Let me start by saying, I am a long time customer. Have never had issues with any product. But the customer service is lacking. I placed an order and upon receiving this order, was sent incorrect items. I emailed with a photo showing what was actually sent and never got a response, so I then called. I was told that the policy is in order for me to get the item that I actually ordered, I would need to drop off the incorrectly shipped items to UPS. And once they received the item in their hands, they then would send me the actual item I ordered. I PAID for this item. I should get this item. So this “policy”, in my opinion is bonkers. Once that box was scanned, you should have made it right. This was in no part the customers (my) fault. Now, the item has been delivered back to your company and I still have no response or tracking information for the items I purchased almost 2 weeks ago.

Thank you for taking the time to share this, Michelle. We’re very sorry for the frustration you’ve experienced—especially as a long-time customer who has trusted us for years. Receiving the wrong items and then not getting a timely response is understandably upsetting, and the follow-up you described does not reflect the level of service we aim to provide. Your feedback about the return process is important, and we agree that once a return is scanned and in transit, communication should be clear and proactive. We’re reviewing this internally so we can improve how these situations are handled and ensure customers aren’t left waiting without updates. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate your patience, and we’re committed to making this right. -The Bulk Apothecary Team

I purchased this to sample Bulk Apothecary’s Peppermint Castile soap as a potential alternative to Dr. Bronner’s. Visually, it’s a great match, and the initial peppermint aroma when you first pour it is wonderful and revitalizing. However, the performance didn't quite live up to the look. The consistency is very thin and watery, which means it doesn't sud up as well as I’d hoped. I found myself using much more product than expected just to get a decent lather. Because it is so thin, I suspect it might actually work better in a foaming soap dispenser rather than a standard one. The biggest letdown for me was the 'minty' experience—or lack thereof. While it smells great in the bottle, the aroma doesn't last on the skin at all once you rinse off. Most importantly, it lacks that signature 'cooling tingle' or minty feeling on the body that you usually expect from a peppermint castile soap. It’s a decent, gentle cleanser, but it definitely needs more 'oomph' in the concentration and sensation departments. On the other hand delivery was pretty quick and the bottle itself was perfect even sealed very well!

Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear the product arrived quickly, was well-sealed, and that you enjoyed the initial peppermint aroma. At the same time, we truly appreciate you sharing where the Peppermint Castile Soap didn’t meet your expectations—especially regarding consistency, lather, and the level of minty sensation you were hoping for. Your notes are incredibly helpful for our product development team, and we’re passing this along so we can review the formula and consider opportunities to strengthen both the viscosity and the cooling peppermint experience. Thank you again for taking the time to share such clear and constructive feedback. -The Bulk Apothecary Team

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry for the delay with your order. We understand how frustrating it is to wait longer than expected, especially when you need supplies quickly. Once orders leave our facility, transit times are fully controlled by the carrier, but we know that doesn’t make the wait any easier. We’re reviewing this experience with our team to see how we can improve shipping consistency going forward. -The Bulk Apothecary Team
