Super Soap: Liquid Soap Worth the Splurge & How to Make it Last

Here at Savvy Central, if we come across a true gem, we aren't shy about shouting it from the (virtual) rooftops. Only recently did we discover and feature the wonders of Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps as a Savvy Swoon. "Magic Soap?" we can hear you saying, "Are we in an episode of Little House on the Prairie where Ma and Pa get unwittingly swindled by a smooth-talking city slicker?"

You are not getting swindled. Dr. Bronner's is a truly magical soap from a truly magical company. Now celebrating 150 years of old-world soap making, each Dr. Bronner's product is completely biodegradable, vegetable based, and not only USDA Certified Organic, they're also Certified Fair Trade For Life.

And we haven't even got to the savvy parts. Dr. Bronner's liquid soap has 18-in-1 uses and although we haven't yet run the full operational gamut, we've used it enough to establish personal favorites, such as a mild liquid hand soap, the perfect "delicates" laundry soap, a daily shampoo, and a fruit/veggie rinse. You heard me, fruit & veggie rinse.

So we've sold you on the magic, can you handle even more savvy? Since it's a pure-castile soap, it's extra effective and you can dilute the solution by more than half. That's right, Dr. Bronner's recommends using 1/2 oz (about 2 squirts) per 2 gallons of water, making this one of the savviest buys we've ever found.
