Reviewer Info:

What does “Castile” mean? Is the bar soap also a castile soap like the liquid? What is the difference between the bar and liquid soaps? 
 
In earlier centuries, an all-vegetable based soap was made in the Castile region of Spain from local olive oil. By the turn of this century, “Castile” had come to mean any vegetable oil-based soap, versus animal (tallow) fat-based soap. “Pure-Castile” is now also your guarantee that what you are using is a real ecological and simple soap, not a complex blend of detergents with a higher ecological impact due to the waste stream during manufacture and slower biodegradability. Unfortunately, many synthetic detergent blends are deceptively labeled as “Liquid Soap” even when they contain absolutely no soap whatsoever.

At first glance:

Dr. Bronner’s Soap, our favorite all-in-one organic travel soap, now comes in a 8 fl oz. size in wonderful selections (we like the lavender) as well as
Almond
Peppermint
Eucalyptus
Baby-Mild
Tea Tree

Details:

Ingredients of Lavendar Liquid Soap: Water, Saponified Organic Coconut & Olive oils (w/ retained Glycerin), Organic Hemp Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Lavandin & Lavender Oils, Citric Acid, Vitamin E

Through the Ringer:

On my recent 5 week active travel stint in Italy, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Russia I tried to use the soap sparingly.  Two bottles lasted me the 5 weeks. Best part was my clothes smelled GREAT…and when you are wearing the same items repeatedly that counts for a lot!

What I Liked:

The 8 oz size is PERFECT for traveling…larger sizes for home use or refill. No need to feel guilty disposing of the bottles as they are made of 100% post consumer recycled plastic. 

Ideal for:

Travel laundry and body washing
