✓ USDA Organic: Dr. Bronner’s products are certified organic according to the USDA’s National Organic Program (NOP) standards—the same standards consumers rely on to certify their organic foods. Products with over 95% organic ingredients carry the USDA label on the front, while our castile soaps (over 90% organic) carry the statement “Made with Organic Oils.”
✓ Oregon Tilth Certified Organic: Oregon Tilth Organic Certifier is a nonprofit organization that promotes biologically sound and socially equitable agriculture.
✓ Fair for Life: Our key ingredients are certified fair trade under the Fair for Life Certification Program, which verifies that ethical working conditions and fair pricing are provided throughout our supply chain. Dr. Bronner's was the first company to establish certified fair trade supply chains for coconut oil and palm oil.
✓ NSF: Personal care products that contain organic ingredients. Dr. Bronner's All-One Toothpaste is certified to NSF/ANSI 305 standards, meaning it contains at least 70 percent certified organic ingredients, but does not meet NOP's food-focused requirements due to the processes and methods used in the production of the body care.

✓ Vegan Action: Vegan Action certifies that our vegan products do not contain any animal products or by-products, and that no animal products are used in the manufacturing process. Only a few of our products are not vegan: our lip balms and body balms contain beeswax, and our facial toners (sold in Japan and Korea) contain honey.
