Customer Review: Two Big Problems
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought Dr. Bronner's unscented soap because my pregnant wife became sensitive to the fragrances in our usual kitchen and bathroom liquid soaps. I wanted something odorless, and if it was more natural or chemical-free than the usual soaps, then great.
When we first got this soap, I thought it fit the bill perfectly. There was no fragrance. It lathered fine. And even though it didn't rinse perfectly -- there was a little film of residue -- it wasn't something you noticed after you dried your hands.
Then we noticed two things about Dr. Bronner's that have made me rue ever buying a gallon of the stuff. The first problem is the viscosity. I never thought about this before, but liquid soaps like Dial have the right "thickness" to them -- they aren't so chunky that they clog the pump, but they aren't so thin that they're runny. Dr. Bronner's *is* that thin. Watery, almost. Maybe it's those evil chemicals in the other soaps that gives them their body, but Dr. Bronner's is so thin that all three pumps we tried (an old Dial pump, an old Savon de Marseille pump, and the Progressive International Soap Dispenser from Amazon) had the same problem: it would take two or three presses get the soap coming up (you had to prime the pump); then, once the soap *did* get going, it would shoot out much faster than we were used to; and when it got into your hand, it would dribble between your fingers instead of "plumping up" the way Dial and most liquid soaps do. This makes for a more awkward experience all the way around, and you notice it over time. Somehow the dribble of soap also leaves more of a "candlestick" effect all over your soap pump (waxy beads), and eventually makes a puddle of muck under your dispenser. Careful use can avoid that mess, but when you combine this problem with the second one, the soap becomes almost unusable.
The second problem is this. I never thought about this before either, but liquid soaps like Dial don't *clot*. They have the same viscosity in and out of the bottle, and air doesn't make them immediately crust up. Dr. Bronner's soap behaves more like liquid wax; the part touching the air starts to thicken pretty quickly, even inside the pump. (You can see this in any pump with a transparent body.) This is a real deal-breaker because, at the tip of all three pumps we tried, the small residue of un-ejected soap would sit there and clump up in the air. The next time you used the soap, a little more would clump. By the third or fourth time, the tip would get half-clogged. And unlike any liquid soap of usual thickness (see above), which would be viscous enough to just push those clog out of the tip -- you would get that crusty bead of soap in your hands while you lathered, but otherwise no problem -- Dr. Bronner's is so watery that, instead of pushing the crust out of the tip, the soap goes *around* the crust, and now what you have, instead of a soap pump, is a high-pressure fire-hose. Many, many times when using this soap we have had it shoot three, four, five feet, in unpredictable directions. On mirrors and windows, clothes and walls. Let me tell you how fun it is to scrub the inside band of your wristwatch because your stupid soap can't land where you pumped it. One time, Dr. Bronner's landed in the eye of our two-year-old son, who started screaming. I'm sure, if we had to put liquid soap in our son's eyes, Dr. Bronner's is the safest stuff around. But we've tried many soaps in this house, and Dr. Bronner's is the only one we've ever had these really aggravating problems with.
So: this product is good for being odorless, and good (I guess) for having fewer industrial chemicals. I don't mind the wash it gives, though I've had better. But for a pump soap, it is seriously lousy. I strongly discourage you from using it this way.
