Dr Bronner's Bar Soap - Almond

THE BRAND

Dr Bronner began making soaps in 1858! That's some experience!

Everything Dr Bronner does is guided by 6 Cosmic Principles..

Work Hard & Grow
Number one in Dr. Bronner’s Moral ABC: Work hard! Prosper! Learn, grow, improve. Success is the engine that makes everything else possible.

Do right by customers
First ingredient: love! Lead with heart, take time, give best—serve customers as you would serve mother-daughter-son.

Treat employees like family
Be kind, reward generously, support good and healthy living. Seek and encourage the best in one another. For whatever unites us is greater than whatever divides us!

Be fair to suppliers
Build relationships with organic farmers and producers to create equitable supply chains. Fair prices for farmers, living wages and excellent working conditions for workers, investment in communities, respect for land and people!

Treat the earth like home
Make humble and mindful use of the earth’s gifts. Do not waste, do not harm the land or people or animals. What comes from the earth must go back!

Fund & fight for what's right
Be an engine for positive change—share profits, share talent, share muscle, share voice—give & give, fund & fight!
