A few weeks back I accompanied my friend Antonette to the Westerly Natural Market (8th Ave/54th). As soon as we walked in Antonette's jaw dropped when she saw Dr. Bronner's 18 for 1 Soap bottles for sale. She whipped out her cell and called almost everone to announce her awesome discovery. I just watched curiously because I've never heard of Dr. Bronner's product.
"Are you serious? It's good stuff, get one!" she told me as she grabbed 5 of the big bottles for herself.
The choices of scents are Rose Oil (this one sells fast), Almond Oil, Eucalyptus, Peppermint (refreshing for summertime), Lavender, Tea Tree, and Baby Mild Castille which is unscented.
I went with the Almond Oil scent and tested it out that same day in the shower. As I rubbed it between my hands it created a nice creamy lather, and the soft smell of sweet Almonds was delightful on my skin. I then tried it on my legs for shaving and it is AWESOME! I experience hardly any knicks, no irritation afterwards, and my legs felt smoothed. This week I started to use it on my hair as shampoo - WOW! I didn't want to leave the shower, I even did two lathers only because it was that enjoyable to my scalp.
I'm just amazed how mild this soap is and the cleansing power it has.

Dr. Bronners is an excellent "8 for 1 soap". Not only is it all natural but it is PH Balanced so it neutralizes the harsh effects of water. A shower filter is recommended but if you don't have one, Dr. Bronner's is the next best thing.
Good Health to all.

I know it's got a lot of uses, i've only discovered those 3 so far. I will try your ideas too. Thanks April!
Good health to you too AHolder!
Thanks for your comments.
What would I do without Dr Bronners soap? Found out about it, from my sister, almost two years ago and have been hooked ever since. Love both the Peppermint and the Lavender scents.......need to try the other ones too. Great site Clauds
The lady that assisted me at Westerly said that Peppermint is popular scent during summer because of the cooling agent. I may have to take this on my trip to Spain!
