I have used this soap as shaving cream for years. Nice and foamy without added chemicals.

i laughed the second time I read the story.

In all seriousness I respect a culture that humanizes capitalism:
“In this obscenely scam-ridden day and age, it is reasonable to assume that anyone sermonizing like this in the realm of business is one false step away from being exposed as a charlatan. But the Bronners genuinely do seem to, in the parlance of thought-leadership conferences, walk the walk. The combination of Christian clemency and drug-induced ego surrender is potent. The executives, despite ranging from the conservative to the progressive, have all agreed to cap their own executive salaries at five times the lowest-paid fully vested Dr. Bronner’s employees, which means they cannot earn more than about $300,000 per year. It’s a policy that frees up funds for a waterfall of annual charitable donations and, more importantly, an enviable company culture for its over 300 workers. Dr. Bronner’s boasts the sort of employee benefits that would make Bezos shudder, including a health-insurance policy with company-paid premiums, bonuses, free daily vegan lunches prepared by the Foamy Homies”

They make high-quality products. Their “Sal Suds” can clean just about anything around the house, without tons of needless toxic chemicals.

Based on the $300,000 salary cap and 300 employees, their lowest paid employees earn $60,000 a year, not too shabby if they live in Vista CA where the current average household income $80,000
