This soap has been in my household for over 30 years. PURE-CASTILE SOAP! It used to be much darker and potent . Now it's lighter. They've altered the formula as with everything. Either way it's an AMAZING soap. Do your research. You can use it for/on everything! A little goes a long way. #peppermintsoap #iputthatshitoneverything #drbronners #thankmelater #nothankmenow
