Why did Dr. Bronner's prices increase?Updated a month ago

We completely understand that budgets are tight and that shoppers have to spend their dollars wisely. To be fully transparent, the price margins on our products are actually razor-thin, and the cost of our products reflects the organic, fair-trade, purpose-driven nature of our ingredients, ensuring that fair wages and fair prices are paid throughout our supply chain. 

When companies make products cheaper, someone somewhere is paying the cost. Usually, this is communities in developing nations, where farmers and laborers work for pennies in unsafe conditions while their environment is rapidly degraded. We choose not to externalize costs in this way, as our commitment to organic and fair trade is the value upon which our brand was built and the principle that will always remain. 

Beyond this, our products like Pure-Castile Liquid Soaps and Sal Suds Biodegradable Cleaner are formulated to be concentrated and extremely versatile! In particular, our Liquid Soaps are 2-3x more concentrated than conventional soaps on the market, and our Sal Suds is even more concentrated than our soap! This means that these products can be diluted and made to last. For a full breakdown on all the amazing ways you can use our products, check our guide HERE.
