Dr. Bronner's

Dr. Bronner's was founded in 1948 by Emanuel Bronner, a German-Jewish soapmaker who emigrated to the US and created his iconic Pure-Castile Soap -- an all-purpose, biodegradable soap made from organic oils. The brand is known as much for the dense ethical and philosophical text covering its labels as for the product itself. Dr. Bronner's is now the top-selling natural soap brand in the US, certified organic and Fair Trade across its entire supply chain. The company donates one-third of profits to charitable causes and activist campaigns.
