I just got this soap as one of the second Huddler contest prizes, and I really like it.  I got the peppermint/spearmint scent, and it smells really nice.  It also works well, and I really like that it's got both organic and fair trade ingredients.  Very cool stuff!

We used the Spearmint Peppermint and it's some of the best hand soap I've ever used.  It smells great, does an incredible job of cleaning with no residue and doesn't dry out your hands.  The only issue is that it's quite expensive for a bottle of hand soap, but it might just be worth it, considering the ingredients and quality.

I received this product as one of the Huddler winners - thank you again!  I found this soap to feel nice and clean well.  It is a rich soap so it may need more rinsing... We rec'd the "Tea Tree" scent - which is OK... looking forward to sampling some of the others in the future.  Love that it is both fair trade and certified organic - huge plus.  I have a feeling that this soap will quietly replace our other hand soaps in the house :-)

Thank you Huddler for bringing a new love to my life...

I had previously filled our soap dispensers with the Dr. Bronners peppermint classic soap, and diluted it by half.  That combination lathered really well, even though it was quite watery.

Dr. B's intended hand soap feels luxuriously thick compared to my watered down home brew.  It smells like lemon bars, and feels quite pleasant to lather up- not sticky or slipper like some liquid soaps- this stuff glides on.  It even rinses off quickly and completely.  Fair trade and organic ingredients. 

What else could I ask for in a soap?  All I can think of is some kind of refill option- like the pouches favored by Method, or the gallon jugs you can by the classic soap in.

We just started using this hand soap at Huddler after a long time with Method products. We have the peppermint one and it smells so good and definitely leaves me feeling clean. I prefer hand soaps that wash off really quickly and leave that squeaky clean-ness (when you rub your wet hands together)...this one takes some work to feel like it's totally off, but that's no big deal.

I will admit, I miss the crazy packaging, but suppose this is a great step to Dr. B going more mainstream and I'm all for that.

$7.99 seems like a lot to pay for a 12 ounce bottle of hand soap. But let me tell you...this new one from Dr. Bronner's is a winner. First of all, it's organic AND fair trade certified, so major bonus points there. Beyond that...it's just a great soap. It leaves my hands feeling nice and clean and isn't drying at all. I've only tried the mint scent but it's incredibly refreshing and it's always a nice pick-me-up. It seems to take me a little bit longer to rinse the soap off of my hands than some of the conventional soaps I've used, but I actually like that (although I'm less thrilled about the extra water I use). I figure since you're supposed to rub your hands together for as long as it takes to say your ABCs, a little extra rinse time doesn't hurt in the cleaning factor. The only thing that takes getting a little used to....the soap is brown. So the first time I used it, I got a little freaked out because I thought my hands were just incredibly dirty! Turns out the soap keeps a bit of it's color...so as you're dripping over the sink (whilst you wash your hands), keep that in mind.

I got this product in a huddler prize pack.  It is a great product.  I had been diluting the original Dr Bronners and it was VERY watery but lathered well.  This has a nice thick feel and lathers very nicely.  I got the Lavender scent.  It does not smell even a little lavender like to me.  The smell is a pleasent herbal smell.  I think I would buy the product again but in a different scent.

I received this in my Huddler prize pack and have tried it a few times now.   I think it is a good soap but I really don't like the particular scent I got (Baby Unscented) although it says it is unscented it really has quite a strong odor to it.  I also felt like it left quite a bit of film behind on my hands.  I am impressed however with it overall and the ingredients and recycled packaging make up for a lot of ut's downfalls.  If I tried it again I would definitely get another scent though.

I also received this in my Huddler prize package, and tried it out for the first time today.  Other reviewers said they felt like it took a little more rinsing to get the soap off.  I didn't really find that to be the case, but we also have pretty hard water so that may make a difference, too.  The bottle I have says it is Lavender scent, but I don't get that at all.  I think it's a bit like the smell of fresh black walnuts off the tree, a really earthy, slightly sharp but pleasant smell.  One small complaint is that I do think it dries my skin a little, definitely more than the Method grapefruit soap I have been using.  Since I almost always apply lotion after handwashing it's not a big deal for me, a small price to pay for a product that is fair trade and organic vs Method's somewhat greenwashed product. 

I like the tea tree version of this soap. It is a nice, natural antibacterial soap without harsh chemicals that does not dry your hands out like hand sanitizer or antibacterial soaps. We picked it up at Whole Foods.
