Description:
Certified organic to USDA National Organic Program standards, Dr. Bronner's Fair Trade & Organic Pump Soaps are smooth and luxurious with no synthetic detergents or preservatives. Organic shikakai comes from the seed pods of the small South Asian tree Acadia Concinna and has been used for millennia in India as a gentle conditioning cleanser for both skin and hair. We extract the organic shikakai in organic sugar and organic grape juice and combine it with our unsurpassed pure-castile liquid soap base for a rich, emollient lather and a moisturizing after feel.
More Details:
Our Fair Trade & Organic Pump Soaps are excellent for washing hands and face, and they come in a convenient pump for placing on your bathroom sink or in the shower. The organic shikakai powder and organic sucrose in our Pump Soaps not only make them great facial cleansers, but also perfect shampoos. When using any of our soaps to wash your hair, make sure you follow up with an acidic conditioning rinse, such as our own Fair Trade & Organic Citrus Conditioning Hair Rinse.
