What the gurus are saying

One guru found it exceptionally effective for cleaning makeup brushes, gentle yet powerful enough to remove product buildup where other soaps fall short. However, another expert cautions that the formulation can be drying on skin, so those with sensitive skin may want to skip it or dilute it heavily if using it directly on the face or body, and should reach for something with added moisturizers instead.

"The next section I'm kind of calling miscellaneous, and I only have one in here, and this is the Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap. I use this product specifically for cleaning my makeup brushes. It's super gentle, but it's actually effective at getting them proper clean, mean proper clean. I've been without it for about a month or so, and I'm really struggling. Soaps and shampoos, nothing seems to get the makeup out of the brushes as well as this, so I did just reorder one a few days ago and I got the really big super size one, so it'll probably last me... this one lasted probably six months, I'd say the next one will last me a year."

"The Castile soap people, that stuff can be really drying on the skin so take heed. You want something nice and moisturizing if you're someone with particularly sensitive skin."

"I know that Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap has a cult following, but the problem with this is it can be pretty drying overall, so just be aware of that."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
