Dr. Bronner's Organic Sugar Soap Peppermint, 12 oz — Multiuse Gentle Cleanser & Hydrating Castile-Style Lather

Dr. Bronner's Organic Sugar Soap in Peppermint is a multiuse liquid cleanser made from fair trade organic sugar, shikakai powder, and nourishing organic oils to gently cleanse and hydrate hair, face, body, and hands.

This 12 oz bottle blends Dr. Bronner’s long-standing soap-making techniques with organic and fair trade ingredients for a versatile, pleasantly scented cleanser. Designed to produce a creamy castile-style lather, the formula uses coconut, olive, and hemp oils alongside organic sugar and shikakai powder to lift dirt while preserving moisture. The peppermint essential oil gives a fresh, invigorating aroma that works well in the shower, at the sink, or as an all-purpose wash around the home.

How does this soap work for my hair and scalp?

The sugar-based surfactants create a gentle foam that removes grime without stripping natural oils, while shikakai powder—an age-old botanical—helps condition and detangle. The low-pH, soap-based formula is milder than many conventional shampoos and leaves hair soft when rinsed thoroughly.

• Creates creamy lather to cleanse hair and scalp.
• Shikakai powder helps with gentle conditioning and detangling.
• Organic oils replenish moisture and reduce post-wash dryness.
• Peppermint provides a fresh scent and cooling sensation.

Can I use it on my face and for sensitive skin?

Yes—its blend of organic oils and mild sugar-based cleansing agents is formulated to be gentle on facial skin. While not marketed as a medicated treatment, it can remove dirt, makeup residue, and excess oil without aggressive stripping when used with lukewarm water and followed by your regular moisturizer.

• Mild, low-pH soap suitable for many sensitive skin types.
• Organic coconut and olive oils soothe and hydrate skin barrier.
• Use a small amount and rinse thoroughly to avoid residue.
• Patch-test if you have known sensitivities to essential oils.

What makes this an eco-conscious choice?

Dr. Bronner’s emphasizes organic, fair trade sourcing and sustainable packaging: the soap uses fair trade organic sugar, responsibly sourced oils, and comes in bottles made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. The company’s ingredient transparency and support for fair labor practices help reduce environmental and social impact compared with conventional liquid soaps.

• Fair trade organic sugar and palm kernel oil support farmers.
• 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles reduce landfill waste.
• Ingredients are non-GMO and vegan-friendly.
• Concentrated formula limits overuse and packaging frequency.

How should I use and store this peppermint sugar soap?

Dispense a small amount into hands, a washcloth, or a loofah and lather with water for hands, body, face, or hair. For hair, work into the scalp and rinse thoroughly; for face, use gentle circular motions and avoid the eye area. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve essential oil fragrance and product quality.

• Use sparingly—concentrated formula foams well with little product.
• Rinse thoroughly after hair and face use to prevent residue.
• Keep cap closed and store out of direct sunlight.
• Patch-test on the inner wrist or behind the ear if uncertain.

Who is this for: Dr. Bronner's Organic Sugar Soap (Peppermint, 12 oz) is suited for people seeking a single, natural cleanser that handles multiple routines—those who want an eco-conscious, fair trade product with pleasant peppermint scent. It appeals to users who prefer plant-based ingredients, low-waste packaging, and a mild formula for hands, body, face, and hair. If you have very dry, reactive, or medically sensitive skin, consider consulting a dermatologist before regular facial use.
