What is solid dish soap

Il solid dish detergent it is an ecological and sustainable alternative to traditional liquid dish detergent, because it saves a considerable amount of plastic bottles and respects the health of the planet and ours more. In fact, each stick of detergent allows you to eliminate two one-liter plastic bottles.

The appearance of solid dish detergent is very similar to that of a normal bar of soap but it is not always formulated like a soap. In fact, some companies offer dish soaps, prepared by reacting vegetable oils with caustic soda, while in other cases it is a dish detergent formulated with solid surfactants, identical to a traditional dish detergent but free of water.

The absence of water has several advantages. First of all, solid dish detergent allows you to completely discard the plastic bottles which, in addition to cluttering up, represent waste that is potentially harmful to the environment.

Secondly, since the detergent does not contain water, it does not need preservatives and this makes solid dish detergent even more ecological and healthier for the environment but also for our health, since it reduces exposure to substances that could be dangerous.

Finally, the lack of water causes the detergent to take up less space during transport and storage and this also means less impact on traffic.



Solid dish detergent generally contains only natural, biodegradable and plant-based ingredients, derived from olive oil or coconut oil, and is scented with essential oils or other natural substances, such as vinegar or coffee.
