Dr. Bronners Pure-Castile Bar Soap

Dr. Bronner's Pure-Castile Bar Soap is a 140 g bar of true soap, made in the USA by saponifying coconut, palm, olive, hemp seed and jojoba oils rather than blending synthetic detergents. The cherry blossom version is scented with a natural cherry blossom fragrance, fruity over a soft floral, and it lathers up smooth and rinses clean. Keep it at the basin or in the shower as the everyday bar for hands, face and body when you want something lighter and more floral than the mint and tea tree bars.

Product Strengths

• Washes hands, face and body at the basin or in the shower, and lathers into wet hair as well.
• Smooth lather that rinses clean and leaves skin feeling comfortable rather than tight.
• Fruity, lightly floral cherry blossom scent, the softest option in the bar range.
• Grated or blended into a soap cream, the same bar does dishes, floors and delicates.
• A true soap: vegetable oils saponified into soap and glycerin, with no synthetic detergents, dyes or added foaming agents.
• Coconut, palm, olive, hemp seed and jojoba oils, with certified fair trade ingredients marked on the ingredient list.
• No animal ingredients, so it suits a vegan routine.
• Comes wrapped in 100% post-consumer recycled paper.

Suitable For / Not Suitable For

Suitable for: Everyday washing of hands, face and body; vegan and fair trade routines.

Not suitable for: Anyone allergic or sensitive to an ingredient on the pack, and anyone avoiding fragranced washes.

Not suitable for: Anyone avoiding fragranced products, or who reacts to linalool or benzyl alcohol.

Suggested Use

Wet the bar and lather it on wet hands or a washcloth to wash the hands, face and body, then rinse. For hair, rub the wet bar into very wet hair, lather and rinse, then follow with a diluted apple cider vinegar or citrus hair rinse. For a bath, add 60 mL of grated bar soap or 120 mL of soap cream to running warm bath water; it does not bubble but it still cleans. For shaving, lather the bar over the area to build a creamy foam, or cut a piece to sit in the bottom of a shaving cup and whip up the lather with a wet brush. For makeup removal, lather the bar on to wet hands, massage into the skin and rinse.

The same bar is used around the house. For handwashing dishes, rub a dishcloth or brush on the bar, or dissolve 30 mL of grated bar soap or 60 mL of soap cream in about 6 L of very warm running water. For mopping sealed wood, laminate and stone floors, add 15 mL of grated bar soap or 60 mL of soap cream to 4 L of hot water, then dunk the mop and wring it out thoroughly. To make soap cream, dice the bar into cubes, soak in 960 mL of water for 24 hours and blend on the lowest speed.

Keep out of eyes. If contact occurs, flush your eyes with water for 15 minutes. Consult a physician if irritation persists.
