Meet the Two Amazing Small Businesses We’re Mentoring This Year!

And for a limited time, get 25% off their newest products!

After 76 years of building a purpose-driven business, Dr. Bronner’s has learned a lot along the way. This year, we’re honored to share some of that experience with two up and coming natural product companies that lead with their values.

Each year, we select one or two companies to mentor—businesses led by inspiring people, with high-quality products and promising futures. We prioritize working with companies that face barriers to growth due to systemic inequities that limit access to resources. By offering mentorship, we hope to help bridge that gap and support their growth.

Research shows [1] that mentorship can be transformative: mentored businesses see up to 80% faster revenue growth and are twice as likely to make it through their first five years. We’re humbled to play a small part in helping these brands grow, and we’re excited to introduce our mentees for 2024-2025 .

Introducing Butter’d Bodycare

Butter’d Bodycare began when founder Brittany Bygrave started making nourishing skincare in her college dorm room. Today, Butter’d creates rich, deliciously scented moisturizers crafted for melanated and dry skin. Their standout product, Helly Jelly, is a clean, nourishing alternative to traditional petroleum-based jelly, perfect for extra-dry areas like elbows, knees, tattoos, and even baby skin. Butter’d has also introduced two new vanilla-scented products: a body oil and a body butter, now available in select boutiques. Through December 15, 2024, Dr. Bronner’s community can enjoy 25% off Butter’d Bodycare using code DRBRONNER25.

Introducing Shea Radiance

Shea Radiance started in the kitchen of Funlayo and Shola Alabi who wanted better products for their family to address dry skin and eczema. Nearly 15 years later, they’ve expanded to a full line of shea butter products, body washes, and hair care, all ethically sourced from women-run cooperatives in Nigeria, Ghana, and Benin. Their latest offering is a facial care line infused with mushroom extracts known to hydrate, brighten, and reduce fine lines. Dr. Bronner’s customers can enjoy 25% off Shea Radiance’s new mushroom face care products through December 15 using code DRBRONNER25.
