The folks here who bash the product obviously have not followed the instructions to dilute this soap to a fare-thee-well before using. It's not always easy to find the instructions hidden among the rantings on the label, but you need to Dilute, dilute, dilute! Ok! :-)

For hand soap, I use 1 Tablespoon of Peppermint Soap to 8 oz water in a foaming container. This one tablespoon of product lasts over a month in my house. My husband always uses the hand soap foam to remove his collar stains and any greasy stains on his clothing - Simply pretreat and wash as usual (with normal detergent, not Dr. Bronners) I use the hand soap concentration on a wrung out, wet cloth to clean walls and woodwork. Grime and fingerprints disappear and the room is left with a pleasant, light scent. The key to all of this is to dilute, dilute, dilute!

For bath or shower use, you still need to dilute, which leaves you with a very thin, watery, cleaner. To use it, you have to either get a foaming container or a spray bottle - just spritz, foam up with a washcloth, puff, or loofah, then rinse. If you have unpleasant tingly sensations or you can't rinse off easily, then you need to dilute the product even further.

I cannot claim the stuff works well as a shampoo, because I have long, fine hair. Dr. Bronner's leaves my hair a dried and tanged mess. But my husband has coarse short hair and loves using diluted Dr. Bronner's as a shampoo, he says it leaves his hair really clean.

At the strengths I'm writing about, you will use less than a penny's worth of soap to wash each day. No other cleaner can come close in terms of effectiveness or economy. Dr. Bronner may have had an "interesting" point of view as far as religion was concerned, but he sure knew how to make wonderful soap!

I just got this today at Trader Joe's. [$] for 32oz. This price is a total ripoff. I used it on my hands for a soap, but it dried them out. Only used 1 drop. But to be fair, I have dry skin and well water. Just about anything except goat's milk soap dries it out. I then used a little mixed with water to wash my hair. I have a filter on my showerhead, so this was a better test. I used it as a body wash, and my skin isn't as dry as my hands were. My hair felt soft while it was wet, so it seems good as a shampoo. I only used a tiny bit mixed with water. What got on my face has dried out my skin, but again, even plain hot water will do that to me.

    Comments about Dr. Bronner's 18-in-1 Hemp Pure-Castile Soap, Peppermint, 32 fl oz:

    I have used Dr Bronner's soap for 45 years! I discovered it in a local health food store (before health food stores were on every corner) and originally bought it because it is manufactured in a neighboring town. But I continue to buy it because I love its new fragrances (it was originally available only in eucalyptus), its convenience, its natural feel, its flexibility, and pretty much everything. If I get down to the last inch in the bottle, I mix it with a cup of water and it lasts for almost as long as the straight stuff. It's quite inexpensive when used as recommended--even overusing it as I do. If you haven't tried it, you're lucky--because there's a real treat coming when you do!

      I transfer some to a smaller container and use on my face and body in the shower. You only need a small amount and it not only smells great but makes your skin tingle and shine. Love it.

          I started using this product 39 years ago while living in the Rocky Mountains. I started using Dr. Bronner's soap because of it's biodegradable propertys. I wanted to take a responsible attitude toward down stream neighborlyness. I've used these soaps for ever year of my life and will do so as long as it is sold .

                I use this every single day for body wash (sometimes face). I did try washing my hair with it but left it feeling so greasy. I brushed my teeth with it as well and it felt a little weird but it did clean them.

                  Cleans anything and everything and leaves behind a fresh scent. Peppermint is especially cooling to the skin during the summer.[*] Only 2 sugestions - Transfer it to a smaller container as it comes out too fast in the original one. Can be drying to the skin if not rinsed off well.

                    Comments about Dr. Bronner's 18-in-1 Hemp Pure-Castile Soap, Peppermint, 32 fl oz:

                    I use this stuff in the shower every day, around the house for general cleaning at least twice a week and almost daily for laundry. It cleans very well and leaves a nice light peppermint-hemp scent (a little hippie but I like it). The peppermint can be strong at first, and a little 'tingly' on sensitive areas of the body but it a good clean feeling and a few drops is all thats needed to get a good scrub.
                    I tried using it as a shampoo but it left my hair feeling a little waxy and rough, so I'm sticking with t-gel, baking soda and apple cider vinegar.
                    Other than that, I'm a newfound fan and I love this stuff!

                    I love the smell, I love the tingly clean feeling after I scrub with this soap in the morning. However, I tried it on my hair and don't like how it feels, other than that I use it for the floors, counters, my bathroo,s, everything, even to bathe my children and even wash the dog. Gotta love it!
