I am perhaps known for lengthy and detailed product reviews. This product. however, can be summed in a single word:
Other words come to mind. They rhyme and are the same length. HINT: One of them is not "duck".
It's hard to know where to start. The Dr. Bronnerer brand is widely known for their excellent castile soap and pure organic products. I have used the company's certified-organic "DR, BRONNER'S MAGIC SOAPS' continuously since the late '60s.
For those not familiar with their products, their names are quirky and ramble on. My 32 oz. soap bottle is called: "18-in 1 'ALL-ONE' PEPPERMINT PURE CASTILE SOAP MADE WITH ORGANIC OILS'. The label continues with an additional 3,000 words containing the company founder's sometimes bizarre philosophy of life, quotations from Confuses and other tidbits--all at odd angles in 4-point type. Dr. Bronner was apparently both a genius and a genuine odd-ball.
Back to the product. "DR. BRONNER'S MAGIC ORGANIC SHAVING GEL SMOOTH MOISTURIZING LEMONGRASS LIME" 7 oz. tube contains an odd smelling semi-liquid fluid that looks and feels like used motor oil. The color also brought to mind the juice I found inside the grasshoppers I squashed as a kid, or what I imagine the contents of an Old West spittoon looked like. Not pleasant.
The gel is nasty to use. It's not very effective as a beard wetter/softener, not very moisturizing, provides very little glide and no cushioning at all. Altogether, it's a noxious looking, unpleasant and ineffective mix. I can't recommend it to anyone but my sworn enemies.
But it is pure and organic. Here is the list of contents:
"INGREDIENTS:
Organic Sucrose*, Organic White Grape Juice, Organic Coconut Oil*, Potassium Hydroxide**, Organic Olive Oil*, Organic Shikakai Powder, Organic Hemp Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Corn Starch, Organic Lemongrass Oil, Organic Lemon Oil, Organic Lime Oil, Citric Acid, Tocopherol"
YUCK
