Solid Dish Soap Starter Set (6 oz)

Everything you need. Nothing to figure out.

Switching to solid dish soap sounds simple until you're standing in an aisle wondering if the bar needs a special dish, whether it'll just turn to mush by the sink, and what kind of brush actually works with it. This dish soap starter set answers all three questions by including them: a bar, a ceramic dish, and a bamboo brush.

The bar cuts grease and replaces 2 to 3 plastic bottles. The dish keeps it dry between uses, which is what actually makes a bar last. The brush works stuck-on food loose without scratching your pans. No separate research required.

What's inside

• Solid dish soap bar, 6oz
• Ceramic soap dish
• Bamboo dish brush

What's in the bar

Coconut Oil - the workhorse of the formula. This is what actually cuts grease.

Olive Oil - conditions your hands so they don't end up drier than the dishes.

Castor Oil - builds a rich, stable lather that holds up through a full sink.

Stearic Acid - a plant-derived hardener. Keeps the bar dense instead of mushy.

Citric Acid - balances pH and helps it lather even with hard water.

Essential Oils - the only fragrance in scented varieties. Nothing synthetic.

Full INCI: Sodium Cocoate, Aqua, Sodium Olivate, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Castorate, Citric Acid, essential oils (scented varieties only).

Choose your scent

Citrus - bright and sharp, bergamot's citrus edge lifted with a touch of may chang. Clean, not sweet.

Lemon Basil - lemony and green, litsea cubeba's brightness grounded by a whisper of basil. Reads like a kitchen herb garden.

Lemongrass Eucalyptus - grassy and citrus-sharp up front, eucalyptus cools it down on the finish.

Lavender - classic lavender softened with bergamot and a trace of pine. Calming without going floral-heavy.

Eucalyptus & Mint - cool and clarifying, eucalyptus leads with peppermint sharpening the finish. Wakes up a sink full of dishes.

Lemon Rosemary - lemon-forward and bright, rosemary and lemongrass add an herbal backbone underneath.

Unscented - no essential oils added. Just the bar.

Care

Store the bar on the ceramic dish and keep it dry between uses. Rinse the dish periodically, it's dishwasher safe. Rinse the brush after each use and store bristle side down to drain. Don't run the brush through the dishwasher, replace it once the bristles splay.
