Please do not dilute and then store it. Dr Bronner’s themselves admit than no challenge testing has been done. Once you add water to a soap base, all bets are off regarding mold, yeast, bacteria, and fungus.
this was lots of fun and informative! You guys are so cute and funny – hope to see Jake in more of your videos!
They now have Sal Suds – it's a great household cleaner.
If too oily put it in foam form!
Awesome review. Even if this video sucked I would have given y'all a thumbs up I'd only for the sacrifice y'all made in brushing your teeth with that haha
I swear by that stuff. One mint, the other lavender.
I’ve brushed my teeth I didn’t enjoy it at all, however, it’s a great mouthwash
When I see what all it does I wonder what will happen to our Dry skin?
Will it strip our skin of it's precious oils?
"I like putting towels on my head and you should too" LMAOOOO
For anyone who wants to use Dr Bronner's as a shampoo, go to their website/blog & read up. There's a period of adjustment for hair going from commercial shampoos – which evidently are mainly detergents – and real soap – which is what Dr Bronner's is. You may initially not like it as a shampoo, but once your hair becomes accustomed/acclimated, your hair will be thicker, more manageable, shinier etc. You will wonder why you ever used anything else. But BE AWARE – there is more to it when you're first starting off. Many people experience greasiness & other issues until the hair adjusts fully, which can be anywhere from a couple of days to 2-3 weeks. Just hang in there & give it a try!! Highly recommend…
Very helpful! They do have a toothpaste! I don’t know if they had it when this video was made, but still lol! Y’all are hilarious! Glad I found you guys! 💗
Hahaha Loved the video!! you guys are so fun!
An apple cider vinegar rinse after using it on your hair, will change your life!
How do you not have any plants!?!?!
I have to admit I don't love it for shampoo either.
I use this for washing my dog… in combination with other withings like fractionated coconut oil. Works great!
I am a naturally greasy/oily guy but I’m not Italian. This stuff doesn’t cut it for hygiene purposes but around the house it’s great.
Hello I am one of Mr. Settanni’s student. My name is Emma and Mr. Settanni is my favorite teacher.
“We’re very lonely.” “Well we have each other” lol! Thanks for trying things out! I got the two pack this weekend at Costco (for 8.99!) and Im using it for a handwash. Definetly going to try it on my two dogs lol!
Ha Ha probably an uncommon one is using in a paint sprayer as a defoaming agent for casein paints. I love the stuff. 🙂
Cute video lol. When he said we don't have plants were very lonely, she said we have each other 😂
I just got a bottle of the peppermint. I'll write today's date on the bottom to track how long one bottle lasts me. I'll be using it for everything. I ve only used this in the past for showering.
vinigar stinks, smells bad. Ty so fuck castille soap for laundry
Washed the cat with Baby Unscented and it work great!
Do not wash your hair if you have white or salt and pepper hair, becuse of the high ph factor it turn it darker.
Does it wash off make up?
Thank you so much for this video!
Its hard to find that product here in the philippines,,i dont know why and if i found super expensive.
I love it as a shampoo! And I get oily hair.
It works good as an all purpose cleaner but please do not use it in your hair, mine is thick and wavy but it made it break off.
It’s drying to the hair
I add a tsb. of Dr. Bronner's to the water when I water my plants! Keeps the fungus flies away!!
HOLY GRAIL👍👏🤗
How did you do the mixing of the dish soap …into the bottle can you help
Where do you buy this soap? Is it at my grocery store? 🥰🥰
I truly enjoyed watching you guys. First video -of this type (home-made/non-professional), to which I’ve subscribed.🥰👍❤️🇨🇦
I just bought this for the first time last week and I scrubbed my carpets with it! Im a new fan for sure
I bet that would hurt if you got it in ur eye
I like Dr. Bronner's a lot. However, if you use it in place of laundry detergent, it is a little expensive. Laundry DOES smell great when you use it.
It’s great for laundry 👍🏾
LEYKIS 101 !!!
I used this to wash my dog (I also added a little baking soda and water) and also used on my tomato plants. It smells so much better than the horrible dog shampoo from the store which made him smell worse! Just research which essential oils that are safe for dogs. Also the plant spray killed horn worms and stink bugs but I think you have to it daily.
I now always travel with a travel sized bottle of Dr. Bronners.
Need to wash some cups, plates, or cutlery = Dr. Bronners.
Need to clean a surface = Dr. Bronners.
Wash some clothes = Dr. Bronners.
I wouldn’t normally travel with bubble bath, but if you have Dr. Bronners you can have bubble.
I still take my own shampoo and conditioner bars. Because we mostly travel as a family one shampoo bar will last us all many trips. While a travel sized bottle of Dr. Bronners would be used up quickly and I don’t want to take multiple or a bigger bottle. It’s very handy as a spare though.
I will be testing it out for shaving, but at the moment I have a bundle of travel sized shaving gel that I really like.
Think I’ll still bring my own toothpaste. Because even if I used it I don’t think I could convince the kids to brush their teeth with soap. Again though it’s handy as a spare, and better that not being able to brush your teeth.
Change your shower head to one that filters out clorine buy from Lowes cheap and works good for skin.
