Dr. Bronner's was founded in the United States in 1948 by Emanuel Bronner, a German-Jewish immigrant. It started as a family-run soap maker and is now distributed in 40 countries worldwide. What's remarkable is that all of their products are organic. They use no synthetic additives such as petroleum-based surfactants, synthetic preservatives, or synthetic fragrances. Instead, they use 100% natural ingredients, and all items feature a simple formula using organic plant-based raw materials. Furthermore, they are highly biodegradable, and the wastewater returns to nature, making them popular with sea and mountain leisure enthusiasts. The recipe and company philosophy have remained unchanged since its founding, and they have maintained independent management. That's why they are so well-regarded worldwide. I used this product during my time abroad. It is said to have 12 uses, and you can basically use it for everything, including face wash, hand soap, body soap, diluted dish soap, and house cleaning. It can also be used as a dog shampoo, making it efficient and ideal for pets with sensitive skin. Please see the website for details. This is the lavender fragrance. The gentle, natural scent is pleasant. I purchased this in April. Stored at home. The label has some creasing from the time of purchase. The contents are not affected. I would appreciate it if those who don't mind this would be interested. No price reduction.
