Practical and ecological, solid cosmetics are more and more talked about.
The particularity of a solid cosmetic is that it contains no water in its composition , hence its solid appearance. And without water, no need for preservatives! Water is indeed a fairly complex ingredient that deteriorates over time and requires the presence of chemical agents that prevent it from degrading. The lifespan of solid care or cosmetics is therefore extended thanks to the absence of water. And what is in the composition of solid products? Often healthy products of vegetable or natural origin such as vegetable oils, powders, vegetable butters, clays, essential oils , … Using a solid cosmetic is not complicated, just moisten the area concerned before gently rubbing the product on the moistened area. Once we got the hang of it and adopted them, they never left our bathroom!
Solid shampoos and conditioners can take varied and original shapes, pebbles, bars, geometric shapes, flowers, … they can be found in all shapes. The variety of formulas makes it possible to meet different needs, problems and types of hair:there are anti-dandruff formulas , care for normal, dry or oily, curly, colored, frizzy, fine or wavy hair, … the formulas know how to adapt. Prefer natural solid shampoos , they will respect your scalp more and pamper your lengths. The foaming agents of natural solid shampoos often contain plant extracts, protective oils or vegetable butter , only components that will please your hair! If you choose a solid shampoo, don't forget to also opt for a solid, nourishing or detangling conditioner, it will make your lengths silky and strengthen your hair. The natural and green hair routine is yours !
To care for your solid shampoo and conditioner, let them air dry before storing them in their box. To avoid damaging your hair and scalp, remember to space out your shampoos as much as possible.
organic and natural solid soaps can be used by the whole family. The scents are varied, whether you like rose scents, mint, lavender, eucalyptus or verbena scents, you will find the solid soap that will please your skin. Natural formulas can soothe sensitive skin, nourish dry skin, soothe or purify. It's up to you to choose the formula that suits your skin!
Soaping up well is not complicated.
Air dry your solid soap, ideally on a soap dish so the water can drain freely. Store it in a dry and ventilated place between each use. If ever your soap has taken on a little too much humidity and has become pasty, leave it alone for a few days and it should regain its former beauty!
Unlike antiperspirants which prevent perspiration from releasing through the pores of the skin, solid deodorant simply attacks the bacteria in the perspiration, preventing them from releasing an unpleasant odor. Solid deodorants are often appreciated for their naturalness and their ecological aspect , since we apply the deodorant directly to our skin, under our armpits, we might as well look into the composition of the formulas! The ingredients found in solid formulas are often known to nourish and moisturize this sensitive area:coconut or shea butter are often used in the composition of solid and natural products.
Slightly wet your solid deodorant before applying it to your armpits. You can use cold or hot water depending on your preference. You can also apply the solid deodorant as is to your wet armpits if you get out of your shower!
When you've applied your deodorant, set it on a saucer to let it breathe and dry. You can store it in a resealable jar to keep your solid deodorant dust-free. Note that if it's very hot, your deodorant may sweat (the worst for a deodorant!) and soften, don't panic, in this case, make a little room for it in your fridge and it will be very happy .
Conventional toothpaste tubes are not the most environmentally friendly. The ingredients found in the formulas are often harmful:endocrine disruptors, preservatives or colorings are commonplace. Not to mention the composition of the plastic tube which already pollutes on its own... Solid toothpastes are created with natural, gentle, plant-derived active ingredients to clean teeth effectively without attacking enamel or gums .
Solid toothpaste often comes in the form of a stick or pebble, it looks like solid soap.
No need to rub hard for the solid toothpaste to be effective, the foam will form in your mouth on contact with your saliva. Some solid toothpastes don't foam much and have a slightly sweet taste, but that doesn't make them less effective! As the solid toothpaste does not fear the proliferation of microbes (thanks to its absence of water and the presence of natural antibacterial ingredients such as coconut oil), the whole family can use it.
Solid Cleansing Oil is perfect for gently removing makeup and cleansing the skin. This solid product is made from vegetable oils (plum, argan, castor, almond, coconut oil, etc.), vegetable butters, in short, products from nature. In addition to removing make-up from your face, a solid cleansing oil moisturizes and soothes the skin, to leave it soft and protected.
Avoid leaving your cleansing oil in the heat or in the sun, the vegetable butters that go into the composition of the formulas melt easily.
Hyper nourishing, body butter is the ally of dry or thirsty skin. Shea, coconut, cocoa butters, etc. are the best known and not the least effective. The scents are always attractive and the benefits genuine! The strong moisturizing power of body butters provides a lipid layer that protects the skin, softening it. Pregnant women like to use them to fight stretch marks, they are also appreciated for their anti-aging properties.
You can apply body butter all over your body and use it every day. These natural butters replace moisturizers and can be used in hair masks.
Body butter is multi-functional, you can use it in hand and foot care, to moisturize your face or your neckline. You can also apply the butter to skin irritated by a hair removal session, it will soothe it! It is also the ideal product to receive or offer a massage!
Exfoliating your skin is the best way to display a healthy glow and a radiant complexion! The cells of our skin are renewed frequently, the dead cells are detached from our epidermis and make the skin dull. A scrub or exfoliation is the solution to detach dead skin and have soft skin and the solid exfoliating soap is the perfect cosmetic!
When you apply the product, avoid the eyes and the eye contour, these areas are particularly fragile. Preferably store the exfoliating soap or solid scrub away from light and moisture.
The solid shaving bar is practical:no need for a badger to shave, we take advantage of the unctuous and natural cream of the bar, the razor glides easily and smoothly. A gentle, ecological and practical shave , you can take your favorite formula anywhere!
Men and women can use the shaving bar without any problem. Always favor natural formulas. Avoid using this product around the eyes and on the mucous membranes.
Solid cosmetics tick many boxes! Good for the planet, they are also pleasant for the skin and pamper our health and the beauty of our skin. Their often minimalist design says a lot, using a solid beauty product is adopting a healthy, natural and ecological lifestyle . Solid products have a much greener composition than conventional cosmetics. Packaging is often designed to minimize its environmental impact ! In addition to being practical, solid products are more durable!
The great advantage of solid cosmetics is their green aspect. This is often the main reason that pushes us to adopt solid products:no plastic bottles or tubes, the solid product is self-sufficient.

The composition of solid products is responsible, harmful ingredients have been banned to keep only the best, healthy actives, without impacting the effectiveness! The manufacturers' approach is often eco-friendly, no animal testing, vegan commitment, artisanal manufacturing and ethical approach often go hand in hand with solid cosmetics.
Another reason to use solid products:their lifespan is much longer than that of conventional formulas. This explains their economic aspect:you keep them longer so you spend less! Beautiful green savings ! The formulas have been designed to be effective, they work no less well than more traditional cosmetics. In addition, you respect your skin, your health and that of our planet!
