If you believe that [witchcraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-x-lush) is more than just a bunch of "Hocus Pocus," then you'll love this soap bar by [Dirty Girl Soap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-martini-fragrance).

This vegan bar might not actually bring the Sanderson Sisters back from the dead, but it will get you clean. Safe for your face, body and hair, the handmade soap is made with natural ingredients such as cocoa butter, safflower oil, coconut oil, sugar moisturizer, kosher vegetable-based glycerine, soybean conditioner and Tiger-Lilly fragrance.

You can have a fresh feel and a youthful glow -- without sucking the souls of little children, or drinking the blood of virgins or whatever it is that the Sanderson sisters do. The soap is a great reminder that [Halloween is just around the corner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lushs-2025-halloween-collection), but can be used all year round!
