The musings on the bottle are made from someone who’s really out there. Perhaps mentally ill. It’s expensive, I think $15 for a 32oz bottle. Lasted two weeks.
Were you diluting it? How did you use over two ounces of concentrated liquid soap every day? You must have been really fresh and tingly.
This article kind of glosses over some of the tougher parts of their origin story. I saw a documentary about Dr. Bronner's on, I think, Netflix perhaps 7 years ago and it talked about how their dad, the company's founder, was essentially an absentee father because he was off preaching his self styled religion and making soap. Apparently he also spent some number of years in an insane asylum in IL before heading out t…
A friend of mine uses this stuff, the screed on the bottle reminds me of Time Cube.
Love the stuff. Buy one bottle and you can shower with it for months.
That's kind of my take on it. I started wondering why we need so many specialty soaps and decided you could use it for showering, shampoo, shaving. It probably would make a bad toothpaste though.
I can confirm, it is bad, I tried it camping once. But I mean you could uses it if you had no alternatives.
We take Dr. Bronner's when we go camping. Wash up in a nice mountain lake without worrying about hurting the environment.

The same great advice that applies to Dr. Bronner's Pure Castile Soap also applies to Pure Liquid LSD: DILUTE! DILUTE! DILUTE! ALL-ONE!
Dr Bronner’s Peppermint soap was in the shower. Not knowing any better, I did a good lather. When I started feeling a tingle in my critical region, I didn’t know what to do. Thankfully, rinsing off kept me from becoming uncomfortable.
This lead to some cautious conversations with the coworkers, and as we confirmed a similar experiences this contributed to a very different experience to bond over.
There is additional backstory, where the Peppermint was bought be accident to replace a previous blue bottle that had generously been left there. The purchaser of the replacement had been equally surprised by the effects.
Since then I’ve gotten to enjoy rotating to the peppermint or tea tree oil soap from time to time.
