About Dr. Bronner's
Dr. Bronner's is a family-owned company famous for its pure-castile soaps, tracing back to master soapmaker Emanuel Bronner and still run by his descendants under an All-One philosophy. It makes concentrated liquid and bar soaps along with body care, hair care, toothpaste, and home products.
The company operates as a Benefit Corporation guided by six principles covering fair treatment of customers, workers, suppliers, and the Earth, and its ingredients carry Regenerative Organic, USDA Organic, and Fair Trade sourcing certifications. One honest note: after years as a certified B Corp, the company announced in 2025 that it is dropping that certification over concerns about weakened standards, so B Corp should no longer be counted among its current credentials.
