Dr. Bronner’s New Decade Beauty Resolutions

10 Simple Ways to Reduce Consumption in 2020 and Beyond with Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castile Liquid Soap

November 21, 2019

With the start of a new decade, Dr. Bronner’s, the top-selling brand of natural soap in North America, is encouraging consumers to shop more sustainably by highlighting its super-sized 946ml size, 18-in-1 Pure-Castile Liquid Soap. Due to the concentration of pure, organic, natural ingredients, and the variety of ways it can be used so that more can be done with less, Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Liquid Soap is known by many as the ultimate plant-powered multi-tasker.

To kickstart the next 10 years, Dr. Bronner’s is encouraging consumers to phase out not one, but 10 personal hygiene products in 2020 with one single bottle of its super-sized Pure-Castile Liquid Soap. With each simple swap, bathroom cabinets across the UK can help to make small changes that will have a direct and powerful impact on making the next decade the most eco-conscious yet.

Dr. Bronner’s ‘New Decade’ Pure-Castile Liquid Soap Swaps:

  1. Body Wash – One small squirt on a wet washcloth, applied to a wet body
  2. Hand Wash – Pre-dilute one squirt of Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Soap with water to wash hands
  3. Cleanser – 2-3 drops on wet hands, apply to wet face in circular motions

  5. Foot Soak – One squirt in a small tub of hot water
  6. Make-up brush cleaner – Wet the make-up brushes in water.  Add 1-2 drops of Castile soap right on to the bristles.  Massage in gently for 10+ seconds, then rinse.  Repeat cleaning as needed until water runs clear.

Notes to editors:

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” 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 has grown to become the top-selling natural soap maker in North America and a major brand worldwide. Based on 2018 sales, a bottle of Dr. Bronner’s soap was sold, on average, every 2.2 seconds.
