Dr. Bronner’s, which is distributed in over 25 countries worldwide and maintains a European headquarters in Germany, has appointed Healthy Sales Group as its UK distributor.

The new UK distributor will be supported by Dr. Bronner’s UK PR company, The Spa PR Company which has worked with the brand since 2009.

“I would first like to thank Kinetic and their incredible team for all their hard work over the past 10 years in helping us to become a major operator in the UK natural personal care market. They have given us a fantastic base to build on for the next chapter in our journey.
In recent years, we have experienced significant growth globally and we feel it is the right time to realign our distribution model to best match the needs of our customers, partners and the evolving international landscape. We are therefore pleased to be welcoming Healthy Sales Group as our UK partner and together we are excited about taking Dr. Bronner’s to the next level.”

Dr. Bronner’s is a family business committed to honouring the vision of founder Emanuel Bronner by making socially and environmentally responsible products of the highest quality, and by dedicating profits to help make a better world. The company’s commitment to progressive business practices is part of the company’s mission to put into practice the principles that inform the philosophy printed on the company’s iconic soap labels written by founder Emanuel Bronner. Bronner was a third generation soap maker who spent his life renouncing hate and war on a personal mission to unite mankind. His strong views and lectures landed him in a mental asylum in Chicago, but eight months later in 1948, Bronner escaped and continued with his message in California. During this time, he also began making peppermint liquid soap under the ‘Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps’ brand. He gave the soap away during his talks but soon realised people were taking it without listening to him speak. As a result, he started writing his philosophy on the bottle in tiny script, which is still used on Dr. Bronner’s packaging today. The company is the top-selling natural brand of soap in North America and widely renowned around the world. Based on 2015 sales, a bottle of Dr. Bronner’s soap was sold, on average, every 3 seconds.
