Dr. Bronner’s Magic Bar Soap (Pure-Castile Bar)
A versatile bar soap made with organic and fair-trade oils, designed for body, face, and hair. Free from synthetic foaming agents, detergents, or dyes. It produces a rich lather and supports a cleaner, simpler personal-care routine.
Ingredients (example – Citrus variant):
Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Palm Oil, Sodium Hydroxide (used in saponification), Water, Limonene, Organic Orange Oil, Organic Olive Oil, Organic Hemp Seed Oil, Organic Jojoba Wax, Organic Lemon Oil, Organic Lime Oil, Sea Salt, Citric Acid, Tocopherol, Citral, Linalool.
What I like:
Certified USDA Organic and Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC) oils.
Certified Fair for Life fair-trade certification for many ingredients.
EWG Verified for the bar soaping products (excluding some scented versions).
Vegan, cruelty-free (Leaping Bunny certified) and non-GMO.
Simple formula: plant-based oils and saponified fats instead of synthetic detergents, suitable for low-tox routines and multi-use (body, hair, face).
Things to keep in mind:
Contains essential oils (e.g., orange, lemon, lime, and peppermint in some scents) that may be sensitising for very fragrance-sensitive individuals.
Even though the product is very clean, “natural” and “organic” still mean there is potential for individual skin reaction—patch testing is wise.
