Certified by the same National Organic Program that certifies food, Dr Bronner\'s Organic Shikakai Lavender Hand & Body Soap is smooth and luxurious with no synthetic detergents. Organic Shikakai comes from the seed pods of the small South Asian tree Acadia Concinna and has been used for millennia in India as a gentle conditioning cleanser for both skin and hair. Dr Bronner extracts the Shikakai in organic sugar and grape juice and combines with Dr. Bronner\'s unsurpassed castile soap base for rich emollient lather and moisturising afterfeel. Dr Bronner\'s is a PETA certified cruelty-free brand; they do not test any of their products on animals.
