Saponified Oils of Coconut, Olive, and Castor; Soapberry Powder. Made with Organic Ingredients.
❶ Place your soap on a well-draining dish with proper airflow before wetting your brush. Use gentle, circular motions to create a rich lather. Light pressure ensures longevity for both your brush and soap.
❷ Scrub your dishes the way you normally do, and rinse them with steaming hot water. Make sure to rinse off all the suds, they're the ones catching all the grease and food crumbs for you. Rinse, rinse, rinse!
❸ After you've finished all your washing up, rinse your cloth/brush/sponge and shake/squeeze it out. Put it somewhere to dry thoroughly (not on top of your soap!). Flip your Solid Dish Soap to a new side every couple of uses for even wear. Make sure no "bowl" is forming, which will trap moisture and reduce the life of your soap. This is the most important tip to follow to get the most out of your purchase!

Frequently Asked Questions
One bar of Solid Dish Soap lasts for an average of 3-6 months, with some customers reporting theirs lasting up to a year. Individual results vary depending on the size of your household, how many of your dishes have to be hand washed, and how evenly you wear out the soap. Using a dish with excellent drainage, and flipping the bar to a new side every couple of uses will dramatically increase the life of your Solid Dish Soap!
Yes! We use Soapberry powder (a natural detergent) to create the beautiful speckles. They are sometimes called Soapnuts, but are actually a berry. They're in the Lychee family, and fully safe for anyone with a nut allergy.
Unfortunately, we aren't able to make a coconut-free Solid Dish Soap. Coconut oil is a vital ingredients for creating a long-lasting soap with high cleansing properties and great lather. Our apologies! We wish we had a coconut-free option for you.
Yes! Simply stop up your sink, and run warm/hot water as usual. Hold a side of the soap under the faucet, and build up a lather using your hand or a brush. The bubbles will flow into the water and give you all the suds you need. Please note this will shorten the life of your bar.
We worked really hard to formulate our solid dish soap in such a way that it doesn't leave a strange film on all your dishes! If you have hard water like we do, you know that even plain water can leave spots on your glassware. If there's anything we want to be totally spotless, we rinse in super hot water and dry promptly.
If for any reason you experience "grease spreading around", the solution is simple. Scrub a little longer with your soapy lather, and rinse more thoroughly with hotter water.
In our side-by-side comparisons, we've found our Solid Dish Soap to be completely on-par with Dawn in terms of grease-cutting. But if you need the convenience of a squeeze bottle for mobility reasons, or any other reason, you'll get zero judgement from us! We like to keep both types of soap on hand for different applications.
Remember: a soap molecule kind of looks like a tadpole and has two ends - the head is hydrophilic and the tail is hydrophobic, and it binds with the grease and oil to carry it away. If we don’t rinse thoroughly enough with hot water, we can accidentally smear those molecules around, which spreads all the grime that the soap has picked up for you.
If you want the full grease-cutting power our Solid Dish Soap can provide, just remember to follow the usage instructions and you'll be golden!
No! This was one of the most important factors for us when developing Solid Dish Soap. We both have extremely sensitive skin (Hyper-mobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome makes our skin super fragile), and only a small countertop dishwasher. We spend a lot of time handwashing at the sink, and our soap is very friendly to easily-irritated skin. We attribute that to our specific blend of oils!
Yep! We have very hard water as well.
Yes! It is biodegradable, phosphate-free, and made without the use of synthetic colorants or fragrances. It is septic-safe.
No, there is no scent transfer. We use enough essential oils to make the dishwashing experience enjoyable, but not so much that the scent latches onto your dishes.
Handmade With Integrity
We believe sustainability should feel like an upgrade. Our formulas are rigorously tested, small-batch made, and proven to outperform their plastic-laden counterparts.
