Desert Essence Castile Liquid Soap with Organic Tea Tree Oil -- 32 fl oz

Desert Essence Castile Liquid Soap with Organic Tea Tree Oil -- 32 fl oz

100% Vegan. Clear skin, clear conscience. ECONOMY REFILL SIZE. DESERT ESSENCE Castile Liquid Soap with Organic Tea Tree Oil is skin and environmentally friendly. The formula is made with pH balanced blend of mild ingredients that includes natural oils. The formula is environmentally friendly in that it contains no animal ingredients, is biodegradable, and neither the ingredients nor the product itself were tested on animals. Clear skin, clear conscience. The Organic Tea Tree icon is a Desert Essence interpretation of a Navajo healing sand painting. The branches reflect the Tea Tree. The central grouping of the branches symbolize the ecological renewal of the Tea Tree. As gentle as it is effective, Desert Essence Castile Liquid Soap for hands, face, and body soothes and smoothes your skin as it cleans. Desert Essence Castile Liquid Soap with Organic Tea Tree Oil is pH balanced skin friendly and contains essential oils, pure plant and botanical extracts with natural fragrances to provide you with consistent performance you depend upon. Their Castile Soap, which is made from Olive and other vegetables oils, gently washes away dirt and impurities. Olive Oil moisturizes the skin and Tea Tree Oil diminishes imperfections. The result is skin that looks and feels smooth and silky.

Keep nail fungus at bay, July 5, 2009

"For 15 years I've struggled with toenail fungus. I've tried everything on the market I think including oral medications (which I'm allergic to). I have found that bathing in Desert Essence Tea Tree/Castile soap that the fungus has reduced some and not gotten any worse. My podiatrist says it doesn't even look like I have nail fungus, but I know it's still there by the thickness of my nails. However, it has improved. I replace the cap on the bottle with a "pour cap" and use a nylon netted bath scrubby to apply it to my entire body in the shower. It has a slight oily base, so my skin never gets very dry either. I would highly recommend giving this product a try if you suffer from nail fungus. Don't expect immediate results though, it takes time."

"This liquid soap is a bit thinner than others, but it's very effective! It laters well, feels so good against the skin and rinses off with no residue. The scent of tea tree oil is subtle, but it may take a while for some to get used to it. The only thing I dislike about it is the packaging; they should use a a flip-top because it's annoying to screw/unscrew the top each time you need soap!"

"don't know how this would do on acne, but i have very sensitive skin on my face (can't even use a straight razor without getting burned up). i tend to get breakouts and i work outside and get dirty. this soap is ultra gentle. we use it for our whole bodies, and on our children. it smells earthy and more complex than your average soap that only uses one essential oil as a scent. doesn't dry you out and cleans you up well. a little goes a long way. it lasts my wife and i and our three small children about a month. we've ordered it many times, love it!"

"I bought this item hoping to refill my hand pump dispensers with it. But the soap is of such a thin consistency that every time it pumps it gets soap all over the counter. If you just need a liquid soap to use for various things, then buy this. I'll probably use this for my hand washables. Just wish it worked for hand soap."

"I use Dr. Bonner's Castile soap so when I saw this for a couple dollars cheaper I tried it out. I am not happy with it at all. It is really thin. The smell is bad. I will spend the extra money for Dr. Bonner's Organic Castile Soap. I might need to mix this with something to finish it. I don't want to waste it."

"I have been very pleased this liquid soap as far as effectiveness, gentleness,and being non-toxic. So far I have only used it for washing hands. It doesn't dry out my hands the way others have. The only thing that takes getting used to is the slight smell. I guess that's the castille soap. But I am more than willing to put up with that in exchange for a product that is safe to use. All in all I am very pleased with the purchase. And this was the best price I have seen it for anywhere."

Desert Essence Castile Liquid Soap, August 10, 2008
By 1Jan from Hawaii

"I thought I'd try this since it's similar to Dr Bronner's but cheaper. I think I'll stick w/ Dr Bronners. Dr Bronners smells nicer and I think it it more concentrated than the Desert Essence . . . thus making it last longer."

"This was my 1st time to try this soap, and I am very pleased. I usually use Dr. B's peppermint soap but last time I tried to order it they were out of stock. I am actually glad because I found this soap and I enjoy it more when I shower than Dr. B's. It doesn't dry my skin out at all it and smells great. Will definitely buy this for bathing from now on. Still love Dr. B's for everything else though."
