The history of Dr. Bronner’s, celebrating its 75th anniversary, can be told through five buildings that were the foundation of my family’s soapmaking legacy.
Inside Dr. Bronner’s
Don’t you love a good behind-the-scenes glimpse? I love the way Dr. Bronner’s does everything, and here I get the chance to share it with you. You’ll see that we’re not just about the soap!
In 2023 the company marks its 75th anniversary, but Dr. Bronner was not the first soapmaker in his family—he was the third. Meet all five, starting in 1858.
Go behind-the-scenes to glimpse how we make Castile Bar Soap! Be hypnotized by the honeycomb screens. Get mesmerized by the stamper. You’ll agree with me that soapmaking is really nifty!
Dr. Bronner wrote the label first, before there was a soap on which to put it. It is a deeply personal message, a life’s mission from my grandfather. It’s what started the whole company now known as Dr. Bronner’s.
I interviewed Gero Leson about his book, Honor Thy Label, which tells the story of how Dr. Bronner’s global supply chain acts out the message on the bottle.
Join me on a tour of the Lavender Castile Soap label and glimpse my grandfather, Dr. Bronner’s, motivations and goals.
