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, preservatives or sulfates. 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.
POWERED BY HANDS 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.
Perfect for Autumn skin care and a fantastic Christmas stocking filler gift.

Geoff Kerouac and Rob Costello are the founders and co-owners of Friendly Soap, an ethical manufacturer of vegan soap, shampoo and shaving bars. After working together for years at a well renowned whole foods co-operative, the two close friends decided to start their own soap company in 2008.
Today, they take a very hands-on approach to running the business, and they employ around 22 people in a variety of roles, including manufacturing all of the company’s products at their idyllic base, Topland Country Business Park in Mytholmroyd.
