Dr. Bronner’s Baby Liquid Soap – Mild — 16 oz

Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps: 18-in-1 Hemp Aloe Vera Baby-Mild Pure-Castile Soap.

Dr.
Bronner’s ALOE VERA BABY-MILD Pure-Castile Soap is formulated to be a
mild smooth soap for use on newborns (but still make sure to keep it
out of the eyes). Because the Baby-Mild contains no essential oils,
imaginative grown-up babies can add their own favorites to craft
personally unique bathing spaces (the Rosemary Extract is effective as
an anti-oxidant in our soap at 0.005%, so contributes absolutely no
scent).

Supermild Castile has outstanding water softening and
cleansing powers, preferable to harsh soap & defattening
synthetics. It does not cut dirt, but dissolves it. It is the mildest,
most pleasant soap you have ever used.

Soap is made by
saponifying a fat or oil with a strong alkali. A fat or oil is a
triglyceride, which means that three fatty acids of various carbon
lengths are attached to a glycerine backbone. The strong alkali is
either sodium (for bars) or potassium (for liquids) hydroxide. The
saponification process is a simple one-step reaction with no waste
generated: the glycerine is split off from the fatty acids, and the
fatty acids combine with the sodium or potassium to form soap, while
the hydroxide forms water. The result is soap, glycerin and water (no
alkali remains).

Quality soap-making consists in great part in
choosing the right proportions of the right oils with their different
fatty acids. Most commercial soaps skimp on quality because of cost,
and use lots of tallow from beef fat with a little bit of coconut or
palm kernel oil. Our unsurpassed soaps use olive, hemp, and palm oils
instead of tallow, and use three to four times more coconut oil than
commercial soaps. Saponified coconut oil generates high-lather
cleansing even in hard water because it has shorter-chain saturated
fatty acids. Hemp, olive, and palm based soaps make a mild, smooth,
creamy lather, because these oils contain longer chain unsaturated and
polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Dr. Bronner’s makes a higher
quality soap in other ways as well. Unlike most commercial soapmakers
who distill the glycerin out of their soaps to sell, we retain it in
our soap for its superb moisturizing qualities. We also superfat our
soap with olive fatty acid, which both ensures that there is no free
alkali, and lowers the pH, making a milder, smoother lather. We use
rosemary extract and plant-derived vitamin antioxidants to protect
freshness (the rosemary is effective at 0.005%, so it contributes
absolutely no scent). We do not add any chelating agents, dyes,
whiteners, or synthetic fragrances.

We use only 100% pure high
quality essential oils. Our liquid soaps are so concentrated that they
are only a few percent away from being a solid, which ecologically
saves on packaging materials. They are a superb value, costing less
than less-concentrated inferior detergent body-wash “liquid soaps.” Our
soaps are most popular for at-home washing, but they also are the
choice when camping and hiking, as our soaps are so biodegradable and
nature-friendly. Dr. Bronner’s soaps have spread by quality and word of
mouth alone into virtually every health food store in the country.
Unsolicited articles raving about our soaps have appeared in magazines
and newspapers as diverse as Natural Health, Outdoor Gear, Vogue, The
Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, The Associated Press, The Wall
Street Journal, Parenting and New Age.
