PROUD WINNERS!

We are delighted to have been awarded The Green Parent Natural Beauty Award 2019.
The Green Parent Magazine are very passionate about recognising the good work of companies whose heart and soul is poured into creating wonderful ethical products.

Conscientious Approach

We’re a wee bit obsessive at Friendly, and putting ethics before profits underpins everything here. That’s why our products aren’t just vegan, or cruelty-free, or made by people paid a living wage, without using plastic, parabens, SLS phthalates or triclosan. They’re all of these things. Sure, we could make more money doing things less ethically, but all we ever really wanted to make was a difference.

For soaps this ethical we use a cold-process method handed down through generations of makers. It creates no by-products and relies on old-fashioned elbow grease, with every bar poured, cut and packed by hand, right here in Yorkshire. The soap is biodegradable too, so it’s better for the planet even once you’ve used it. Our recycled and recyclable packaging is just us being sticklers.

Works a treat

Unless you’ve read the online reviews, you probably won’t believe just how rich and velvety our products’ lather is until you try one. That irresistible creaminess doesn’t just mean they’re gentle and nourishing for whichever bits of your body you use them on, it also means they go further than you think. The fact that they go further than you think means they’re even better value than you think too.

FRIENDLY TALK

“Just a quick email to say your soaps are wonderful! I’ve been using the Shea Butter Facial Cleansing Bar which is soothing on my sensitive skin and the Lavender and Geranium Shampoo Bar which leaves my frizz prone hair soft and shiny. I can’t use ordinary shampoos, even organic ones, as they irritate my scalp so it’s great to find that your version gives a far better result than products ten times the price. Thank you!”

“I just wanted to say thank you! I have struggled with acne for years and tried so many different things in the search for a natural solution but nothing has worked. Except your travel soap! I don’t know how but it has totally cleared my skin up! Honestly it’s amazing! And environmentally friendly and affordable too! Please don’t ever change the recipe!”

“I love the lavender and geranium soap bar! I have been using it for a few weeks now and I have been having lovely compliments from people about how great my hair looks! I don’t bother using conditioner anymore and it is super shiny, smooth and looks great even after a few days with less grease building up. I’ve used other shampoo bars before but this lathers really well, smells great and lasts for ages. Thank you!”

“This stuff is the business! No plastic, no nasty sodium laurel sulphate, lasts for ages (so works out cheaper than the supermarket stuff) and doesn’t send anything nasty down the plug hole. If everyone used this the world would be a better place.”

“I love the soap bars from Friendly Soap. I started with some of my favourites like Lavender and Orange, then I bought the Aloe Vera one, then the whole collection and I made presents for friends and family! I highly recommend it!”
