Dr. Bronner’s – All-One Eucalyptus – Pure-Castile Bar Soap

“Countermoon”

I’m pretty sure I wrote about the peppermint version of this bar soap a-ways back—but at the risk of repeating myself, I’m not going to scroll back and read what I said. If you’re someone who, after reading everything on the Dr. Bronner’s packaging, wants to know more about Dr. Bronner’s… the internet was made for you. You can also spend a good day, if you like, reading about eucalyptus. Personally, I’m just exhausted from writing the name of this soap. But I wanted to specify that it’s the bar soap version. I’ve always been a fan of their liquid peppermint soap, but I haven’t had any in a while. Am I ever going to—on this site—write reviews of liquid soap? No, I am not. Am I going to try all nine or so flavors of their bar soap (listed on the package)? I’m not sure. It’s seems like you might want to just stop with the peppermint and move on—yet here I am with another version. Well, this is a fine, dependable, not very exciting (but that’s what you want sometimes) bar soap. It’s not a super strong version of eucalyptus, but it’s there. That fragrance is highly evocative to me—what it does, is take me back to when I lived in Portland, Oregon, a quarter-century back, and would sometimes go to my neighborhood wellness center, which I could afford only because I got the very generous neighborhood rate. There was a sauna and a couple of outdoor hot tubs on a deck—it was really nice. And the whole place smelled like eucalyptus.
