You have probably seen the Dr Bronner's soaps brand at Whole Foods or a local health store, but you probably didn't know the amazing story behind the brand. Dr. Bronner's company was founded in 1948 by Emanuel Bronner, a third- generation master soapmaker from a German-Jewish soapmaking family. He continued soapmaking in Germany during the war until the Nazis took over, nationalized his family's soap factory and then sent his parents to Auschwitz where they died. Dr Bronner eventually went to a mental institution and received shock treatments. He later escaped and went to the USA, where his clean ingredient brand became iconic in the 1960s by using global unity messages on his soaps like We are All-One or None! Today, the company is still family-owned and run, and they continue to make socially & environmentally responsible products of the highest quality, and give some of their profits to great charitable causes. Dr Bronner's products have organic and fair trade ingredients, most of which are vegan and certified to the same organic standards as food. There are no synthetic preservatives or foaming agents. Today, Dr Bronner's children run the company and sell products for the body, hair, face, mouth, teeth, food, dishes, laundry, mopping and pets.
According to research, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a safe cleaning agent that is frequently added to household cleaning products [1].
In terms of coco-betaine, the only research available pertains to the safety of using cocamidopropyl betaine in cleaning products, although it is not the same as coco-betaine [2]. Coco-betaine is derived from coconut oil.
According to research, decyl glucoside has the highest frequency of use in cosmetics and cleaning products due to its grease (oil)-fighting properties [3].
All-purpose cleaner (Home/Car/Office) [1-3]
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is an anionic surfactant that is also known as sodium laurilsulfate or sodium dodecyl sulfate. It is commonly used as an emulsifying cleaning agent in spray cleaners, laundry detergents, and dishwasher detergents [1]. In addition, SLS is nonvolatile and water-soluble [1].
In terms of coco-betaine, the only research available pertains to the safety of using cocamidopropyl betaine, which is a zwitterionic ammonium compound used primarily as an amphoteric surfactant in cleaning products [2]. However, it is not the same as coco-betaine [2]. Coco-betaine is a monoalkyl-amine derived from coconut oil.
Decyl glucoside is typically soluble in both aqueous and organic solutions, and it has the highest rinse-off rate in comparison to other alkyl glucosides [3].
