La Almona - Pure Castile Liquid Soap, LEMON, 1 Gallon - Multipurpose: Hands, Face, Body, Laundry, Dishes & More - For Sensitive Skin, All-Natural Ingredients, Scented with Essential Oils

I just opened it and tried it yesterday and love it more than any other liquid organic castile soap i have used. First I was taken aback as it is very thin and worried I would go thru it too quickly but not the case. I dont think. you have to be careful pouring it as it comes out so quickly but it does not take much at all to have great lather, and it has no scent which is wonderful for those of us who are sensitive. I have tried them all and many unscented ones still have too much scent. this soap is Perfect. it makes great lather, unscented, leaves skin nice and I just love it more than the other brands I have tried including Bronners for sure. I will be buying this over and over again/. so happy I found it. five stars for this great soap and good value too. just be careful pouring it as it comes out quickly it is thin but it is wonderful.

It soaps. It cleans. It smells good. My only qualms would be that it isn’t as awesome as Burt’s bees baby for kids. It doesn’t feel good in the eyes. So if it’s for you, it does the job, although it feels a little rubbery rinsing off my face? Idk how else to explain it. But it works well and is certainly worth the price. But if you are looking for all natural products for kids, maybe just make sure to use it for their bodies only and not hair or face just to avoid it getting in their eyes. So we use Burt’s bees baby for the baby and for my toddlers hair and face, then this soap for toddler body and all of mmy except hair. I haven’t tried it for hair but I will update if I do. It dries out my skin more then Burt’s too. But the cost difference is crazy lol I’ll take the negatives happily for the natural ingredients and price :)

I have been using this soap for years, it has taken the place of all the other soaps I've used before. It cleans my hands, floor, dishes, clothes, kitchen, bathroom, body, appliances, literally everything but my hair (and I could use it on my hair, but I like my shampoo more). I love that it is great for sensitive skin, doesn't strip the moisture from my hands and body, safe around pets, gentle on clothes, and gets everything universally clean. Why have a handful of different cleansing agents when one will do the job just as easily and more convenient? Put it on autoship and never have to think about cleansing soap ever again!

In the past two months I ordered 6 different brands of castile liquid soap to try. Having tried Dr. Bronners 30 years ago, I decided to try other brands and compare. Here are the brands I compared: Dr. Bronners, Dr. Woods, Cove, Seven Minerals, Carolina, and this brand: La Almona. I really enjoyed washing my hands with La Almona and loved all the lather. My hands feel squeaky clean after rinsing and almost dry, but after towel drying my hands, they are not at all dried out, but super soft. My top two brands for rinsing cleanly and not leaving a white residue, or drying my hands out, are La Almona and Carolina. It's a toss up. I can't decided which I prefer, except that I love how Carolina has different scents, like the almond.

Since purchasing this Castile soap in the one-gallon size with the lavender scent just a few weeks ago I have already switched over to making my own hand soap, dish liquid, HE Laundry Soap (note if making HE laundry soap BE CAREFUL to DILUTE the Castile with water so IT IS SAFE AND NON/LOW-SUDSING FOR HE WASHING MACHINES. In my recipe (which has more ingredients than just Castile Soap) I use ONLY 1 ounce of Castile Soap per gallon of water,) one ounce of Castile Soap to on, and Dishwasher Detergent. My Dishwasher detergent recipe was the toughest to figure out. It took me several tries with different ingredients before I got it perfect and to the performance level of Cascade Complete or higher. Instead of using a store bought optical brightener in my washing machine I instead added a teaspoon of Hydrogen Peroxide to my homemade laundry detergent. I store my laundry peroxide in a plastic dark colored toothpaste squeeze bottle as it pours easier into a measure teaspoon than it does out of the drug store bottle. I am also using plain vinegar and citric acid as my dishwasher rinse aid. I store my large, 4-gallon batch of soap in a 4-gallon bucket and refill old plastic laundry detergent for ease of pouring. I use old hand and dish soap bottles with old-fashioned labels instead of having to purchase others for this purpose. I am very thankful to have this soap with the wonderful, mostly organic ingredients. I have tried other Castile soaps but was disappointed. This one gives such an emollient texture and has citric acid also as a component. I like the aloe and olive oil and Rosemary as they are anti-aging and preserve the skin’s youthfulness. In my opinion, this is the best Castile soap and I will purchase more when I run out. So why did I only give it four stars? Because the width of the aperture of the bottle is wider than I need. Instead of ripping off the manufacturer’s seal I poked a small hole in it closest to where I pour out my soap and this solved the problem easily.-Julie Sands UPDATE 8/24/18 I had to switch back to using Finish Jet Dry as my dishwasher rinse aid as the performance of my home made one (that did not use Castile soap,) was sporadic. I found out using plain household bleach along with the Castile soap in the dishwasher was a good idea. I have been so inspired by the high quality levels of the ingredients in the La Almona Castile Soap that I came up with a new invention. It is a type of soap dispenser that spritzes with a trigger the Castile soap/water blend. This 1-1 ratio of the La Almona castile and water I use as a hand soap and a dish soap for my spouse’s and my hand washable dishes. So I came up with the invention of a decorative trigger dispenser for this that sits on the sink. Less castile soap/water solution is used to wash the dishes, and an individual dish is given one small squirt, as are the hands when washing them. Just the right amount is dispensed, and I find I am using less water to wash my hand washable dishes. The soap leaves me hands supple and soft and my spouse’s also. He has commented on how much he likes my new invention and of using this soap on his hands and the feeling it leaves that he has put lotion on his hands, even though he has not, the soap is that wonderful. Our dishes feel silky smooth also. UPDATE 11/30/18 I found out that this brand soap is also a great jewelry cleaner and if a brush is used it works as well as commercial brush stick style jewelry cleaners. I decided to do this for environmental reasons as I reuse an old brush stick of mine and know that the brush stick containers are very well made and was worried my local recycling center might not know what to do with them or just so busy. So I realized I can use castile soap to clean my jewelry and just re-use my old jewelry brush stick. I might even paint a painting with my other two empty jewelry brush sticks that have been sitting in my bathroom for years, using them as a paint brush. 12/27/18 AMAZING INVENTION UPDATE: La Almona castile soap has so inspired me with its many organic ingredients I have just invented a wonderful spray on grooming solution for the nether regions after showering, a silken mousse, using La Almona Castile Soap. It is non-irritating and for those that are particular like myself and must have the body looking gorgeous, most of us epilate, just leaving a small amount of hair there. Since it is such a small amount sometimes after showering, the nether (pubic) hair looked too straight and had lost its fluffy look. My new spray brings that back and keeps that hair soft as down. It can also be sprayed on the bare skin underneath the front part of the nether for those of us that keep that perfect, and can be sprayed on the behind area as a conditioner after routine epilation to maintain the perfection there. I just spray coif briefly with my fingers and I look even more gorgeous. For men that keep their chest hair coiffed, it will also work for this and even those with light beards, etc. I recommend epilation for hair removal and also laser hair removal. Epilation is actually not painful and since the hair is pulled out with the root it is around three months before regrowth. I DO NOT recommend waxing as that is very painful, especially in the nether area.-Julie Sands

I’ve been using this Castile soap for 4 years and I don’t plan on stopping. It’s gentle on skin, completely unscented, and works for just about everything — hands, face, body, dishes, even some laundry. A little goes a long way since it’s concentrated, so the gallon lasts a long time and is worth the price. I like that it’s made with clean ingredients and doesn’t irritate sensitive skin. If you want one product that covers a lot of uses and keeps things simple, this is it.

This is very nice soap, and I highly recommend it.
