I have been very pleased with this one, Dr. Bronners, though a great soap, was too drying for my hair but the sandalwood in this brand has been perfect. I am eventually going to make an herbal tea to mix with it like I do with the shampoo I make from my own soap to add even more benefits.
That is odd. I had made a comment that I pinned to the top about why some people have issue with Dr. Bronner's and it has mysteriously disappeared....hmmmm. SO, let me explain again and hopefully this one will stay: (EDIT: I took out the word "pagan" because that was a misnomer) Some people take issue with Dr. Bronner because of some odd phrases that though I am unclear on their religious standing, it is still Baal worship by Biblical standards. Now, I understand some Christians choosing to avoid them as a result, however, EVERY company or person we do business with has some kind of religious belief and most will differ from our own. I have a number of followers who choose to support us in different ways including purchasing our hand made products even though they have a very different belief system. I very much appreciate this. I do not recall in the Bible where we are commanded to only purchase products from fellow Christians. On the other hand, as Christians we also know we need to be careful about bringing certain items into our home.
I agree. In fact. I have a bad feeling about many who claim to be Christians. Lol. Let the Lord lead us. With that said. I do like what I have used of Dr Bronners as far as the product itself. It just isn’t good for me. But I can say the same about a lot of things. Just because I like something, does not mean I just have it or use it. Love your stuff Heidi. Lol. See what kind of a muscle and joint ointment/rub you can come up with. Specifically containing arnica. When I finally get to retire, I am going to go back to making my own herbal and essential oil things. I did make my own soap years ago. Had to figure it out without internet. It was fun to make and fun to use and fun to give as gifts. I learned to have a lot of respect for lye in the process. Took the enamel paint off of my stove. And broke a jar that Inwas using to make the lye water in. It gets very very hot. Lol
@@BelindaTN If you are asking me to create a muscle and joint rub recipe that includes arnica, I already have: czcams.com/video/JksJA5XGZ0I/video.html However, I have also found adding peppermint (herb, not oil) to the oil infusion is a great option and that it works quite well without needing to add the essential oils I had used in that recipe but one could still add any of the other essential oils they feel will be best for them
They are openly pagan? The bottles of Dr. Bronner's I got had bible verses on them? Not that I care as I am eclectic pagan anyway, but just surprised. What kind of differences would there be between brands other than scents with these soaps? I bought some random brands during the shortages last year and just thought any of the Castile soap would be similar.
I had a friend that told me about Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap about 20 years ago. Great stuff! He used it for his dogs. He had one that had some creeping crud on its feet. He would put some on the dogs feet. Very medicinal and it washes clean. So he often used it for their skin problems...even mange type problems. I ended up using it to get tack (bituminous asphalt) off my skin and out of my clothes where tack got on them. I am an inspector in road construction. Tack gets everywhere. I even used it to spot clean my work truck, inside and out, wherever needed. I bet it would work as well if someone needed to spot clean roofing tar too, and other things! It is a wonderful product. I believe I will also check out the other brand you are talking about! Thank You for making and sharing this video! 😊 ~Sharon
Sandalwood! I bought the combs that you mentioned and couldn’t believe how wonderful the smell is! I’ve always loved earthy scents so I can’t wait to use this sandalwood scented soap! I sure have learned a lot from you since I discovered your channel about a month ago. Thanks for all your great content! 💞
Thank you! Used your link and discount to order a few bottles. Love multipurpose soaps! Fan of Dr. Bronner’s castile soap for years but think I will enjoy these scents more. Your hair looked nice by the way!
Great video. I’ve used Dr. Jacobs it’s a high quality product. I purchased the coconut scented and even though it was lightly scented, unfortunately I returned because certain scents affect my breathing. I wanted something other than fragrance free. I should’ve purchased their unscented instead. It’s very thick too which is nice. I too recommend it.
Nice! When I get done having fun making my own soap I’ll want to try that Dr. Jacobs soap out. I love being able to make my own things, but it’s always nice to have a good ready made option, too. Thanks Heidi.
While I have a good supply of homemade soaps for us, one thing I found when making them for our store is next thing you know, you are almost out and need to get more made and then there is the wait time. With as busy as things are here, I can see that easily happening if one is not paying attention to their supply so having a back up emergency stash is nice too but I have to say, I am really liking that shea butter for my face and the sandalwood for my hair. If nothing else, having a safe spray cleaner for uses where the vinegar does not apply has also been really nice.
