Zero waste swaps - why you should try solid dish soap
Zero waste living sounds intense but really, it's just a way of reducing your impact on the environment. The zero-waste movement aims to reduce our reliance on throwaway items by finding better alternatives. This helps to create a circular economy closer to what we see in nature. Everything gets broken down and is used again.
One of the best ways to reduce your impact on the environment is to switch to solid dish soap. Instead of squirting liquid soap into the sink from a plastic bottle, you can now lather up using a special bar of soap, made especially for degreasing and cleaning everything from glassware to frying pans.
Dish Magic is the perfect zero-waste alternative to liquid dish soap. It contains no plastic and is plant-based, biodegradable and has minimal ingredients. It's not just soap; it's a dish-washing, grease-cutting miracle.
Our dish soap is plant-based, free from synthetics and grey water safe. It's all-natural, all the time. And what's more, it's the perfect zero-waste alternative to liquid dish soap. With mandarin essential oil and organic coffee for extra scrub, your nose will be treated to a much more pleasant scent than a chemically lemon or pine.
If you're not already using dish soap, you're missing out on a real zero-waste kitchen secret. It's simple to get started. We even have a starter pack that contains solid dish soap, a compostable and biodegradable scrubber and a wooden soap dish.
There's no special equipment needed. We've kept it simple because where there's barriers to switching to more eco-friendly products, that's when people often delay switching. But seriously, it's just too easy to switch to something more sustainable.

Zero waste living has five pillars or principles: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Compost and Recycle. Yes, recycling is last because unfortunately, much of the recyclable waste that's produced doesn't get recycled.
When enough of us refuse to purchase overpackaged or unnecessarily packaged goods, the demand drops and manufacturers are forced to innovate. Recycling alone doesn't tackle the production problem (source).
This is my gift to myself for Mother’s Day and I cannot explain the joy it brings. From the way it looks, feels and all it represents… it’s a must have for all women. Thank you for gifting us such a meaningful way to celebrate ourselves and each other. 🤍
I bought based on the name- Love Witch Sea Soap- sounded like the soap for me 😍. And then to my great surprise it has been amazing on my very acne prone skin ( in my 50’s ). So I will be a returning customer 🤩
The coffee scent of this soap is so nice and soft on the hands as well as the body. It is difficult to choose soaps for others as I would like them all myself. All the soaps look so good and the scent is amazing. I will be putting in another order soon for myself and for gifts
The brimstone soap is for my daughter as part of her birthday present as she purchased some for me for my birthday a few months ago. I love using it and am now getting it for gifts for others so they can experience it too. Thank you Soap Cult Australia
This is my second sampler of "misfit" soaps (but they're not misfit really!) and I couldn't be happier with it. This is a brilliant way for me to try scents and textures that I might have skipped over the descriptions of on the website. Things I didn't know I'd fall in love with. All the soaps have a luxe feel and high quality fragrance, so rolling the dice with selection is super rewarding. Thank you!
My soaps arrived in a nice drawstring bag. It was difficult to tell why they were misfits! They smelt lovely and I'm currently using the first one, which is smooth and silky on the skin.
