Dr. Bronner's Factory Tour: Liquid Soap Production

Come along with me on this tour of the Dr. Bronner's factory! This is where we make our Dr. Bronner's Pure-Castile soap.
How I hate saying no to factory tours. I feel like I’m selfishly hoarding something that is really awesome. If I weren’t already in on it, I’d totally want to see it, too. But we can’t squeeze in tours, as you’ll see. There’s just not enough space. There’s too much magic happening!
So I’ve created the next best thing: a video tour. A peek inside our headquarters, following the path of liquid soap production - from raw materials in, to bottled soap out.
I don’t have a lot of experience in factories other than Dr. Bronner’s, but I do think we have the most gorgeous and fascinating operation. It is filled with stories, lessons and the practical expression of our 6 Cosmic Principles. I’m glad I get to share this with you here.
To learn more about Dr. Bronner's and our Castile Soaps, visit my website, “Going Green with Lisa Bronner” at LisaBronner.com.

Yes, me too. My heart sank at that part, because I immediately thought it was from Indonesia, and I can't bear the thinking of my soap hurts the orangutans.

I love the peppermint soap. I will always support a company that does right by their employees, and sources their ingredients from fair trade farmers/growers. When companies choose to put the planet and its inhabitants over profits, only good will follow. Thank you for providing a great product, while also impacting the planet positively.

Such a fresh, tingly sensation after a soapy shower. I'd peeled off a label and hung it on our bulletin board at work to spread the word. Love the company philosophy of world peace, ecology, and helping your workers. That is why I will buy your product forever ! Terry from Chicago.

I enjoy mine with a nice exfoliating body cloth in the shower before bed. It’s very soothing to me doesn’t dry my skin out. Don’t worry about it if you haven’t had any reactions. I used to only just use bar soap. Now I’m using bar soap to wash my armpits down there and sweaty areas. And to treat myself I’ll use dr bronners It’s my routine now before bed whenever I feel like it. Dermatologists don’t recommend this for dry sensitive skin, or eczema. Essential oils can cause bad reactions etc and coconut oil and dry skin out. I love it though. Used my lavender one, now trying almond scent. The unscented is still drying be careful and switch to unscented soap bar

Glad I watched this video. Retaining your employees was the thing to do, the right thing. I used to teach CorelDraw X back in the 90's. One of my clients was Young Sign Company, Las Vegas. Management had laid-off one of their long time employees because he did not know how to use the PC to design their signs. When the owners heard about it, they immediately hired the employee back and hired me to train him on their site, for one month! "Ducky" was the employee (6'4", former Division I college football player! His grandma's nickname for him). He flourished. Your story of the hand-fillers reminded me of Ducky and how Yesco did right by him. He designed the Native American Headdress seen at Buffalo Bill's Casino, Primm Nevada.

Hi Big E- That's great you like our products! We’d love to switch to a regenerative material that can be recycled or composted after its useful life has ended-however, a material that meets these goals, is organically grown, and is resilient enough for our purposes has yet to be developed. In the meantime, know that we use 100% post-consumer recycled PET plastic bottles for most of our liquid soaps, and we participate in bottle-to-bottle recycling-the recycling of used plastic bottles into new bottles, which helps conserve virgin resources and reduces landfill. Also, some co-ops and natural stores do offer filling stations. Hopefully there's one nearby you.
