Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Pure-Castile Soap has
our most controversial label, as it includes Dr. Bronner's ecstatic love
poetry. When the Almond-Castile label is rhythmically recited while
bathing and breathing in the almond-scented steam-misted waters of the
inner bath-tub sanctum, people enter deep, dreamy, mystical trance
states of super-sensuous luxuriousness and consciousness, and emerge
from their bath as if from the Fountain of Life--reborn, renewed,
refreshed and ready to help unite the human race! All-One! All One!
Supermild
Castile has outstanding water softening and cleansing powers,
preferable to harsh soap & defattening synthetics. It does not cut
dirt, but dissolves it. It is the mildest, most pleasant soap you have
ever used.
Soap is made by saponifying a fat or oil with a strong
alkali. A fat or oil is a triglyceride, which means that three fatty
acids of various carbon lengths are attached to a glycerine backbone.
The strong alkali is either sodium (for bars) or potassium (for liquids)
hydroxide. The saponification process is a simple one-step reaction
with no waste generated: the glycerine is split off from the fatty
acids, and the fatty acids combine with the sodium or potassium to form
soap, while the hydroxide forms water. The result is soap, glycerin and
water (no alkali remains).
Quality soap-making consists in great
part in choosing the right proportions of the right oils with their
different fatty acids. Most commercial soaps skimp on quality because of
cost, and use lots of tallow from beef fat with a little bit of coconut
or palm kernel oil. Our unsurpassed soaps use olive, hemp, and palm
oils instead of tallow, and use three to four times more coconut oil
than commercial soaps. Saponified coconut oil generates high-lather
cleansing even in hard water because it has shorter-chain saturated
fatty acids. Hemp, olive, and palm based soaps make a mild, smooth,
creamy lather, because these oils contain longer chain unsaturated and
polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Dr. Bronner's makes a higher
quality soap in other ways as well. Unlike most commercial soapmakers
who distill the glycerin out of their soaps to sell, we retain it in our
soap for its superb moisturizing qualities. We also superfat our soap
with olive fatty acid, which both ensures that there is no free alkali,
and lowers the pH, making a milder, smoother lather. We use rosemary
extract and plant-derived vitamin antioxidants to protect freshness (the
rosemary is effective at 0.005%, so it contributes absolutely no
scent). We do not add any chelating agents, dyes, whiteners, or
synthetic fragrances.
We use only 100% pure high quality
essential oils. Our liquid soaps are so concentrated that they are only a
few percent away from being a solid, which ecologically saves on
packaging materials. They are a superb value, costing less than
less-concentrated inferior detergent body-wash "liquid soaps." Our soaps
are most popular for at-home washing, but they also are the choice when
camping and hiking, as our soaps are so biodegradable and
nature-friendly. Dr. Bronner's soaps have spread by quality and word of
mouth alone into virtually every health food store in the country.
Unsolicited articles raving about our soaps have appeared in magazines
and newspapers as diverse as Natural Health, Outdoor Gear, Vogue, The
Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, The Associated Press, The Wall
Street Journal, Parenting and New Age.
