Dr. Woods: A Story of Family, Community, and Doing What's Right

At the heart of Dr. Woods lies a lifetime commitment to family, community, and ethical business practices. This brand was first conceived by Van Woods, the son of Sylvia Woods, the founder of the renowned Sylvia's Restaurant in New York City, and his long-time friend and business partner, Gary Greenhouse.

Starting with their flagship product, the Black Soap, Dr. Woods' vision was to create high-quality skin care products sourced from around the world but made right here in the United States. These are products made by a small company that genuinely cares about what they offer to their customers – natural products of the highest quality at an affordable price.

"All Things Good" is more than just a slogan for Dr. Woods; it defines the core of their business philosophy. From the carefully selected ingredients to the sustainable and cruelty-free production methods, every aspect of the company's operations is guided by a promise to provide safe, natural, and effective products that are good for you and the environment.

The Dr. Woods product family, much like the company's own extended family, has grown over the years, branching out to include a diverse range of cleansers, soaps, and personal care items. But the underlying commitment remains the same: to use only the best natural ingredients, to support small farmers and producers around the world, and to create products that work and are affordable for families.

Certified cruelty-free and free from harmful chemicals, the Dr. Woods line includes vegan soaps, liquid castile soaps, and face cleansers – all formulated to nourish and rejuvenate skin, regardless of type or age. The brand's flagship Black Soap, derived from the plantain plant, is a unique all-vegetable soap that gently exfoliates while providing essential vitamins and antioxidants.

Beyond just creating exceptional products, Dr. Woods is dedicated to giving back to the community. The company supports various family and education-focused organizations, committed to making a positive impact on the lives of those in need. This commitment to social responsibility is a testament to the brand's deep-rooted values and its desire to be a force for good in the world.

Welcome to the Dr. Woods family – a story of family, community, and doing what's right, one exceptional natural product at a time.
