Dr. Natural Castile Liquid Soap - Multi-Use Body Wash, Shampoo and Face Wash - Hydrating Body Soap for Skin, Hair, Pets and Home - Lavender - 946 ml

It’s a great product but I ordered to UAE and by time it arrived the bottle had leaked - it wasn’t packaged other than flimsy paper envelope

I never dreamed I'd be writing a review of a castile soap brand but this product is special and deserves a shout-out. First, the lavender scent is gorgeous; vibrant but natural and not over the top. A very little bit of soap lathers beautifully and goes a long way. I used to use Dr. Bronner's but it was kind of harsh on my skin and it's overpriced. Dr. Natural's is thoroughly cleaning and I think better than the average; various body odors are wiped out and don't return for a while. It is also is quite gentle. I have combination skin and it is a delightful, effective face wash, getting rid of and preventing break-outs and leaving my skin dewy and not dried out. Ditto for its use as a hand wash. And the cost doesn't break the bank. I also admire that, according to the company website, 70 percent of their workforce consists of special needs people. Such a worthy cause plus the quality and reasonable price has made this brand my new go-to.

I bought Dr. Natural as a cheaper alternative to Dr. Bronner and I'm giving it four stars because it gets me clean, I especially like the pump, and it sits perfectly in the corner of my tub. Dr. Bronner has a stronger smelling sent than Dr. Natural. It's also less sudsy so I'm using about six pumps per shower, maybe more. That doesn't mean you're using more than Dr. Bronner, perhaps the pump amount is smaller than what squirts out of Dr. Bronner's container. It's a great face wash. I wanted a soap of better value and I got it but if you want the suds and the smell experience of a rich lavendar Castile soap stick with Dr. Bronner. If you want a Castile soap that gets the job done for less money go with Dr. Natural. As someone who's cost cutting due to a rent increase I'm happy with the purchase. I noticed that another review cited that the company works with special needs employees so I did a little digging and here are the facts: 'Dr. Natural partners with the Center for Vocational Rehabilitation (CVR) in Eatontown, New Jersey. According to Dr. Natural, the partnership is specifically used to produce its product packaging, and the company says the workforce involved is 75% people with special needs. Buying Dr. Natural is supporting a company that currently contracts work to a vocational program employing people with disabilities. So, for a bottle of Dr. Natural Castile Soap, it is reasonable to say that workers with disabilities may be involved in things such as labeling the bottle, packaging/repackaging it, preparing multipacks or displays, inspecting the finished packaging, and fulfillment/shipping preparation.' Because of this fact I'm sticking with Dr. Natural from here on out. As someone with a special needs friend I'm thrilled with the partnership.

We use this stuff to make our own hand soap and baby soap and it’s a great price and a really good size bottle and it’s natural without added fragrance.

The pros- the smell of this soap is amazing, it is natural, it is relatively affordable, and it gets the job done! The cons- it really does not lather well, so you will need to use a good bit if it to feel like you’re clean. It also feels like it leaves my skin a little dry. I would still recommend it, but you just need to be prepared for not the best lather or smooth skin feeling afterwards. I have switched to using Attitude soap (which is another natural option but lathers better and does not leave a dry feeling).
