Friendly Soap - Patchouli

Rich, warm natural vegan soap

Warm, woody patchouli for gently cleansed, naturally nourished skin

Handcrafted in the UK, this natural soap bar features patchouli essential oil for a rich, earthy fragrance. Coconut oil, rapeseed oil and shea butter create a gentle cleansing formula that leaves skin feeling soft and moisturised. Each bar is handmade using the traditional cold-process method.

The rich, woody scent brings warmth and comfort to your everyday wash routine.

Why choose a natural soap bar?

Natural soap bars use plant-based oils rather than synthetic detergents, making them gentler on your skin. They also create less plastic waste than bottled shower gel, since each bar comes in simple, recyclable packaging.

Why you'll love it:

• Warm, woody scent: Patchouli creates a rich, comforting fragrance that lingers gently on your skin.
• Nourishing natural oils: Coconut oil, rapeseed oil and shea butter work together to cleanse without stripping your skin's moisture.
• Gentle, natural formula: Made without parabens, sulphates or SLS, so it's kind to even sensitive skin.
• Traditional cold-process method: Each bar is handmade using the cold-process, which creates no by-products.
• Plastic-free packaging: Your soap arrives in recyclable, plastic-free packaging to decrease bathroom waste.

Is this patchouli bar soap the right scent for you?

This is a great choice if you love warm, woody scents and want a natural alternative to synthetic soap. It suits most skin types, including sensitive skin, thanks to its gentle, natural formula. If your skin is very sensitive or reactive, patch test the soap before regular use.

Friendly by name, Friendly by nature. Rob & Geoff use the ancient cold-process method of soap making, which creates a biodegradable soap with zero by-products. There is literally no waste. Striving always to minimise their impact on the environment, as little energy as possible is used throughout production – every bar of Friendly Soap is poured, cut, stamped and packed by hand, here in the UK.

Friendly Soaps are all free from Palm Oil, Parabens, Sulphates, Triclosan, Phthalates and Cruelty, as well as being boxed in plastic free, recycled (and recyclable) packaging. They are also registered with The Vegan Society, Cruelty Free International and have a 'Best' rating with Ethical Consumer.

Their story is all about what is left in as well as what is left out. Friendly Soaps won’t dry your skin because all the valuable, naturally-occurring glycerine is left in the soap, so you get a wash that is rich and moisturising.

Also, the soaps are all made using ethically-sourced natural plant-based oils – coconut oil, olive oil, castor oil, shea butter and cocoa butter. Each has its own unique qualities and they are all naturally nourishing and moisturising.

Essential oils, flowers, spices and herbs are used for their scent and colour, their healing properties, and some – such as poppy seeds and hemp bran – will gently exfoliate the skin.

Friendly Soaps never use Palm Oil and believe the best thing for the rainforests, its animals and the earth is to avoid it entirely. Shea Butter is bought from a women’s worker cooperative in Ghana and the Coconut Oil is not produced using slave monkeys to pick the fruit. Yes, in some places, this actually happens!

By constantly scrutinising their production methods and working practices, Friendly take little steps towards their goal of producing a zero impact natural soap and business model that benefits the planet, its animals and its people.

The end result of all this thought and consideration? Beautifully luxurious soaps that care for you and the planet. Enjoy with a clean conscience!
