Company president David Bronner, Ralph's nephew, agreed to come on board only if he could clean up the product ingredients. "My father was not a saint," Ralph admitted. "I'll go to my grave not knowing how somebody sucked him into synthetic rose scent in a bottle of rose oil that said it was completely natural.
