Beyond the Bar: Unexpected Ways to Use Your Natural Soap

Beyond the Bar: Unexpected Ways to Use Your Natural Soap

When you think of soap, you probably picture washing your hands or using it in the shower. But our handcrafted natural soaps at Essence & Light, made with pure plant-based ingredients, offer so much more versatility! From gentle cleansing to surprising household hacks, let's explore some unexpected and delightful ways to use your favorite bar.

Gentle Makeup Brush Cleaner:

Did you know your natural soap can be a fantastic and gentle cleanser for your makeup brushes? Wet your brush and swirl it gently over the soap, creating a lather. Rinse thoroughly under warm water until the water runs clear, and lay flat to dry. The natural oils in our soaps can help break down makeup residue without harsh chemicals that can damage your brushes.

DIY Laundry Stain Remover:

Got a stubborn stain on your favorite shirt? Before tossing it in the wash, try rubbing a damp corner of your natural soap directly onto the stain. Let it sit for a few minutes, then wash as usual. The gentle yet effective cleansing properties of our plant-based soaps can often lift everyday stains.

Soothing Shaving Cream:

For a natural and moisturizing shave, lather up your natural soap with a bit of water and apply it to the area you want to shave. The creamy lather provides a smooth surface for your razor, and the nourishing oils help to prevent dryness and irritation.

Drawer and Linen Freshener:

Place a fragrant bar of our natural soap in a drawer or linen closet to subtly scent your clothes and linens. The natural aromas will gently infuse your fabrics with a fresh and clean scent without the need for chemical-laden sachets.

Unsticking Zippers:

A little trick for a stuck zipper: gently rub a dry bar of natural soap along the teeth of the zipper. The natural oils can help lubricate the metal and get it moving again.

Gentle Plant Leaf Cleaner:

For houseplants with dusty leaves, create a very mild soapy water solution using a small amount of our natural soap. Gently wipe the leaves with a soft cloth dampened in the solution, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. This can help remove dust and keep your plants looking their best.

A Little Bit Goes a Long Way:

Because our natural soaps are made with concentrated plant-based ingredients, a little goes a long way for these unexpected uses. You're not just buying a hand and body wash; you're investing in a versatile and natural product for various needs around your home.