@@RainCountryHomestead I pray one day you could make a recipe book for all these wonderful concoctions. I love watching the videos as I am a visual learner but I also like reading the recipes as well and having them in all one place. You and Mary’s Nest are the best ones out there for making from scratch stuff. Thank you.
@@christinenatvig9094 I just do not have the time for that and have no idea when I will but if I were to do that, i would certainly have to give up youtube in order to get it done. CZcams on its own is a full time job, then babysitting my grandson three full days a week and keeping up on my garden as best I can is another full time job, then there is keeping up on our store, pretty much another full time job and this does not count all my regular chores.
@@christinenatvig9094 You can write down a lot of recipes on CZcams as people are saying them. Keep a notebook of them and refer back. You can also type them up on your computer/tablet/phone and save them. I like having both in case the internet goes out.
Yes!! I've been finding these at my local outlet stores for really good prices, had never heard of this brand but started picking some up for just in case.
Awesome info Heidi! Just chuckling to myself when I realize I see you more now than when I lived there lol. We were busy ppl. Love your CZcams’s - Kathy
Heidi, I am using the charcoal from Dr. Jocobs right now Heidi and I am liking it. I ordered it when you first said something about it. I order 2 others and I will be waiting to try them. I got peppermint and I think Rose. Oh Heidi, thank you adding Cody in, he is a good Rodent dog just love how they dig to get them. I think I will order the citrus Heidi. Thank you for giving your opinion on Dr. Jacobs.
I'm in love! I just washed my hair with the rose! Oh I'm so happy! Oh it feels good! My hair so dry and damaged. It feels smooth and I have shine in it right now! The rose seems to be different. Maybe its the old formula. It doesn't say 2x the viscosity on the bottle. I didn't dilute it for my hair. I have long out of control hair. I didn't dilute it. It didn't lather so much but I was able to work it in. I definitely needed these oils but its not greasy oil. I can't even believe it. I wasn't able to use dr bronners on my hair. It was way to tough to detangle. Absolute thumbs up!!!!!!!!
Something I read (or watched?) recently was trying to convince people that hair should not be shiny. It was a "no-poo" thing, insisting modern hair care marketing has tricked people into thinking hair should be smooth and shiny. 🙄🙄🙄
The more I use it the more I love it. In fact, in the past 6 weeks or so, it is the only thing I have been using to wash my hair (plus still doing the homemade vinegar rinse). I am not sure if I will go back to making the shampoo from my own soap as I have been so pleased with how well this does on my hair and of course, the ease of use. I will be trying it in an herbal "tea" blend though for a shampoo same way I do when I use my own bar soap but will only need to mix it in instead of cooking the soap until it is melted and mixed in
Perhaps one day you could recommend the best spray bottle as I have bought from retail stores and online and they all stop working properly or not at all in a month or two. Some even leak. So disappointed on all of them. I never put anything in them that was too thick or anything that would clog them up. They would fail even with just plain water. Grrrr!
I have mentioned in past videos some that I have found to be good, these are larger sized ones but what I use for many sprays including homemade vinegar: amzn.to/3xzNBa2
Oh I hear you, loud and clear, pure frustration! I have one from Branch Basics - tried their natural soap stuff once, it's ok, just a bit expensive- but their spray bottle still works. I need to look if I can just order some bottles there. Yes, the spray top looks to be the same for the $ 4 plastic bottle or the $15 glass bottle.
KneadyHomesteader recommended one not too long ago. It's on her Community tab. It's glass, which is better than plastic imo. Btw, "Biodegradable" plastic isn't as good for the planet as They'd like you to believe. Plastic is a necessary evil (such as for the mechanism that makes a spray bottle spray) but I try to avoid it when possible.
i have just started using Castile soap, and was interested in trying it on dishes. I will have to look in our Costco here in Canada and see if they carry it. Right now i am buying it from Nezza here in BC. Thanks, great video
I found Castile soap at Costco last year when this crazy stuff first started. The brand was Green Earth and I don’t remember it being as expensive as Br. Bronner’s.
