From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bronner wasn't really a rabbi.

[edit] Information to review for inclusion into article.

According to information on the companies website under FAQS, using castile soap as a shampoo is not one of their formal recommendations. Here is info to review below.

Castile soap has a high alkalinity level, measured at about 9. pH of skin and hair has a slightly acidic pH level known to be about 5 to 6. Due to the higher pH level, liquid castile soap is not highly recommended by this company for washing hair because it is not pH-balanced and it may be drying to sensitive hair. Also, the brand name is Dr. Bronners Magic Soaps but E.H. Bronner was never a doctor. I was thinking of adding the two sentences which are the following below. Please overview. Thanks.

The brand name is Dr. Bronners Magic Soaps and yet the founder was never a doctor.

According to information on the companies website cited under the heading FAQS, using liquid castile soap as a shampoo for washing hair is not one of their formal recommendations.

It should also be noted that, contrary to the article, Bronner never claimed that his soap could function as a contraceptive; this misnotion is primarily due to the term "owl's birth-controlled love" found on the wrapper of his baby soap. What this passage means, is that love is influenced by life and birth, not that, literally, the soap functions as a method of birth control.

[edit] "I agree."

Bronner was never really a doctor. It is just marketing. That is the nature of the beast.
