Is this bar mild enough for face washing?

Yes, many owners use it on the face as well as the body. It has no synthetic detergents, but castile soap is still cleansing, so dry or sensitive skin may prefer it only a few times a week.

How does it compare with Dr. Bronner's liquid castile soap?

The bar is the same plant-oil soap in solid form. It is easier to travel with and less likely to spill, while the liquid is easier to dilute for cleaning recipes.

What does the almond scent smell like?

It is sweet and warm, closer to marzipan or amaretto than to raw almonds. The scent is noticeable in the shower but fades after rinsing.

Can I use it for anything besides washing?

Yes. Diluted, castile soap is commonly used in homemade cleaning and laundry recipes. Keep it out of eyes and dilute before spraying on plants.

How should I store the bar so it lasts?

Keep it on a draining soap dish away from standing water. Castile bars soften quickly when they sit wet, so letting them dry between uses makes them last longer.