What is wrong with Dr Bronners soap? I have heard her hint that there is something wrong with it in past videos but she doesn’t say what. Do they have a bad philosophy? Bad ingredient?
There is nothing wrong with their product, it is the fact that they are openly pagan that some people have issues with them. Though I am certain most other companies are not Christian but are agnostics, atheists, pagans, and more. I personally think it is a bit silly to boycott companies over their religious beliefs. It is not like they are trying to force them on us. I am grateful that I have many followers that do not have the same religious beliefs as me but still choose to support my channel and purchase products from our store.
working on a vitacost order and was trying to remember what that other Dr soap was.... turns out they do not carry Jacobs. Must check next time I am at Costco, better write it down! Watching it again it sounds like a good one to try for the hubby!
Costco has the best price but does not carry all the scents. I do have the affiliate link where you can save 10% and get free shipping: drjacobsnaturals.com/?ref=raincountryhomestead (Coupon Code for 10% off: RAINCOUNTRY)
I had done research on Dr Bronner when you talk about it in a previous video and read that he was Jewish and thought maybe some didn’t want to buy his product due to his religious beliefs. I just went and read one of the bottles of Dr Bronners that I have in my cupboard. I think the grandsons changed some of the philosophies of the company. I will longer be buying their products and will Dr Jacob’s products a try. Thanks for the info about this alternative to what I have been using. God bless.
Hello, so I have watched and saved as many of your videos as I can. I am learning about herbal medicine through you and another site. Along with some books. I am a nurse and medicine does not work. I am looking for the root cause and how to help my body and my family’s to heal. What books 📚 do you use to help determine which herbs to put in your recipes? Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with us.
My husband prefers a 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner. Would you please help with that formulation so I can get him off of the harmful 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner? TIA 😘
Do you have something you use as a vegetable wash, in cases where you need to buy produce at the store? I have used a packaged wash but would rather make my own. Thanks so much for all your wisdom!
I just use my homemade vinegar for that. Sometimes added to a sink full of water for a soak or I simply spray on full strength, allow to sit for a few minutes, then rinse
I have tried and tried to use this soap to make body wash and shampoo. I don't know if my ratios are off....but I can't get a lather. Our water is a little hard, that may be the problem. So, I used it straight. The bottle says " Body Wash. Tried washing my hair and not much lather either. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Like I said could be our water. Love your videos, I've learned so much. Thanks for all your hard work.
They are pagan. Some people take issue with that but if we are to limit ourselves to only purchasing products to those who think and believe exactly like us, we will really be limiting ourselves. No where in the Bible are we instructed to only purchase goods from those who are Christians
@@catt8247 I was not aware either. I do not have time to check everything in depth😁 I have no idea how Heidi does it all!!!! But I have been happy with the Bonner soap. If I run into the Jacobs I might give it a try as well, but I really don't need more soap at this point, besides I still need to make some of my own😁
Main stream companies sometimes use countries that use child labor & commit crimes against humanity. Which is worse Dr. Bonner's pagan beliefs or child labor? God bless.
Hello Heidi… you said that you put a check mark for us to recognize that it’s you.. but where should we watch where your check mark? I haven’t seen any check mark yet .. thks!! People just don’t know what to do of themselves they’re bored!!! 🤯🤯
Heidi hi ! Love using your Container for break bleeding jars for dry food storage! I have a question about Castile 🧼 soap….., Is Castile soap safe for Septic tanks and too load non HE washing machines? Thank you and God Bless you and Patrick
Thanks for sharing the soaps, I chose not to use Dr Bronner’s, but will check into this one, still working thru my homemade shampoo from your video, my husband won’t try it either 🤷♀️lol, blessings
When I checked out the Jacob's website, it looked as though I had to pay with PayPal or Amazon Pay. I've never used either one of these. Can you guide me on how I can use my debit or charge card?
