Best Natural Personal Care Line: Dr. Bronner's

Now celebrating its 60th anniversary and five generations of family business, Dr. Bronners continues to expand beyond its crunchy, counterculture base. There are new products and some updated packaging, but Dr. Bronners has retained its quirky originality and insistence on purity. A new line is both fair trade and certified under the USDA's National Organic Program. Significantly, the company continues to lead a push for standardizing strict organic standards for the body care industry. Available at many retail outlets, and at amazon.com
