Solid Dish Soap with Coconut Oil

Prep Your Tools: Slightly moisten your washable sponge or dish brush.

Apply the Soap: Rub your sponge or brush against the soap to create a light lather. A small amount is sufficient for effective cleaning and degreasing.

Wash Your Dishes: Clean your dishes as usual. To save water and energy, wash your dishes in a basin or a small amount of water rather than under running tap water.

Rinse: Rinse your dishes and the soap with clear water.

For Large Loads: If you have a lot of dishes to clean, use a dishwasher, which consumes less water. For this, consider CA dishwashing powder with Camargue salt.

Dosage
1-3 pumps. The product is very rich, because there are no fillers, additives or water
in the product - a small amount at a time is enough.

Use-by 
recommended to use within 6 months after manufacturing.

Saponified Coconut Oil: Produced through cold saponification of our organic coconut oil with caustic soda, saponified coconut oil is, in our view, the best detergent for dish soap.
- Origin: Philippines or Sri Lanka, certified organic, and free from animal exploitation.

Glycerin: Naturally derived from coconut oil, glycerin is produced during the saponification process. This natural, plant-based ingredient helps to soften and dissolve stains while being gentle on sensitive skin.

Sodium Bicarbonate: This natural mineral powder has various cleaning properties. In our solid dish soap, it provides effective cleansing and degreasing action.
- Origin: France, COSMOS certified.

Here are some controversial ingredients often found in conventional dishwashing liquids and soaps:

- Allergenic Preservatives: Methylisothiazolinone and Benzisothiazolinone are commonly used preservatives in many household products. They are known allergens that can cause irritation or eczema.

- Colorants: Colorants are not essential in cleaning products. Many colorants are not biodegradable and can contribute to water pollution.

- Fragrances: While fragrances add a pleasant scent to your dishes, they are highly polluting and non-biodegradable. Often, the scent is fleeting and does not last long.

CA dish soap is fully biodegradable and certified Ecodétergent by Ecocert. It is free from plastics, essential oils, and palm oil, and is packaged in fully recyclable materials. We use a cardboard box made in France and certified PEFC, sourced from sustainably managed forests.

Features:

- Natural Origin: Ensures minimal environmental impact with a design tailored for a zero-waste lifestyle.

- Packaging: The soap comes in a recyclable cardboard box, avoiding the use of plastic and supporting sustainable forestry.

Under proper storage conditions—using a soap dish that allows water to drain—you can replace over 1 liter of conventional liquid dish soap with this eco-friendly alternative.

Will Using the Soap Clog Pipes?
Our solid dish soap is formulated to prevent clogs. The saponified coconut oil and the small amount of glycerin (about 1% superfat) ensure that there’s no risk of blocking your pipes.

Is Your Coconut Oil Certified?
Yes, the coconut oil we use is certified organic and harvested without animal intervention.

Can I Use It to Clean Baby Bottles?
Absolutely! CA dish soap is perfect for cleaning baby bottles. It is free from fragrances, allergens, and controversial substances, ensuring a thorough and safe clean.

What Should I Do When the Soap Becomes Too Small?
As your soap diminishes with use, you can either attach the small pieces to a new block or place them in a soap saver bag. Then, simply rub the bag against your sponge to use up the remaining soap.

Sophie and Nil, along with their two sons, Nael and Joan, started their journey toward a healthier lifestyle when Sophie became pregnant with Nael. Concerned about the impact of synthetic chemicals on their health and the environment, they searched for more natural alternatives. After Nael experienced skin irritations from commercial products, they began making their own soap from organic olive oil.

Their homemade soap was a success, inspiring them to launch **Comme Avant** in 2013. The family business now offers a range of simple, natural cosmetics and household products, certified organic and eco-friendly. Over time, their team grew, bringing in family and friends who share their values.

They manufacture all their products in their own workshop, certified "Origine France Garantie." They follow a philosophy of "less and better," reducing waste and improving their products based on customer feedback.

With transparency and fairness at the heart of their business, they publicly share salaries, follow a horizontal management structure, and invest in philanthropic projects to protect biodiversity. Although they remain a small family company, **Comme Avant** continues to grow while staying true to their ecological and ethical principles.