@@RainCountryHomestead Thank you! I'm not in a hurry, and while I want to support you, I sure don't want to support Amazon! Will place my order this week. :)
I bought the rose and Citrus & ginger from a UK based company. I wasnt impressed with the smell of the citrus as it has no smell at all and it doesn't lather like a high concentrated soap should. The rose smells way better, however again I have an issue with the concentration of lack off with these two. Maybe I got a bad batch? Thanks for sharing Heidi x
Interesting because I find it lathers much better than Dr. Bronners, however, you also have to understand that natural soaps do not have added unhealthy phosphates that give them all those suds you get in other types of soaps. This is why having a foaming dispenser is very helpful when using as a hand soap. But even using as a well diluted shampoo without a foaming dispenser, it has been lathering up just fine for me but then again, I am used to using homemade shampoo from my own bar soap that does not lather up near as well as the Dr. Jacobs
Does the citrus/ginger smell strong as this one has little or no smell? Maybe my expectations were too much, I dont know just thought it lather better. Thanks Heidi.
Hello👋 from the state of Wisconsin🙂I just found ur chanel because I was looking for a recipe to make homemade shampoo with dr. bronner Castille soap, I read what u say in one of ur comments I'am Christian and please can u explain to me what is it with this Castille soap..
It is not the Dr. Bronner's product itself but their religion and values they stand for. I suggest you look into yourself if you want to know. Start by reading all of the label if you have a bottle already and you can learn more here: www.drbronner.com/about/
When I make my own herbal shampoo, which I DO have videos on, I add herbs that help with hair growth and I also have a video on my own recipe for hair growth oil so not sure what else I can talk about as far as that goes
Hi Heidi, When you say 1 part soap, does this mean like 1 tsp? I'm just trying to understand this better. Do you use distilled water when making your dish soap? Thank you.
Here is a video I did on explanation of parts so you can understand exactly what that means as I explain recipes this way in many videos: czcams.com/video/l864ack7VeA/video.html No, I just use tap water for the soap
Dr. Bronners had the strangest small wording on their label. Never gave it thought until someone told me to read it. Very concerning. For that reason I do not buy it.
I never saw Dr. Bronner as Pagan at all. The whole label is weird self interpreted xtian stuff. Always have been. I have more issues with their ongoing beliefs n some odd overly conservatives stuff but I can ignore xtian stuff as I am not. Not sure why people thing it is Pagan. Hm. However, for cleaning I like Bronner's stuff-especially the Lavendar n Citrus! I'm about to have dreadlocs done in a few weeks and I'll be using a mix of Bronners, ACV and Black African soap. Probably go back to bronners to have a clean all.
As I have said I have not read the label in a long time but remember there was weird stuff on there so I could be wrong. Some others said the same thing about not seeing evidence of paganism but the point was that it was some odd wording that makes most Christians uncomfortable.
It is not green, it is either black, grey, or white inside a circle to the right of my name. You should be able to see it next to my name on this comment. However, I have learned that not all devices show the check mark
The reason I don't want to use d r b0nneR$ is because they donate 10% of the money to charity. Sounds good right? But there are 3 choices for the charity you want the money to go. Every choice is to a Left Political organization. I would love to help a REAL Charity that helps someone in need. I don't consider pushing a political agenda as charity. Thank you for an alternative idea. I'm going to research Dr Jacob's and most likely try it. I also plan on trying to make your homemade soaps. Thank you!😊
I’m in the process of trying doctor bronners lavender bar soap 🧼 as shampoo I’m not sure yet how it will work I melted one fourth of the bar into one gallon of hot water now I’ve got it in the refrigerator I’m hoping I can use it as shampoo to stretch my dollar value ❤
I’m an African American woman, with locks, and Castile soap is all I use on my hair. Love it!!
I have been very pleased with this one, Dr. Bronners, though a great soap, was too drying for my hair but the sandalwood in this brand has been perfect. I am eventually going to make an herbal tea to mix with it like I do with the shampoo I make from my own soap to add even more benefits.

I had done research on Dr Bronner when you talk about it in a previous video and read that he was Jewish and thought maybe some didn’t want to buy his product due to his religious beliefs. I just went and read one of the bottles of Dr Bronners that I have in my cupboard. I think the grandsons changed some of the philosophies of the company. I will longer be buying their products and will Dr Jacob’s products a try. Thanks for the info about this alternative to what I have been using. God bless.
It bothers you that they are Jewish?
@@emmaemma9505 no. It bothers me about some of the other things that they have placed on the bottle.
