Soaps generally haveone purpose- to keep the body clean, but there are certain rather special soaps which can do a heck of a lot more besides!

Having been introduced to Dr Bronner, I can safely say I am hooked! Beginning life 150 years ago, the family empire has been growing steadily, and now includes liquid soaps, hand and body lotions, lip balms, body balms, hair wash- there’s even a cleaner for the home- all with that mysteriously enigmatic packaging.

Naturally produced, each product is an expert at what is says on the tin, but the one that is a miracle to me is the Dr Bronner’s Magic Soap… It’s so magic, it has 18 uses including mouthwash and toothpaste, shampoo, shaving cream and washing liquid! A miracle indeed! Flavours vary, but if you’re planning to gargle  with it, I would recommend the peppermint over lavender (unless you are a huge fan of Parma Violets!)

A little goes a long way, so the cuter than cute bottles are the perfect pep me up if you travel alot- hand sanitiser, breath freshner and balms will all get you through security.  There is even a baby mild and sensitive care range, so you can keep baby smelling of roses too, and the organic jojoba oil, beeswax avocado and hemp oil are designed to soothe baby’s dry anywhere! What sounds better than that?

In squeezy, foamy, waxy, hempy, versions there is something for all the family. And remember a little of the good stuff goes a long way!
