I happen to be a huge fan of miracle 2, i always carry it on camping trips to bathe in the creek, wash my clothes, dishes, and even around my house on the floors, really everything. i suppose i could say its like dr bronners, in the fact that it is supposed to be diluted. and also, I love the smell of cloves, can i brew a clove tea to spray on my locks to freshen, or must i purchase oil??I'm roughly three weeks in, and they are really starting to impress me, i was never one for brushing my hair or shampooing everyday, so i suppose when i finally just stopped brushing my hair was like... THANK YOU!!!!!!!! anyways, i know this makes no sense, hopefully someone will understand hahahahah!!

im not sure id trust it for anything
compare that to the ingredients in bronners which are all just herbal oils
id stick to bronners
the miracle crap nowhere does it say biodegradable or all natural..i would never ever ever use it while camping..its not environmentally safe
even bronners being the most biodegradable soap on earth is not safe to use in water u gotta wash with ot 300 feet from water cause it only biodegrades fast in soil..in water it can take i think like 180 years
it's meant to be diluted, and i got the same vibe from the dr. bronners site that you did from the miracle 2 site, i mean, glycerin is bad for dreads right????? They leave the glycerin in there soaps, how can that possibly be good???? anyway, i suppose this is the perfect opportunity to point out that everyone has an opinion, and everyone is entitled to it, im just one person who respects it. no hard feelings

The ingredients list kinda scares me. "Energized stabilized oxygenated water"??? What does that even mean? It looks scary too, that thick green liquid.
Looking through their website, I gotta say it looks like one of those scam "holistic miracle" type products. Ick.
I have no opinion on the soap it's self, but I did want to point out that I went searching for 'Miracle 2000' before I saw that she listed a link... and found this 'all in one' liquid vitamin blend. I was thinking to myself " how the hell is she washing her hair with a liquid vitamin...and why?"xD
i tottally understand i hate brushing my hair!!!
The "Energized stabilized oxygenated water" proprietary ingredient is, as you mention knottysleeves, scammy. It's also referred to as "ionized" water or "alkaline" water or many other things people call it. The fact is that all water is always oxygenated and energy stabilized. Water cannot be stabilized more than it already is, and it mixes with many different molecules so this terminology they use is just to capitalize on people's ignorance of the properties of water. They may have pushed a very faint electrical current through the water so they can call it this, or even stirred the water with a magnet wand, but it doesn't actually change the water properties.I don't doubt that this product seems to work for cleaning things and is mostly naturally occurring ingredients, but they probably charge a lot more for it because of the magic water they put in it, when you can probably make the same thing at home using natural ingredients.Essentially it has water (made magic with magnets or electricity!), coconut oil fatty acid used to keep products from separating and is technically a sulfate, calcium, potassium, magnesium. It's no miracle, but it definitely helps the people who make it make money!You can clean anything in your house or camping with natural stuff, and it would be safer than this biodegradable cleanser. Though they say it's safe for nature, a sulfate and calcium, potassium and magnesium in high quantities than found naturally occurring in soil (which would be in this soap) will kill plants. Don't believe me? Try watering your garden with it, everything will die. The only natural soap that won't kill plants is found in yucca, quinoa and soapwort, soapnut, horse chestnut, ginseng, yucca and a natural coating on the seeds of quinoa. It wont foam up as much as soap as youre familiar with it, but if you use the greywater to irrigate your plants they wont die. To me, thats what I want from a natural product.
I just wanted to know if anyone had used or heard of using it, not a complete break down of its alchemical ingredients written in the most patronizing vernacular i have ever seen in an innocent discussion.. thank you. i consider this discussion closed from this day forward.