Hello, so I have watched and saved as many of your videos as I can. I am learning about herbal medicine through you and another site. Along with some books. I am a nurse and medicine does not work. I am looking for the root cause and how to help my body and my family’s to heal. What books 📚 do you use to help determine which herbs to put in your recipes? Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with us.
I should do a new video on books as a refresher but I do cover them in the first part of this video: czcams.com/video/kNA5srbQAuQ/video.html
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you 😊 I will watch and see which ones will work. I appreciate you. Thank you.
My husband prefers a 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner. Would you please help with that formulation so I can get him off of the harmful 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner? TIA 😘
Can I wash my face with??
Do you have a recipe for your shampoo with the bar soap you make
Yes, the video is linked in the description box
Do you have something you use as a vegetable wash, in cases where you need to buy produce at the store? I have used a packaged wash but would rather make my own. Thanks so much for all your wisdom!
I just use my homemade vinegar for that. Sometimes added to a sink full of water for a soak or I simply spray on full strength, allow to sit for a few minutes, then rinse
I have tried and tried to use this soap to make body wash and shampoo. I don't know if my ratios are off....but I can't get a lather. Our water is a little hard, that may be the problem. So, I used it straight. The bottle says " Body Wash. Tried washing my hair and not much lather either. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Like I said could be our water. Love your videos, I've learned so much. Thanks for all your hard work.
You are probably correct about yoru water as I never have issues with it sudsing up when I use it
I've heard hard water reacts with castille, so that might be it??
Good advice, but FYI sandalwood is a vulnerable if not endangered plant and there is a lot of really bad abuse involved in that industry.
I did not know that about Bronner what was their belief ?
They are pagan. Some people take issue with that but if we are to limit ourselves to only purchasing products to those who think and believe exactly like us, we will really be limiting ourselves. No where in the Bible are we instructed to only purchase goods from those who are Christians
@@RainCountryHomestead yes true I just wasn't aware. Thanks for the video I always enjoy you guy's.
@@catt8247 I was not aware either. I do not have time to check everything in depth😁 I have no idea how Heidi does it all!!!! But I have been happy with the Bonner soap. If I run into the Jacobs I might give it a try as well, but I really don't need more soap at this point, besides I still need to make some of my own😁
Main stream companies sometimes use countries that use child labor & commit crimes against humanity. Which is worse Dr. Bonner's pagan beliefs or child labor? God bless.
❤❤👍👍👍
Hello Heidi… you said that you put a check mark for us to recognize that it’s you.. but where should we watch where your check mark? I haven’t seen any check mark yet .. thks!! People just don’t know what to do of themselves they’re bored!!! 🤯🤯
To the right of my name as you should see in this comment
Do u have a video on how to make conditioner
Just homemade vinegar rinse and sometimes I add some kind of healthy oil to my hair if it needs it after washing.
Heidi hi ! Love using your Container for break bleeding jars for dry food storage! I have a question about Castile 🧼 soap….., Is Castile soap safe for Septic tanks and too load non HE washing machines? Thank you and God Bless you and Patrick
Yes, it is as safe as any soap, likely safter as this soap is more natural.
Thank you :))
Thanks for sharing the soaps, I chose not to use Dr Bronner’s, but will check into this one, still working thru my homemade shampoo from your video, my husband won’t try it either 🤷♀️lol, blessings
It is like they are afraid it may just be too fru fru or something, haha
@@RainCountryHomestead haha my thoughts exactly 😂
When I checked out the Jacob's website, it looked as though I had to pay with PayPal or Amazon Pay. I've never used either one of these. Can you guide me on how I can use my debit or charge card?
You should be able to use your credit card but Amazon Pay is the quickest if you already have an amazon account.
@@RainCountryHomestead Thank you! I'm not in a hurry, and while I want to support you, I sure don't want to support Amazon! Will place my order this week. :)
PayPal should have an area where you can pay with a credit or debit card also.
@@thistlemoon1 Thank you.
Do you only use your soap bar for shampoo, dr jacobs only or do you switch it up between the two?
