Reviews mention

  • Clean, transparent ingredients list
  • Potent, aromatic scent profiles
  • Versatile, multi-purpose formulations
  • Ethical, sustainability-focused brand
  • Watery, runny liquid texture
  • Drying, grippy skin feel
  • Strong, overpowering fragrance
  • Low, modest lather production

Dr. Bronner’s earns strong reviews as an effective, ultra-versatile cleanser and body care line, praised for clean ingredients, bold scents like Peppermint, Almond, Tea Tree, and Lavender, and multi-use performance from shower to household. Reviews also flag drawbacks: the liquid soap runs thin, can be drying or “grippy” without proper dilution, scent strength can overwhelm, and lather is modest—making technique and dilution essential for best results.

  • I picked up the Dr. Bronner’s anise toothpaste out of curiosity and ended up loving the flavour. It’s fresh, a little different, and way more enjoyable than standard mint. My mouth feels clean after using it, and it’s easily become one of my go-to toothpastes.

  • Dr. Bronner’s Organic Hand & Body Lotion in Orange Lavender is easily one of my all time favorite products, full stop. The scent is incredible — that perfect blend of bright citrus and calming lavender that makes moisturizing feel like a little self care moment. It absorbs beautifully, leaves your skin soft without any greasy residue, and the ingredients are so clean and good for you inside and out. I feel good about putting this on my body every single day. Simple, honest, effective, and it smells like heaven. An absolute staple.

  • I absolutely love the Peppermint and the lavendar soap. Bought the Peppermint to use as a face wash for my kids that suffer from acne. It works so well! Within a few months their faces looked amazing. I bought the lavendar to use as a dog shampoo and it has helped my great dane that has long suffered with skin issues.

  • I love dr bronners Castile soaps. Multipurpose uses, a bottle goes a long way. I use it for my laundry, dish and hand soap, and body soap. The cleanest multipurpose soap ever in the market! No chemicals!

  • This soap is amazinggg!!! Smell wonderful and has a good size for the price. There been doing this soap for year and has the best clean ingredients that you skin can ask for. Definitely recommend to try because after you don’t want another!!

  • Always impressed by the quality of Dr. Bronner’s products from the ingredients to the packaging. This tea tree organic sugar soap is awesome. It smells great and works great for shaving - I have sensitive skin and this leaves my legs feeling smooth and hydrated.

  • So good! Clean ingredients without feeling like you’re sacrificing at all. I use the Castile soap and love all of the scents that they have. Would recommend especially if you have more sensitive skin!

  • One of my sustainability goals is to buy more products in concentrated form, so there's not a bunch of excess water being shipped, causing emissions and higher costs. Dr. Bronner's soap is basically the gold standard of concentrated cleaning products - a tiny bottle holds enough (very effective) concentrated cleaning power to fill up a full-size spray bottle multiple times when diluted.

  • I love Dr. Bronner’s products, my favorite line is the peppermint line. I loved when they carried the mini samples of Castile Soap, that was how I first got to test the different kinds of soap. I have their peppermint hand sanitizer and that is a fan favorite in the car. I get lots of compliments for how it smells so nice. Definitely a go to for backpacking and on the go! I enjoy their lemon Castile Oil for the citrus 🍋 smell for showers. The peppermint sugar soap is a nice touch to the bathroom to wash your hands.

  • Dr. Bronner's castile soap is a cult favorite among the many, many consumers looking to replace chemical-laden products with a cleaner, less toxic alternative. Although I despise their packaging, the product is what matters, and it delivers.

  • Over the years I have used & loved products from DOCTOR BRONNERS. I love all their products, from lip balms to bar soap to the big jugs of castile liquid soap. I like to buy their small bottles (travel size and the 8oz size) to give as gifts. I buy the big bottles of unscented and lavender to make my own cleaners. The mini sizes are great for travel. The blue label peppermint smells great but it's too "spicy" to dilute and use as body wash.

  • It is a good all-purpose cleaner if you are trying to avoid the use of chemical cleaners. Smells better than scrubbing bubbles.this soap effective and long-lasting, making their skin feel smooth and soft, it lasts for two months of twice-daily.

  • A household staple — I’ve always got a bottle of this on hand. Multi-use + super effective, I love using this all over my home, whether it’s in the shower, on my counters, or added to a soap dispenser as a foaming hand soap.

  • I will use ANYTHING Dr Bronner’s! I love the liquid soap, bar soap, & toothpaste! They have so many options & amazing products! The one thing that I have not tried is their chocolate! That’s next on my list. I’ve been using it for YEARS! I’ll never give this one up. The soaps are my absolute favorite. They leave your skin feeling so good & I love the peppermint a lot! Highly recommend! From someone that’s been using over 20 years, I am a huge fan! The lip balms are FANTASTIC also! I have them all & they are the best! Very absorbent & get rid of my dry lips immediately!

  • I really like the Dr. Bonner’s coconut oil and use it all the time for my skin. Anytime I feel dry I lather up on it. Smells so good and lasts a long time. The brand has a lot of great products with clean ingredients.

  • The mint soap is great, the smell is incredibly strong which is great for the shower, the product cleans well. The only negative that I find is that the product is super runny and hard to get a real nice slippery foam on my skin, it washes off to leave my skin a bit grippy, I prefer a more moisturised feel.

  • Their lip balms and castille soaps are top notch and quite affordable.

  • I used to use Dr. Bronner's while I was in the US. It smelled okay, but I'm not sure it was actually very effective at any of the things it claimed to do. It was way too watery for a body wash or shampoo.

  • This brand is clean and sustainable, as well as cruelty free which is awesome. For the money it is worth it. That being said it can be hard to figure out how to use it because it foams too much. The dilution thing is kind of confusing but maybe because I’m not used to it

  • The bar soap will get you right. I really like the almond scent but peppermint feels so cooling on the skin. I like that the soaps come paper wrapped and makes it easy to recycle. Make sure that you get a soap saver if you decide to try it out, the soap will turn to mush if left wet too long. Five stars: 🧼Good proce per soap bar 🧼Eco-friendlier wrapping/packaging 🧼Nice variety of scents to try 🧼interesting brand message 🫧effective product
