I'm gonna keep this one short and
sweet, folks - it's product flogging time: Specifically Dr Bronner's organic
body care.
I discovered Dr Bronner's range of organic soaps - solid and liquid - in New York earlier this year. Our West-Village apartment host had a large bottle of Dr Bronner's peppermint scented bodywash
for his guests' use, claiming 'it's an invigorating start to the day'. Yes,
indeedy, it most certainly was - the peppermint scent lingered in our nostrils (and
other body parts, ahem) for hours afterwards.
Sol Trayne, a member of my
Pennsylvanian Posse, is also a big fan of Dr Bronner's, preferring the
almond-scented varieties. I'd have brought some home with me but worried it
might leak in my luggage...
Biodegradable and veggie-based
before it was trendy, this stuff pre-dates most other organic, hippy-dippy body
care. Emanuel Bronner (descended from soap manufacturers) started making this
stuff decades ago, and his heirs are keeping it going - and going strong.
Don't let the weird
quasi-religious, philosophical, over-punctuated, semi-Apocalyptic ramblings on the packaging put you off. Dr Bronner was an eccentric (if wanting world peace
makes you an eccentric), and you can read more about his creation and his legacy on the interwebs if you're interested.
In the meantime, do your bit for
world peace - get down to your local health food shop and grab a bottle or cake
of Dr Bronner's lathery goodness. Health food shops in Camberwell, Melbourne CBD should stock it. or try this http://www.drbronner.com.au/stockists.html
