Notes to editors:
Dr. Emanuel Bronner was a third generational soap maker who spent his life renouncing hate and war on a personal mission to unite mankind by giving public lectures on the message of world peace and the dangers of communism and fascism, following the death of his family in the Holocaust.
His strong views landed him in a mental asylum in Chicago, but eight months later in 1948 Bronner escaped and continued giving lectures in California. He also began making peppermint liquid soap under the ‘Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps’ brand. He gave away soap during his talks and when he realized people were taking it without listening to him speak, he started writing his philosophy on the bottle in tiny script, which is still used on Bronner’s packaging today.
Despite Bronner’s death in 1997 his products continue to flourish under his son Ralph, daughter in-law Trudy and grandsons David and Michael, with an ever growing fan base including Drew Barrymore, Eminem, Sandra Bullock and Bobbi Brown
