Explain the draw to me. They smelly yummy but that's pretty much all I know about them. What do you use them for ?? I'm a product junkie - but haven't tried this yet !

I use them in a lot of homemade cleaning products (counter cleaner, bath spray, etc.) I also put a tbsp or two in my bath to relax (lavender!) I know there are lots more uses but I haven't explored too much beyond these.

TMI but the tea tree oil ones cured an external yeast infection that had been plaguing me for a loooong time. I literally had tried everything. Dr bronners is a life saver for me!

@raintreebee: SERIOUSLY THIS. I started using the tea tree oil one to cure summer sweaty boob rash that I'd had for years. Tea tree oil is an antibiotic, so it's great for tons of things like that. Eventually it started to dry out my skin a bit too much, and I switched to unscented.
It's just a really good, mild soap. No residue, doesn't dry. Very natural.

@raintreebee: Did you use it diluted/in a bath/how? Never heard of this, good to know!

@raintreebee: @sarac: I am going to have to pick some up today! NOTHING has gotten rid of my sweaty boob rash.

@maybebaby: I just use the bar with a washcloth in the shower. It is incredible that a bar of natural soap cured what lots of prescription and OTC drugs couldn't! I would pay lots of money for that soap if I had to. :). Tea tree oil is an amazing substance.

So do you always have to dilute the liquid soap ? Like, I couldn't just pour it on a bath puff and shower with it ?

I use it for body wash and for shaving. It is so nice for shaving and a little goes a long way.

@coacheswife123: I use it straight-up, and it works fine, but it is a little bit drying for me. I prefer the bar for bathing. I've started diluting the liquid, but I end up using 2x as much, so I don't think it really makes sense for me to dilute.
I also use it for LO, but definitely dilute that.
I really like it because the ingredients are organic and natural. No SLS, parabens, etc. I just feel better using it on my skin, knowing that whatever I use is absorbed into my body/bloodstream.

I only use it to wash my hands and makeup brushes.

We use it for a lot! Currently: Body Wash (It dilutes with the water in the Loofah) Hand Soap (Dilute with Water) Cleaning products, Detergent Booster, cleaning Makeup Brushes, etc... Agree with @Mrs. 64 that a little goes a long way!

I diluted the tea tree oil soap about 3 to 1. The unscented I just use straight up, but just a little bit. I keep meaning to try the rose water variety. Be sure to look for it in bulk at natural grocery stores - much much cheaper that way.

I use it as hand soap by diluting about 3 parts water to 1 part soap in foaming bottles. It also feels amazing to use the peppermint scent as a body soap (so refreshing!). We first got turned on to it at the hospital. The nurses gave it to us to wash pump parts and bottles. A little goes a long way. Great stuff.
