Guest guest Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 I used to be a manager/buyer of the " health and beauty aids " at a health food store and I have heard this complaint about the Dr.Bronners Peppermint soap for YEARS! Burns the face and OTHER sensitive body areas! The makers of that soap have NO concept in that area I suppose its a good thing they don't make a Cinnamon soap, huh? I hope your face feels better! *Smile* Chris Look Out! Look In! Coming Soon!

Chris, Janine Sorry that I'm laughing - not at your ouchy face, but the fact that it says 'dilute! dilute! dilute! about a dozen times on the bottle, doesn't it? That's always been a joke on lists, the dilute! bit and all the weird writings. PS I used some Olbas Herbal bath soap today (liquid) with has many EOs in it besides peppermint, all of them 'zingy', and heck, I like the way it makes my 'other areas' feel :-) http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're supposed to dilute it. But I wouldn't use the peppermint on my face, even if I diluted it a lot. I use Dr. Bronners soaps for shampoo and for body wash, but I always dilute them a lot, so I never have a problem with them. The label tells you to dilute it, and it suggests various dilutions for different uses; but I do a 1:1 dilution for body wash and a 1:3 dilution for shampoo. I even know people who brush their teeth with the peppermint, but I've never used it for that. -- Sandy (the almond is my favorite) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 LOL. there's so much writing on it, AND it's so little, I couldn't find directions to dilute! I too, like little stingy things but not on my face. I used to put salt on small cuts when I was a kid, cause I liked the feel of it. And I like stuff like tei fu lotion in other areas. [can ya tell i used to sell nature's sunshine?] but not ma face. I just wimp right up when it comes to my face. Course, having had oral surgery 3 weeks and 2 days ago makes me a weinie for a while with stuff where my face is concerned.
