Why We Trust This Brand
Dr. Bronner's has been independent for nearly 80 years — longer than Unilever has been buying up natural brands. The ingredient list is USDA Organic and Fair Trade certified. The business practices (salary caps, profit donations, activist lawsuits) demonstrate a level of integrity that no corporate-owned brand can match. This is the benchmark.
Ingredient Deep Dive
Saponified organic oils: coconut, olive, hemp, and jojoba. That is the base formula. Organic essential oils for scent. Water. Organic sugar (in the sugar soap line). Every ingredient is certified organic and fair trade. No synthetic surfactants, no preservatives (the soap is self-preserving), no petrochemicals. Perfect 10.

Ownership & Independence
Dr. Bronner's is family-owned and operated by the 5th generation of the Bronner family. The company is structured to prevent any future sale — it is legally organized as a benefit corporation committed to its social mission. No venture capital, no corporate parent, no possibility of acquisition. The ultimate in independence.
