Branch Basics is a small, women-owned company making ultra-concentrated, plant-and-mineral-based cleaners that tackle laundry, dishes, bathrooms, and even your face with just one bottle and water – think of it as the Swiss Army knife of non-toxic suds. Started by three Texas gals (two aunts and a niece) who got fed up with mystery chemicals making them sick, they ditched the corporate ladder to create a single oxygen-boosted formula that replaces an entire aisle of rainbow-colored bottles. Their “Concentrate” is so pure you can literally drink a diluted drop (but we don' t recommend chugging it).

Branch Basics stays gloriously anti-woke by skipping the DEI circus, ESG guilt trips, and any rainbow-washed Pride campaigns that turn soap into a soapbox – no BLM hashtags, no “inclusion training” for the dish soap, just straightforward, fragrance-free cleaning without the social sermon. Interestingly, in a world where every brand needs a “values statement” longer than a CVS receipt, they’ve managed to keep their mouth shut on politics and let the ingredients do the talking. Poke: Why slap a virtue label on your laundry detergent when Branch Basics proves you can get clothes clean without cleaning out your worldview?

Companies To Avoid

Done bankrolling the woke circus? Steer clear of these companies that prioritize hashtags and virtue signaling over their customers. They’re more interested in preaching than delivering products you actually want.
