Dr Bronner's embraces quackery outright, as to what degree it was intentional originally it's a mystery, the founder had a troubled background as a Jew escaping Nazi Germany, and went to the US to found a pacifistic cult around castile soap, that had actual followers.
Anyway, I find it's very good on the skin, I guess that them selling somewhat fancy soap as overpriced floor cleaner just adds to the mystique.

Castile soap being the floor cleaner sold as fancy soap? The reason it caught my eye is because Dr. Bronner’s also makes a lesser-known concentrated detergent called Sal Suds, which is more recommended for cleaning non-living stuff including floors and laundry. The “Dilute!” exhortation is no joke. 2-3 tbsp is enough for a full load of laundry. It’s almost the only household cleaner I use.
