So, how is Dr. Bronner’s helping? By investing in Relief Pads, reusable pads that are manufactured in India. These are distributed to women through schools and farming communities, and this is supported with an education programme to help lift the stigma and taboo around menstruation. These pads are revolutionary for many women; high quality fabric that is both absorbent and anti-microbial, they reduce the risk of infections and give women more personal freedom. They are washable and very economical. The initial programme has been hugely successful, and the work continues!

One of the key challenges for farmers in the region is the deterioration in the quality of the soil due to industrial agricultural practices. Unfortunately, after decades of intensive cultivation that previously included the use of chemical fertilisers and frequent ploughing, the soil had been depleted of nutrients (notably organic matter), which reduces the fertility of the soil. Since its formation in 2015, the project has also made great strides in community development. In addition to agricultural projects, such as vermicompost pits, Pavitramenthe has facilitated and funded medical camps, the construction of home toilets and the distribution of water coolers for drinking water. These projects were paid for by the fair trade premium received from Dr. Bronner’s, the project’s primary buyer of organic mint oil.

There wouldn’t be a Dr. Bronner’s today without our Peppermint soap, and there wouldn’t be Peppermint soap if it wasn’t for our partners in India making the organic Peppermint oil that goes into it.” Michael Bronner – President of Dr. Bronner’s As part of the partnership with Pavitramenthe, we have been working with the community on special projects, funded by the Fair Trade premium from the sale of mint oil. Projects are selected by a local committee, to ensure that they make real social change, such as: funding medical camps, the construction of home toilets, the distribution of water coolers for drinking waters, subsidising compost production and more. Completely depends upon water amount, but roughly 2 Tbsp. soap in an average sized tub. (Doesn’t bubble, but still cleans). Michael Bronner, President of Dr. Bronner’s, explains the magic behind the scent, “ My grandfather always seemed to have the smell of peppermint radiating from his pores. He started making peppermint soap in small batches at home and he really wanted to make something that was more than a soap, but also a sensory experience… My grandfather put his philosophy on the bottle of soap and what this generation is doing is taking that message off the bottle and applying it wherever we can.”We began purchasing organic mint oil India’s Uttar Pradesh state, in 2003. After working with other suppliers, it began, in 2015, its relationship with Pavitramenthe in Bareilly, around 250 miles east of Delhi. Both share a vision of regenerative and fair farming in rural India and of using it for development. In its soaps, we use a blend of oils from two mint species, peppermint (mentha piperita) and corn mint (mentha arvensis); this blend perfectly balances the ‘menthol punch’ of the mentha arvensis and the more aromatic flavour of the mentha piperita. Both species are now grown by some 2000 smallholder farmers. Their small fields, typically less than two acres, are farmed in rotation, growing two or three different crops every year.
