28 Uses for Dr Planet Cheat Sheet
Versatile, Naturally Safe for Home, Body, Laundry, and More
​
Dr. Planet Castile Soap is a concentrated formula designed for versatility. You can use it undiluted for body care or cleaning, or dilute it to extend its use. Both methods are naturally safe and effective, tailored to your needs.
​
Why Dilute Dr. Planet?
Diluting allows you to create custom body and cleaning recipes that suit your preferences, while also making the soap last longer. Here’s how to get the most out of your soap:
​
-
1 tablespoon = 15 ml, which is also the cap size of our refill bottles.
-
Dilution tip: Use cool boiled, filtered, or distilled water for best results. Tap water can affect the freshness and may cause stale odors over time.
-
Shelf life: Dr. Planet Castile Soap lasts 12 to 18 months when stored correctly.
-
Essential Oils: Choose pure, well-sourced oils for your recipes to keep them naturally safe and effective.
