Dr. Bronner in Berlin
The company’s roots lie in the Swabian town of Laupheim, near Ulm. This is where the founder of Dr. Bronner’s set up its first soap factory in 1858. From the start, Dr. Bronner’s soaps stood out for their quality and environmental friendliness. Because of their high quality, they are ideal for allergy-sufferers and sensitive skin. Thanks to their velvety lather that refreshes the skin and makes it silky smooth, they not only cleanse effectively but also provide the skin with the perfect basis for regenerating. And they have their only Flagship store in Berlin!!!
