Review: Dr. Bronner's All-One Hemp Lavender Pure Castille Soap


In the interest of saving space, you may opt for an all-in-one type of soap that can simultaneously wash your face, your hair, your body, and your clothes. A miracle, right?




I knew I was taking a chance on it since I didn't want to try it out first before my trip (who knew how long those bars would last, after all)! Let's examine the results:

Face: It was good enough to wash off "traveler's face," but as my skin can be quite sensitive, I didn't feel like it really got it as clean as specialized facial cleansers.

Hair: It lathered up really nicely and seemed to do the job, but once all of the soap was washed out, my hair (even in the shower) was incredibly dry, and I couldn't run my fingers through it without getting them tangled. Some residue remained as well, and didn't get my hair quite as clean as I was used to.

Body: Worked great as a body wash, which I'm sure was its original intention.

Clothes: Got them smelling really nice, but if it wasn't properly dissolved into the water (which could take some time), little bits would remain. And it didn't completely, 100% get rid of all of the various smells my clothes picked up from me and the environment. It was more like a nice perfume with an 85%-odor removal rate.

I would still use it as a body wash, but if I were to do my trip over again, with all of the WWOOFing and walking and all of that, I would just pick up my normal shampoo in travel size, have a separate facial cleanser, and some laundry detergent packets (probably would keep the inside of my bag fresh as well)!

Overall: 3/5
