This cult-favourite soap brand has a loyal following across the US, and more Canadian shoppers are looking for ways to shop Dr. Bronner's from Canada. But how can they do it?

This blog will discuss what Dr. Bronner's is, a few guides to the brand, deals when shopping for your top picks, and how to get them delivered to Canada at a reasonable rate.

Knowing Dr. Bronner's

Founded in 1948, Dr. Bronner's is a family-run soap and personal care company based in Vista, California. The brand built its reputation on Pure-Castile Soap. It's a plant-based, biodegradable soap sold in bottles famously covered in philosophical messages from founder Emanuel Bronner.

Today, the company is also famous for many other things. Among them is its use of certified organic, fair-trade ingredients. Their products also skip synthetic detergents, dyes, and foaming agents. It has grown from a single soap into a full range of personal care, hair care, and oral care items.

All of these were built around the same "All-One" ethos of simple, honest ingredients.

What Do They Offer

The brand's product range goes well beyond the classic bar of soap. Here's a closer look at what Canadian shoppers can stock up on:

Pure Castile Soaps (Liquid & Bar)

This product is where it all started, and it's still the core of the brand. The Pure Castile Soaps come in two forms: liquid and bar.

Both the Pure Castile Liquid Soap and the Pure Castile Bar Soap double as body wash, shampoo, sanitizer, and household cleaner. They come in many different scents, including Lavender, Tea Tree, and Almond. They also offer an unscented version for those with babies or who prefer a mild fragrance.

Their bestseller, however, is the 18-in-1 Pure Castile Liquid Soap in Peppermint. It's a shopper's pick because of its cooling tingle and long list of uses.

Personal Care

Beyond soap, the brand also makes organic lotions, lip balms, and its well-loved Organic Magic Balm. The latter is a thick, multi-purpose balm for dry hands, cracked heels, and everything in between. It's also consistently one of the brand's top sellers, prized for how far a small tin goes.

If you're thinking of buying one, we highly recommend it, especially during Canada's colder seasons. It locks in moisture and combats winter skin irritation.

Hair Care

As mentioned, the soaps already double as a natural shampoo alternative. However, you can improve your hair care routine by pairing them with the brand's special conditioning rinse. Peppermint and Tea Tree are top choices because they refresh the scalp.

Oral Care

The All-One Toothpaste rounds out the lineup. Like the rest of the brand's products, it's also made with organic ingredients and free from artificial sweeteners, foaming agents, and dyes. The Peppermint flavour is the bestselling option. It's a go-to for shoppers switching to a more natural oral care routine.

Are Dr. Bronner's Products Available in Canada?

You can find a handful of Dr. Bronner's products through a small number of Canadian online retailers, including Vegan Supply and Village Vitamin Store. Some independent Canadian health food stores carry a limited selection, too. That said, you will find only a handful of scents and sizes, mainly the liquid soap.

The prices also often run higher than what you'd pay when shopping directly in the US, even with shipping fees added.

For shoppers who want the full range of scents, sizes, and product lines, US retailers offer far more choice. Outside the brand's official website, you can also buy them from Amazon US, Walmart, and Target.

Do They Ship to Canada?

This is where things get tricky. The brand doesn't ship directly to Canada, and many US retailers charge high shipping fees (plus taxes and duties). But don't worry, a package forwarding service can fill in the gap.

With a package forwarder like Shippsy, you can easily shop at Dr. Bronner's or any US retailer.

Here's how it works:

1. Sign up for a free Shippsy account. Create an account, and once done, you will receive a free US shipping address. Use it every time you shop at drbronner.com or any US retailer you want to buy from.
   
   
2. Shop like you're in the US. Add your favourite scents, sizes, and product lines to your cart. Then, check out using your Shippsy US address instead of a Canadian one. Don't forget to copy the address as is to avoid any issues.
   
   
3. Let Shippsy handle the rest. Once your order arrives at the US address, Shippsy consolidates, completes customs documentation, and forwards it to Canada. Then, you can pick up the package at the nearest branch or have it delivered to your doorstep for a minimal additional fee.

Enjoying Dr. Bronner's: Tips & Guides

Once your order arrives, there's a bit of a learning curve to using the products as intended. Here are a few resources worth exploring:

All-One Blog

The brand runs its own blog page covering everything from sustainability initiatives to ingredient deep dives and company history. It's a great place to start if you want to learn the brand's values beyond the soap bottle.

Castile Soap 101

If you're new to Castile soap, this is the place to learn proper dilution ratios. The brand's soap is concentrated, and you have to dilute it first for most uses, from dishwashing and floor cleaning to body wash.

Sal Suds 101

Sal Suds is the brand's biodegradable household cleaner, separate from the castile soap line. A guide to Sal Suds covers how it differs from Castile soap and the best ways to use it around the house.

Toothpaste 101

Tips When Buying Dr. Bronner's from Canada

Getting your order across the border doesn't have to cost full price. Here are a few ways to save:

• Watch for site-wide sales. Drbronner.com and major US retailers like Vitamin Shoppe and Target run seasonal promotions. These are when bundle discounts tend to be deepest.
  
  
• Buy the bigger sizes. Pure-Castile Liquid Soap and Sal Suds both come in large-format bottles (32 oz, 64 oz, even gallon jugs). When you calculate the cost per ounce, it's much cheaper to buy the larger bottles than the smaller ones. So, buying in bulk also pays off if you use these products regularly.
  
  
• Stack orders in one shipment. Many package forwarders charge based on package weight and size. So, ordering multiple products at once and combining them altogether into a single shipment stretches your shipping dollars further than several small orders.
  
  
• Sign up for brand and retailer emails. The website and many other US retailers send subscriber-only discount codes and early access to sales.
  
  
• Check for multi-buy and bundle deals. Dr. Bronner's frequently offers bundle pricing on gift sets and variety packs. This can work out cheaper per bottle than buying scents individually.
  
  
• Compare retailers before you buy. Pricing on Dr. Bronner's products can vary across drbronner.com and other websites. So, a quick price check before checkout can reveal meaningful savings.
