In 1948, Dr. E.H. Bronner introduced his all natural and organic soaps to North America. By the 1960’s, these products could be found in just about every health food store in the United States. Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps have been an iconic brand for 5 generations, and the company’s branding has always centered around that heritage. In the brand’s recent relabeling, maintaining that Old World image was key.
According to company president David Bronner, it was important to maintain the company’s heritage and honor the legacies of his father, grandfather, and uncle. The new product labels include a pledge that summarizes his grandfather’s philosophy, as well as the company’s mission and purpose.
“In all that we do let us be generous, fair, & loving to Spaceship Earth and all its inhabitants. For we’re all-one or none! All-one!”
