Brand

Dr. Bronner’s started as a small family business back in 1940s and quickly became the world’s most trusted leader of the organic and fair trade movement responsible for making socially and environmentally caring products of the highest quality and dedicating their profits to help make a better world. Today Dr. Bronner’s is the largest personal care company certified under USDA’s National Organic Program and is committed to becoming a zero waste operation factory.

Organic Palm Oil is a primary ingredient in Dr. Bronner’s Castile Bar Soaps. Palm Oil gives the bar its hardness and balances the lathering power of coconut oil, while keeping the soap from softening and dissolving too fast. The company’s Palm Oil is produced ethically from sustainably-harvested palm fruits in Ghana’s Eastern Region.
