Castille soap packets vs liquid from Dr Bronner bottle

Is the soap concentration in the packets the same as in the bottle? ie. the packet contains ⅓ oz but what volume from the bottle is equivalent?

I would expect the same concentration. Why wouldn’t it be the same if from the same manufacturer? Different companies would probably have different concentrations.

@vito_paster,

If you need assistance with questions like this about equivalence of enema or other products, obtain and share more specific information with us. Which packets made by which company? Same as your Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap company? Is Bronner’s literally one company or a licensed name manufactured by several? Then call, text or mail the companies and verify the information. Years ago I had Castile packets from Beth Tyler, plus bottles of Castile liquid named for Bronner’s and also from before that Dr. Woods. The usage directions were the same but I’ve no idea if they were of identical composition. Go do some research and if you find out first, let us know. I use only Castile Soap or sometimes J&J Baby Shampoo for enemas, so I’d be interested. Thanks,

Eric

It can vary. If you want to be sure you can take a known volume, evaporate off the water, then measure the mass of the solids (the actual soap) and see what the concentration (w/v) is for comparison.

The good news is that the concentration isn't critical, there is a pretty broad range of effective yet safe concentrations in a SSE.

Sounds complicated. Just try the package vs a comparable dose from the bottle.

If both soaps are USP (United States Phamocopia), they are probably petty close in composition. ⅓ Oz is about 2 teaspoons.
