Dr. Bronner's Pure-Castile Liquid Soap — Citrus 1 Gallon, Concentrated Multi‑Use Cleanser

Dr. Bronner's Pure-Castile Magic Liquid Soap (Citrus, 1 Gallon) is a highly concentrated, plant-based multiuse soap suitable for face, body, hair, dishes, laundry, and pets.

This gallon of citrus-scented Castile soap blends certified organic and fair-trade oils into a biodegradable, vegan formula that produces rich lather without synthetic detergents. Because it’s three times more concentrated than many conventional liquid soaps, a small amount dilutes into many household and personal care tasks—making it both economical and versatile. The bottle is made from post-consumer recycled plastic, reflecting the brand’s sustainability focus.

How do I use this soap around the house?

Use the soap diluted for most cleaning jobs to stretch the gallon into many uses. It cleans dishes, spot-treats laundry, and works as an all-purpose surface cleaner when mixed with water and white vinegar or baking soda, depending on the task.

• Dishwashing: add a few drops to a sink of water or dilute in a spray bottle for greasy spots
• Laundry: pre-mix 1–2 tablespoons per load for lightly soiled clothes; adjust for fabric type
• All-purpose cleaner: mix 1–2 teaspoons with water in a spray bottle for counters and surfaces
• Floor/mop cleaner: dilute a capful in a bucket of warm water for sealed floors

Is it safe and gentle enough for skin and hair?

The formulation relies on plant-derived oils and avoids synthetic foaming agents and detergents, giving a clean rinse and a natural-feeling finish. People with normal to oily skin and those seeking an ingredient-transparent option tend to respond well, though those with very dry or eczema-prone skin should patch-test or follow with moisturizer.

• Face and body: use a small, diluted amount to avoid over-stripping natural oils
• Hair: dilute for a gentle shampoo; follow with conditioner as needed
• Pets: dilute appropriately and avoid eyes; rinse thoroughly
• Scent: light citrus aroma from natural oils, not synthetic fragrances

How concentrated is the gallon and how should I dilute it?

This liquid soap is roughly three times more concentrated than many store-brand liquids, so you’ll use much less per task. Dilution ratios vary by use: cleaning and personal care require different strengths, so keep smaller bottles on hand to mix precise amounts.

• General hand wash: 1 part soap to 10–20 parts water
• Shampoo: 1 part soap to 8–12 parts water
• All-purpose cleaner: 1 teaspoon in 16 ounces of water
• Heavy-duty cleaning: increase concentration gradually for grease or stains

This product is free from synthetic detergents and made with over 70% certified organic and fair-trade ingredients, packaged in post-consumer recycled plastic to reduce waste.

Who is this for? If you want a single, plant-based cleanser that replaces multiple household products—personal wash, pet wash, dish soap, and laundry pre-wash—this gallon of Dr. Bronner's citrus Castile soap is designed for budget-conscious, eco-minded households. It’s also a good fit for people who prefer transparent ingredient lists and recyclable packaging. Those with highly sensitive skin should dilute carefully and test a small area first.
