Think what you will, I've converted several households to only use Dr. Bronner's and be generally clean of VOC pollutants. Sure, it's fucking annoying when someone's making you change the ways you've been settling into for decades, and it's also the truth, and a fight worth fighting, in my opinion.
It's also easier than you think to change these habits.
- e7fyeuuerg 6y agoThankyou for demonstrating my point.
- forgotmypw17 6y agoWhat is your point? That I shouldn't communicate to people I'm close with about about harm they're doing to themselves and myself and help them change their ways?
- LargoLasskhyfv 6y agoThink of the kitties! It's good for them too!
- NickBusey 6y agoYou mean the same Dr. Bronner's who's label is completely covered with religious insanity? Thanks, but I think I'll pass on supporting such a company.

- forgotmypw17 6y agoDr. Bronner escaped from Nazi Germany while the rest of his family were murdered. I think he gets a pass for writing "all one" and "love one another" on the bottles. It actually is not that insane if you take the time to read it without anti-religious bias. Aside from that, it's the only brand I've seen which reliably does not put literally poisonous substances in their main product.
- NickBusey 6y agohttp://dev.null.org/psychoceramics/collection/bronner.html http://dev.null.org/psychoceramics/collection/bronner.html It is definitely not just "all love".
- Judgmentality 6y agoHoly fuck. I use that soap as I believe it's a wonderful product, and I always knew the label was crazy but I've never bothered to look at just how much insanity was on there.
- astrange 6y agoIt's not Dr. Bronner's fault he's schizophrenic.
- spicybright 6y agoFucking love Dr Bronners, I'm happy I'm glad at least that is good. Most people I know see it only as a body wash, and get freaked out when I use it for other things like mopping the floors.
- samizdis 6y agoI've been to the US only a few times, and have never come across Dr. Bronner's, but the comments here piqued my interest and so I looked up Emanuel Bronner and read his Wikipedia entry [1]. It describes a fascinating, if partly tragic, life and I'm surprised not to have seen a movie about it. Anyhow, at the bottom of the Wiki page is a link to a piece in Inc. magazine from April 2012 [2], The Undiluted Genius of Dr. Bronner's. This gives a brief biog of the man and also interviews family members running the company now (or, at least, in 2012). Weird doesn't do the company's early or recent history justice; a cracking article - and the next time I go to the US (if I get to, Covid etc) I am definitely going to pick up some product.

- forgotmypw17 6y agoThe brand's popularity has exploded lately, in part because many people are waking up to the badness of most other products. Amazingly, they have held up their quality for now, unlike e.g. Seventh Generation or Mrs. Meyers.
