Anyone use natural soap?

Post by amdda01 »

This got rave reviews from Amazon:

Organic Castile Liquid Soap Peppermint Dr Bronners 16 oz

Anyone prefer natural soap over regular body wash? Anyone hear about "sodium laryl sulfate" being dangerous?

I've read in a couple of places that that stuff isn't great for you, but in general I follow the rule of distrusting artificial chemicals that are hard to pronounce. I prefer Kirk's Castile, which is made of coconut oil. Cleans great and doesn't have any crap in it!

Pointedstick, maybe you could cite where or what about Dr. Bronner's is bad?

I use Dr. Bronner's. I find it to be very gentle. I know some people say it's not great for hair, but I never heard anyone say it's bad for your skin. Would love to see evidence of that if it's true!
