Escoda Olive Oil Brush Soap — 100g brush and hand soap, gentle conditioning for natural & synthetic bristles

This compact soap blends olive oil and gentle cleansing agents designed specifically for artists. It removes paint, medium residue, and grime while helping maintain brush shape and softness. The bar is travel-friendly and suited for use in the studio, classroom, or while painting outdoors.

How does Escoda Olive Oil Brush Soap clean brushes effectively?

The soap dissolves and lifts paint and oily residues without aggressive detergents that can strip natural or synthetic fibers. Its olive oil base helps emulsify paint while providing slip so you can work pigment out of the ferrule and bristles.

• Gentle olive-oil formulation loosens paint without harsh stripping
• Designed to reach the ferrule to remove trapped pigment
• Safe for natural and synthetic brushes, preserving fiber integrity

Will this soap keep my brushes soft and in shape?

Yes — the conditioning qualities of the natural oils help prevent bristle dryness and stiffness after cleaning. Regular use maintains flexibility and reduces splaying so brushes retain their tip and performance longer.

• Conditions fibers to reduce brittleness and split ends
• Mild formula maintains brush tip and spring
• Useful for quick post-session care and deeper periodic cleaning

Can I use this soap for my hands and in what situations is it handy?

The bar doubles as a hand soap formulated to remove paint without drying the skin excessively. It’s ideal for artists who prefer a single cleaner for brushes and hands, especially when water access is limited during plein air sessions.

• Gentle on skin while removing paint and pigment
• Compact size suits studio sinks, travel kits, and field boxes
• Leaves hands conditioned, reducing the need for extra moisturizers

How long does one 100g bar last and how should I use it?

Longevity depends on frequency and technique, but a little soap goes a long way: rub the wet brush across the bar, work lather into bristles, rinse, and repeat for deep cleaning. Allow the bar to dry between uses to extend its life.

• 100g compact bar designed for many cleaning cycles
• Use with lukewarm water and gentle circular motions for best results
• Store dry between uses to prevent softening and waste
