-vs-bar-in-dr-bronners-pure-castile-soap/
The deeper I dive into the Dr. Bronner rabbit hole, the deeper in love I fall. Thank you for making this video, Lisa!
LISA, ALL OF US HAVE MISSED YOU. HOPE YOU HAD A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HERE'S TO A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR.
Thank you, Jeni! Though I've been quiet on the video side of things, I've been active over on Facebook and my website. Join me there!

I have a question...why are the soaps milled first

I rushed here half way through your video to see how your grandaddy's bar soap is made
I love the "unscented" bronner's soap... but get so mad that almost every store that sells them, puts them right next to the "scented" soaps. So, the smells get absorbed into the unscented. I have to drive across town to one location that stocks the unscented away from the other soaps.

If we make the soap in the cold way, how many days will the soap be ready for use and marketing?
Hi there - Unfortunately, I do not have experience making cold-pour soap, so I don’t have guidance for you on this.
Hi, is the bar soap form as condensed or as strong as the liquid form? How long does one bar last typically compared to liquid?
Hi there- Check out my comment under the Many Magical Uses of Bar Soap video. It's really not possible to say how long a Castile Bar Soap will last because there is so much variety in how it's used. The same applies to our Castile Liquid Soap. But both soaps are super concentrated and because a little goes a long way, they both last a good long time.

Thanks for watching, Renee!
Why is salt water is needed yo make soap?
Hi there - For the bar soap, salt water helps to harden the bars and to keep them from getting mushy in the shower.
@GoingGreenwithLisaBronner thank you so much
Sorry, I am like a cat I never take showers. 😅 Just kidding! This is a fascinating process and really complex machines there.
Haha! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Hi
Marvelous 👍 I wold like see your factory
I'm sorry, but we're able to give tours our manufacturing plant.
I use 20% liquid dr bronners and 80% water in a foaming soap dispenser for washing my hands and it never dries them out
Excellent!
@@GoingGreenwithLisaBronner will the preservative still work with all that added water?
💖💖🙏🏻
Country name?
Hi there- This is in San Diego, California in the United States.
Do you have a favorite scent?
Hi TG- I have two! Almond and Citrus.
