    I went back to using Dr. Bronner's soap about a month ago. Previously, I was using a different castile soap, which was a bit cheaper, but the store I go to stopped carrying it for some reason. So now I am using Dr. Bronner's again. It's a great soap. I pretty much use it for everything -- not just showering but laundry as well. It's not cheap, but it's a damn good soap.

    I was wondering, what is everyone's favorite? I was using the lavender, but yesterday I bought some of the peppermint, which I haven't tried yet.

    I use the Almond on my skin, and the Tea tree on my dreads.

    You know you can dilute dr. bronners right??? I like hemp best ;)

    I've never found it expensive...one of the cheaper organic soaps probably. But a really great company whose gone fair trade working with the hemp seed company nutiva to develop fair trade facilities in certain countries.

    Dr. Bronners+Nutiva also sued the FDA a while back when they tryed to make hemp illegal...and they won too.

    Peppermint for warm weather (that cooling tingle sucks in a 55 degree or less bathroom)
    babymild (which is the unscented) with my own EO blends for cool weather.

    DON"T DRINK SOAP! DILUTE! DILUTE! OK!

    i love bronner's.

    hey rat, since you're in rochester, do you have a problem with hard water? i tried using it before i moved, and the hard water casued it to leave this nasty residue all over everything. it turned my socks grey in the laundry. i could remove the gunk from my hair with a vinegar rinse, but had to give it up when i dreaded. (i use sunflower's shampoo bars now.) baking soda in the laundry followed by vinegar in the rinse helped the grey sock problem. just wondering if you'd had similar problems.

    i prefer the lavender, too btw. i use lavender essential oil to fight germs & freshen the place up when cleaning.

    I'm a fan of the almond and the lavender for my dreads and my body! And for the mood lifting labels. I love Dr. Bronner's too!

    My favorite plain soap is Kirk's castille bar. It's cheap, but wonderful. As for my favorite Dr. Bronner's soap, I'd have to say it's a tie between lavender/baby.

    Pour some of the peppermint soap into your hot bath water for a first rate experience.

    You'll come out smelling divine.

    I love the tea tree variety. It made a great wash for my eyebrow piercing when it was still healing.

    nope. I have issues with soaps and hard water too. Vinegar rinses/ lemon water fix it, and I wash the shower with baking soda then vinegar.
