Dr. Bronner's ALMOND 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!!

Because the Baby-Mild contains no essential oils, imaginative grown-up babies can add their own favorites to craft personally unique bathing spaces (the Rosemary Extract is effective as an anti-oxidant in our soap at 0.005%, so contributes absolutely no scent).

Sal Suds All-Purpose Concentrated Cleaner

NEW IMPROVEMENTS FOR DR. BRONNER’S SAL SUDS

1) No Preservatives: We have raised the pH of Sal Suds to that of standard soap, which makes Sal Suds an even better grease cutter, while allowing us to produce Sal Suds
without using preservatives in either the ingredients or in the finished product. Sal Suds remains mild as before.
2) No Added Color: To make Sal Suds even more nature-friendly, we have removed the yellow dye.
3) Compassion for Animals: Dr. Bronner’s is qualified for the rabbit and stars logo of the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC). This logo certifies that our product and all of our ingredients are not tested on animals. The CCIC, a coalition of animal rights organizations, requires independent audit for confirmation.
4) Complete Ingredient Disclosure: All ingredients of Sal Suds are disclosed and described in regards to function and origin.

Effective-Concentrated-Mild • Biodegradable Cleaner
Sal Suds is an all-purpose cleaner, and is not intended for everyday body-washing. SAL SUDS is a balanced formulation of naturally derived surfactants with natural fir pine needle oil: it cleans and rinses with exceptional power, yet is mild & gentle on the skin. SAL SUDS is equally effective in hard or soft water, rinsing freely, hot or cold. It is 100% cruelty-free: no animal testing. SAL SUDS will bio-degrade rapidly after it has done its job, without affecting nature’s balance.

Directions/Instructions

1. 1-1/2 teaspoons per gallon water will clean your whole house.
2. 1-1/2 teaspoons does a sink of dishes.
3. Pour some directly on fabric stains before washing.
4. Use a 1/4 cup for a load of laundry.
5. Use it for cars, floors, rugs, and any other surface that is safe in contact with water, even wood floors!
6. For extra heavy jobs, cut it in half or use it straight.
Warning: Don’t drink! Keep out of eyes!

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS: Water, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Coco-Betaine, Lauryl Glucoside, Fir Needle Oil, Spruce Oil.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS): This surfactant cuts grease and dirt, generates copious suds, and biodegrades quickly and completely. SLS is made by combining a sulfate group with lauryl alcohol from coconut oil, then attaching sodium. If improperly formulated, SLS can irritate skin, but our superb formula uses coco-betaine and lauryl glucoside to counter this.
Coco-Betaine: Mild and easily biodegradable, coco-betaine is formed by combining coconut fatty acids with betaine (a nature-identical synthetic so-named because it was first discovered in sugar beets). This foam-boosting cleansing agent buffers irritation caused by SLS.
Lauryl Glucoside: This powerful grease-cutting surfactant is especially mild and quickly biodegradable, and is made by combining glucose from corn with fatty alcohols from coconut and palm kernel oils. Lauryl glucoside not only works with SLS to cut dirt and oily soils with exceptional ease, but also combines with coco-betaine to give Sal Suds smooth mildness.
Fir Needle Oil & Spruce Oil: Pure essential oils from fir and spruce give Sal Suds its wonderful aroma. Most other cleaners use synthetic fragrances or cheap harsh pine stump oil.

Dr. Bronner's Pure-Castile Soaps

LIQUID INGREDIENTS: Water, Saponified Coconut-Hemp-Olive Oils (with retained Glycerin), Olive Fatty Acids, Bitter Almond Oil (or) Aloe Vera (or) Eucalyptus Oil (or) Lavandin & Lavender Oils (or) Peppermint Oil (or) Tea Tree Oil, Rosemary Extract

BAR INGREDIENTS: Saponified Coconut & Palm Oils (with retained Glycerin), Water, Olive Fatty Acids, Hemp Oil, Bitter Almond Oil (or) Aloe Vera (or) Eucalyptus Oil (or) Lavandin & Lavender Oils (or) Lemon Oil (or) Natural Rose Fragrance (or) Peppermint Oil (or) Tea Tree Oil, Rosemary Extract, Vitamin C, Vitamin E

     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, Parentingand New Age.
