Ah, yes. The Magic soap.
I was first introduced to Dr. Bronner’s Castile liquid soap through the wonderful community that is Pinterest. I was browsing Pinterest, and came across non-toxic multipurpose cleaning solutions. One of the ingredients was Dr. Bronner’s amazing soap. Castile soap to be exact, which just means soap made with olive oil. After seeing it on Pinterest, I saw it everywhere. In Korean tv shows, Youtube videos, blogs. It got me so interested to try the stuff, needless to say.
My first purchase was the Baby Mild, the one in the light blue bottle. I was pregnant at the time, and I was trying to buy a bunch of stuff in preparation for my little princess. When I received it, I didn’t open it till Rylee was born. I wanted to save it for her, so I resisted, yeah, I’m weird.
Well a couple months later, she was here! Her first bath wasn’t even with me! My mom had taken over and Rylee was pampered by Grandma. After that it was all us, me and the hubby. We had used the Baby Mild for weeks, and I noticed Rylee getting lil patches of dry spots. I thought to myself, there’s no way it’s the awesome soap that everyone raved about, maybe I just need to use more lotion. Of course, I was in denial! After using a good portion of the 36oz bottle, which took forever to use up, I decided to by a regular soap for babies at the store. I think it was an Aveeno one for eczema, sensitive skin. My, my did it make a difference! In my honest opinion, even the Baby Mild is too drying of a soap to use for babies, especially for newborns!
It took me months to use the soap up, I used it mainly to clean my hands. After months of trying to use it up, when it was gone, I missed it! Yes, despite how I felt about it for my kid, it did a great job of cleaning things. If I had too much product in my hair, it washed it all out, not a trace of hairspray, gel, or the dreaded wax, that takes 3 shampoo sessions to get off. I have the world’s greasiest hair, so as a clarifying shampoo I used this soap once a week. I’m willing to bet that it can even take soap scum off bath tubs and shower curtains! If you have a stubborn stain, or something you use on a regular basis that should be cleaned once in awhile, like a hairbrush, it’s great!
I’m sure there’s many many more uses for it, and I can’t wait to find them!
Hope this helped, let me know your experiences with the Magic Liquid soap.
