Dr. Bronner's: The Natural Product You'll Use For Everything From Teeth To Toes To Toilets

Is your cabinet under the bathroom sink overflowing with products? Do you feel a little loopy after emerging from an enclosed area that you just cleaned with harsh chemicals? Does your skin get dry and unhappy with soaps from the drugstore? Are you out of toothpaste?

All of these problems can be solved with one big, colorful bottle covered in tiny writing. Dr. Bronner's castile soap is a naturally-derived concentrated oil-based soap that has more than 25 around the house and body care uses. It's completely vegan, uses only essential oils for fragrance and has been run by the same family for five generations (so they really know what they're doing!).

The soap was brought to America by German-Jewish Emanuel Bronner, and the company was started as it is known today in 1948, the company explains. It gained a large, loyal and enthusiastic following in the 1960s because of Bronner's vocal desire to unite all people, across ethnic and religious lines. The soap is also eco-friendly, animal-friendly and biodegradable, so its environmental impact is negligible compared to the detergent and chemical-based soaps and cleaning products on the market.

If none of the above has convinced you to try this amazing soap, we'll tell you about the 25 uses this crazy product has. Be sure to consult Lisa Bronner's dilution guide, which helps make a little go a long way. Different scents, made with different essential oils, work better for some uses than others, so do your research! The most popular soap is the peppermint oil one, which is tingly, delightful and a great way to wake up during your morning shower.
