Dr Bronners Organic Castile Liquid Reviews Summary

Scent

Pros:

• "Smells authentic and calming. Like almond essential oil.loved it and my husband who avoids fragrances, who was against me trying this, loved it."
• "This almond scent is milder than the original peppermint but works just as effectively."
• "The scent is very natural and authentic too, not perfume-like."
• "I LOVE the smell of the Almond/Hemp soap at all times of the day."
• "It has a nice light almond nutty scent.. not too powerful but I feel like it does linger on my hands when used as a hand soap."
• "The scent is intoxicating. Sweet almond with a hint of hemp."
• "It smells like your washing yourself in marzipan."

Cons:

• "They feel incredibly harsh on my skin contrary to their claims to be gentle."
• "Only problem I have with this is the smell, everyone hyped this smell and I hated it! Really hated it."
• "The one I just got does NOT smell right, and is not as concentrated. It smells like really strong chemicals."
• "I wouldn't buy this castile soap again because I find the almond smell is too much for me!"
• "The Fragrance is sweet and nice, but the leftover based castile smell is AWFUL."
• "The lingering scent afterwards is horrible."
• "Smells good at first but a few minutes after washing, it turns sour and weird."

Effectiveness and Versatility

Pros:

• "One of these will last me a good 5 months which includes showering, some laundry and the odd job around the house."
• "I love these soaps. I've tried the peppermint and almond. I love that they are not watery thin like some others and they lather well."
• "We use it for everything, general cleaning, handwashing, showers, shampoo."
• "I have replaced my laundry detergent, dish soap, body soap and all purpose cleaner with this."
• "It’s your body wash, shampoo, face wash, dish soap, laundry detergent, grease remover and then some."
• "You can do everything from brush your teeth to wash clothes to your hair or body...great great product."
• "I use it for hand and body wash for my entire family, it's mild enough to add to my toddler's bath water; and I also use it for household cleaning like bathrooms and floors."

Cons:

• "Bottle top was partially open spilling the contents. Soap had soaked through the box. Also, the soap had a foul smell."
• "Unfortunately, it doesn't work too well as a hand soap unless it is in a specialized dispenser."
• "One problem: All the plastic used to package the item and send it to me, which possibly negates the environmental friendliness of the product."
• "It does not moisturize whatsoever it is great for your hair because it takes everything out of it so it’s like using vinegar on it."
• "I had to use more than a drop to get it soapy for bathing use the smell was okay and my skin kinda felt dry after use like it sucked the moisture out of me."
• "I just wouldn't call it 'soap' persay, as it is oily, does not leave me feeling clean but works great as a bath and soothing wash of some sort for me."
• "It tends to leave a filmy weird feeling on my skin and hair no matter how much I cut it with water."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "This is an incredibly effective yet gentle soap and it is completely organic and chemical free."
• "It lasts for ages - great value."
• "It’s great value for money especially if you buy the huge size nearly a litre."
• "When purchased through Amazon, it is a lot cheaper than in stores."
• "The gallon may seem like a lot of money but it last my family for a year."
• "You get a lotta bang for your buck with this product."
• "A little goes a long way and it lasts a long time so am looking forward to many years of buying and using this soap."

Cons:

• "The product is great, the price not so much. I found this exact item in the 32 oz size for the same price that is being charged on Amazon for the 16 oz size."
• "The large bottle is usually around 14 or 15 dollars... When it arrived I discovered it is a tiny bottle."
• "They purposely do not tell you the amount of ounces in this particular bottle. I feel scammed!!!!!"
• "This is twice the price it should be for the size."
• "I was charged about $10 more than the price listed for the 16oz. two pack."
• "Beware. If you purchase from this seller you will receive two 16 ounce bottles for the same price as you can get two 32 ounce bottles for if you buy through the Dr Bronner’s store on Amazon."
• "This was the travel size... This was too much for this little bottle. I was very upset and would not have purchased at that price."