I alternate but some days I only wash with homemade vinegar
I bought the rose and Citrus & ginger from a UK based company. I wasnt impressed with the smell of the citrus as it has no smell at all and it doesn't lather like a high concentrated soap should. The rose smells way better, however again I have an issue with the concentration of lack off with these two. Maybe I got a bad batch? Thanks for sharing Heidi x
Interesting because I find it lathers much better than Dr. Bronners, however, you also have to understand that natural soaps do not have added unhealthy phosphates that give them all those suds you get in other types of soaps. This is why having a foaming dispenser is very helpful when using as a hand soap. But even using as a well diluted shampoo without a foaming dispenser, it has been lathering up just fine for me but then again, I am used to using homemade shampoo from my own bar soap that does not lather up near as well as the Dr. Jacobs
Does the citrus/ginger smell strong as this one has little or no smell? Maybe my expectations were too much, I dont know just thought it lather better. Thanks Heidi.
@@maryward633 The citrus ginger is a more light scent than the almond honey, the shea butter, and the sandalwood.
Can you use this in high efficiency washing machines?
While you can, I am not sure of its effects on the long run. What I actually use for laundry is this recipe: czcams.com/video/FB4LDBZLoIU/video.html
Hello👋 from the state of Wisconsin🙂I just found ur chanel because I was looking for a recipe to make homemade shampoo with dr. bronner Castille soap, I read what u say in one of ur comments
I'am Christian and please can u explain to me what is it with this Castille soap..
It is not the Dr. Bronner's product itself but their religion and values they stand for. I suggest you look into yourself if you want to know.
Start by reading all of the label if you have a bottle already and you can learn more here: www.drbronner.com/about/
You should talk about fast hair growth fortified shampoo to double hair growth.
When I make my own herbal shampoo, which I DO have videos on, I add herbs that help with hair growth and I also have a video on my own recipe for hair growth oil so not sure what else I can talk about as far as that goes
Hi Heidi,
When you say 1 part soap, does this mean like 1 tsp?
I'm just trying to understand this better.
Do you use distilled water when making your dish soap?
Thank you.
Here is a video I did on explanation of parts so you can understand exactly what that means as I explain recipes this way in many videos:
czcams.com/video/l864ack7VeA/video.html
No, I just use tap water for the soap
Dr. Bronners had the strangest small wording on their label. Never gave it thought until someone told me to read it. Very concerning. For that reason I do not buy it.
Yes, and I have since learned more about them and their open support for abortion so I will not go back to that product
I never saw Dr. Bronner as Pagan at all. The whole label is weird self interpreted xtian stuff. Always have been. I have more issues with their ongoing beliefs n some odd overly conservatives stuff but I can ignore xtian stuff as I am not. Not sure why people thing it is Pagan. Hm.
However, for cleaning I like Bronner's stuff-especially the Lavendar n Citrus! I'm about to have dreadlocs done in a few weeks and I'll be using a mix of Bronners, ACV and Black African soap. Probably go back to bronners to have a clean all.
As I have said I have not read the label in a long time but remember there was weird stuff on there so I could be wrong. Some others said the same thing about not seeing evidence of paganism but the point was that it was some odd wording that makes most Christians uncomfortable.
Does it come in Gallons size
No that I have seen
Where is the green ✔ mark
It is not green, it is either black, grey, or white inside a circle to the right of my name. You should be able to see it next to my name on this comment. However, I have learned that not all devices show the check mark
@@RainCountryHomestead my mistake on the color, thanks for the reply. My device apparently doesn't show it.
Hand soap do u know the ratios
I did say in the video, you must have missed it
@@RainCountryHomestead yes i relistened thank you for all you do
The reason I don't want to use d r b0nneR$ is because they donate 10% of the money to charity. Sounds good right? But there are 3 choices for the charity you want the money to go. Every choice is to a Left Political organization. I would love to help a REAL Charity that helps someone in need. I don't consider pushing a political agenda as charity. Thank you for an alternative idea. I'm going to research Dr Jacob's and most likely try it. I also plan on trying to make your homemade soaps. Thank you!😊
This is the same reason why I do not purchase from Mountain Rose Herbs anymore.

I’m in the process of trying doctor bronners lavender bar soap 🧼 as shampoo I’m not sure yet how it will work I melted one fourth of the bar into one gallon of hot water now I’ve got it in the refrigerator I’m hoping I can use it as shampoo to stretch my dollar value ❤
