Sierra Dawn Outdoor Soap - Premium Biodegradable Camping & Backpacking Essential - All-Purpose Natural Soap for Dishes, Clothes & Personal Care

The Sierra Dawn Outdoor Soap is a must-have for camping and backpacking trips! I took the 2 oz bottle on a recent weekend hike and was super impressed by how versatile it is — I used it to wash dishes, clean some clothes, and even as body wash, and it worked great for everything. It’s biodegradable, which is really important to me when I’m out in nature, and it rinses off easily without leaving any residue. A little goes a long way, so the 2 oz size is super convenient for travel and lasts longer than you'd think. It has a light, clean scent and didn’t dry out my skin like some other multipurpose soaps do. This is definitely my go-to for any outdoor adventure — highly recommend to anyone who wants an eco-friendly, effective soap that does it all!

I tested both of these soaps by using a 2 oz bottle and showering, shaving, and shampooing until they were used up. I also tested these by cleaning three identical glasses smeared with sausage grease, using three new sponges and cold water. I used 1/4 teas of each on the sponges and Dawn as a comparison. Even though Dr Bronners did better in many areas and is significantly cheaper it ultimately failed in one area: Shampooing. So I just can't recommend it as a single source all around soap. Here are the results of their performance: Showering: Dr Bronners. I got 10 full shower/shaves/shampoos out of Dr Bronners while I only got 8 out of CampSuds. Both left me feeling clean and refreshed. I didn't notice any specific residue or dryness with either. Shaving: Dr Bronners. It did a superior job of softening my beard and smoothing out the shave. CampSuds was passable. Shampoo: CampSuds. My hair felt reasonably clean and soft. Dr Bronners definitely left my hair feeling dry and stiff. Bedhead in the morning was significantly increased and amusing to boot! So you could certainly use Dr Bronners once in a pinch but multiple times is problematic. (At least for my hair. Yours may be different. I'm a guy. I don't know much about these type of things.) Scent: CampSuds. It has a very faint but pleasant minty pine smell. Dr Bronners has a very strong menthol smell. Personnaly I liked Dr Bronners better. But this is about the best all around soap. Some might not like such a powerful scent. But I can't see anyone disliking Campsud's scent. So CampSuds wins. Lather: Campsuds. In showering, they were pretty close. But in dishwashing Campsuds was superior. I had to use twice as much Dr Bronners to get the same amount of Lather in the sponge. Grease Cutting: CampSuds. The test comparison, Dawn, was easily the best. No surprise there. But CampSuds was ok. But it was definitely less affective than Dawn. Dr Bronners cut the grease as well as Campsuds but only after doubling the amount. So both Biodegradable soaps were ok and certainly passable. But don't expect them to be as good as anything you use at home. Price: Dr. Bronners (16oz). It seems to run about $10-12 for a 16oz bottle. You can get it on line sometimes with or without a shipping cost or even locally at a target. CampSuds (16oz) is about $12-14 and seems to always have an extra shipping cost of about $6. It also isn't as easy to buy locally. So Campsuds is significantly more expensive and difficult to get. So there you have it. Dr Bronner's is pretty darn good and I wish it had won because it is significantly less expensive. So I'd defiantly give it 4 stars. But if you are only going to have one soap in the outback to do it all, CampSuds is definitely the winner at 5 stars. I hope you found this review helpful. Happy camping!

Campsuds is a must-have for any outdoor adventure! This versatile, biodegradable soap is perfect for campers, backpackers, and travelers who want an effective and eco-friendly way to stay clean outdoors. It works for everything—washing dishes, hands, clothes, and even hair—making it an all-in-one solution for any trip. Highly concentrated, just a few drops go a long way, ensuring one small bottle lasts multiple outings. Plus, it works in all water types, including cold, hot, and salt water. Its lightweight and compact design makes it easy to pack without taking up much space. Best of all, it breaks down naturally, making it safe for the environment when used properly. Whether you're deep in the backcountry or on a weekend camping trip, Campsuds keeps things clean without harming nature—a true essential for any outdoor enthusiast!

I think this bottle is going to last a lifetime because so little is required for great sudsing action. Cleans off the suntan lotion, protects the environment, and even works in saltwater.

I like this all-purpose cleaner, and when I'm spending time outdoors this is pretty much essential. I like that it's made from natural ingredients so it's safe for the environment. I don't have to feel so awful washing my hands/cleaning my gear and leaving chemicals in the earth. It's supposed to be made of vegetable-derived ingredients, and the fragrance is lovely. It has a really invigorating and refreshing smell that I find so pleasing. It's not the biggest bottle, but it's a great size for travel. It's marketed as "super concentrated" but I feel like it doesn't get as sudsy and bubbly as I'd like. You really don't have to use THAT much, but I find myself going through these bottles pretty quickly since I'm using it for EVERYTHING -- laundry, dishes, showering, etc. I find it pretty unsatisfying as a shampoo tbh. I have A LOT of hair and it's long (down to my waist), so this just doesn't do it for me. I can easily go through 1/4 of the bottle for my hair in one wash. It's great for spot cleaning, cleaning dirty dishes and utensils, but make sure you wipe/clean off as much grease and food residue beforehand. If you don't, it just makes cleaning less effective and you'll have to use more of this soap. All in all, I'm happy with the product. You can also buy a large Dr. Bronner's all-purpose bottle to refill this little container afterward. The container is solid and does not leak.

I brought this to Lost Lands and it was a total lifesaver. I used it for dishes, clothes, and even myself after long dusty days. It rinses clean, smells fresh, and I love that it’s biodegradable. One bottle covered everything without needing extra products. Definitely a go-to for camping and festivals.

I was a little hesitant on buying a fancier soap than a generic soap I could find at any store. After reading the benefits of having the biodegradable soap for camping, I decided to give it a try and I’m glad I did. I loved being able to use it on anything while camping. I washed my hands with it and even for my middle son who has sensitive skin, he used it without problems. It washed even some tough campfire soot off my camping dishes and pan. When I needed to hand wash my dish rag, I used this too and it got out all the black from the campfire. It really was the perfect universal and environmentally friendly soap. Perfect in leaving no trace. No harm to my family or to the wildlife around us. You can see in the picture I attached, my youngest son was playing in the water with the soap and it didn’t bother him at all or give me any safety concerns. The best part, I still have a ton left after a two night/three day trip. A little goes a long way! Once this runs out I will definitely buy it again.

Great scent - light and fresh. It works well as a soap for hands, body, dishes, hair, etc. It is a thinner liquid soap that flows out of the bottle quickly, so be careful when pouring. It's concentrated, so you don't need a lot for it to work effectively. It lathers very well, even when shampooing. If you would like more lather, simply use more CampSuds. I have tried other biodegradable products that don't lather no matter how much I use. CampSuds is great! I'm currently using this at home and am quite happy with it.

Tal y cómo está la descripción del proveedor

Very useful product while traveling.

I can't go camping without my suds! Last time I used this was in a waterfall after multiple days of camping without showers. The soap works super well for everything. It's honestly impressive.

Shipping was very fast, but I think the price is high.

Idéal pour tout séjour en camping : il lave tout (vaisselle, corps, cheveux...) en préservant l'écosystème des lacs et forêts.
