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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
This is definitely the soap for someone who needs that squeaky feeling to feel clean. I like this stuff, especially for how all-purpose it is, but I wish it lathered more and had a little less strong of a scent.
I have a hard time controlling myself with these soaps because I know they should get distilled before using on your body and hair and I always forget to and it makes my hair and body too dry. Always make sure you're distilling it... and I try not to use it on my hair anymore, just my body and other cleaning uses around the house. I love the Lavender one and the Peppermint one the most!
LOVE the Dr. Bronner's Peppermint soap as a bodywash because it smells and feels so clean. I'm only deducting points because it doesn't moisturize very well and tends to dry my skin out a bit. Usually i'll alternate between two different washes to make avoid that issue.
I’ve used all different kinds of their products. My favorite and one that is always in my bag is the lavender hand sanitizer spray. It smells so fresh, and doesn’t leave that stick feeling. Their soap is great if you know how to use it, like they say, dilute dilute dilute!
Dr. Bronner's is great, if you know how to use it properly. It was a bit of a learning curve to use such concentrated soap, but once you get then hang of it you're set for life!

Love this as an everyday soap, but also use it in the garden (diluted with water) for the treatment of pests. A great all round, castille soap without unwanted ingredients. Typically buy it directly, but have found it at TJ Maxx a few times too!
Dr. Bronner's gets the job done. I love the peppermint scent and found my favorite hand sanitizer through DB during the pandemic. The soap works really well, though I find myself using a ton of it because the soap is so thin so a lot comes out when you use.
Feedback
Would be interested to see a pump bottle format
Dr. Bronner's promotes being the one stop shop for all your cleaning needs (plus some moral ABC and all-one or none stuff). There are 18 uses listed on their website: Massage Oil Acne Fighter Mouthwash Toothpaste Anti-frizz Serum Shower Reading Pet Shampoo Makeup Brush Cleaner On-the-go Cleaner Car Wash House Cleaning Shaving Deodorant Allergy Free Soap Hand Sanitizer Shampoo Soul Cleaner Delicate Clothes Detergent Did you notice they slipped soul cleaner in there? I think it's really only good as a body wash. Decent as a shampoo if you're cool with a deep clean. Really not advisable as toothpaste. It's great for when your'e traveling light. I did a bike tour a few years ago and only carried one little bottle of Dr. Bronner's peppermint and it lasted a whole month. It's affordable, smells great, and the company seems to genuinely care to do well by other people and the planet.

Favorite scent is the almond one! It’s always sold out, but it smells really good!
I like Dr. Bronner's and am a long-time fan of castile soap, all-purpose around the house. However, I do feel like Dr. Bronner's comes at a premium and you can find many other castile soaps out there at a cheaper price per ounce.
The GOAT! Dr Bronner's Castille Soap is the best all around cleanser you can buy. It truly has so many uses and gives you a deep clean from your hair, body, laundry, even as a multipurpose cleaner at home. The scents are strong and pure. No unnecessary chemical ingredients.
I’ve only tried Dr. Bronner’s Almond-scented soap, and I have to say—it smells so good. It has a really warm, sweet scent that makes it feel like a cozy treat every time I use it in the shower. We've only used it as a body wash, and it's worked great for that purpose. I also really appreciate that it's a cleaner alternative to a lot of conventional body washes out there. While it might not be perfectly clean (I believe it contains palm fruit oil), it's still one of the better, more natural options I’ve found—and that makes me feel good about using it. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it if you're looking for a gentle, great-smelling, and more natural body wash.
This is an excellent soap from an ethical company that cares about its employees and the earth. Their ingredients are responsibly sourced and have quality products all around. Dr Bronners is widely available for a good reason
This is a SUPER brand, she’s organic and their solid soap feels soooo smooth on the skin… It’s a bit expensive but it is really good quality!!
I love Dr. Bronner's peppermint Castile soap so much! I use it for everything. Cleaning the house, washing my hair, body wash, you name it. I don't even dilute it so you can imagine how many bottles I go through. The first time I used it I thought my hind parts were chewing winter fresh 😩 The tea tree one is great for if you're feeling a little yeasty down there lol. Side note: I use Dr. Bronner's so often that it's how I knew I had COVID19. I couldn't smell the peppermint soap and instantly knew something was wrong

I’m a fan of their lip balm and their body. One of my go to for maximum hydration on the lips. I’m also a fan of the soap. It’s not for everyone and I would recommend for daily use

I love the bar soap. Looking at lotion. What do you recommend for lotion with sensitive skin. Should I try same line?

I love this brand and it's been a go to for years now. I personally use this soap as body wash and cleanser and it has by far the cleanest list of ingredients compared to other soaps out there. As this is a multi purpose soap, you can use it for almost anything but the down part is that this soap doesn't have enough strength to be used as a cleaning product on its own. By that I mean if I was to use this to wash dishes it would take me an obscene amount of time to just scrub down one pot without using more than what you would normally use with dish soap. Hence why I use this as body wash and cleanser only. But, definitely is worth every penny. The pros are that it's all organic and clean and you have an array of selections of scents - my personal favorite is peppermint which is amazing when used during the summers. Pro tip: my acne prone lovelies, I highly suggest using the Tea-Tree oil as a cleanser! It's helped with my skin, but remember to dilute this with water and heavily moisturize afterwards as this can be drying on its own.

I bought the liquid soap. unscented. I have very sensitive skin and tried Dr Bronner's while I travel to Sydney Australia. I bought it there. I don't like fragranced soap. This is just perfect for me. My hands can feel the moisture after the wash.

I specifically use the Tea Tree one. It really is multi-purpose. I bought it to use as a body wash because I was experiencing extreme itchiness, and the tea tree helps a ton. I also have mild body acne, and this cleared it right up, which was a pleasant surprise. I also used a few drops of this in an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner and WOW the sparkle. I am unsure if it's recommended for that, so do your research first, but I am extremely impressed by its cleaning power. Overall, definitely make sure you follow the directions and dilute,
