🙌🚗 Huge shoutout to Auto Express for highlighting why natural soap is the ultimate tool for hard-working hands!

Working under the bonnet leaves behind stubborn oils that regular soaps struggle to touch. That’s where our Mechanics Soap shines. By harnessing the power of lemon, bicarb, and volcanic pumice, we’ve created a formula that dissolves heavy-duty grime while gently exfoliating away stains.

🌏 It’s not just about getting clean, it’s about caring for your skin and the planet at the same time. Vegan, plastic-free, and palm-oil free.

🚴 🚴‍♀️ 🚴‍♀ We've got some keen cyclists here at Friendly Soap. We wheelie love this amazing piece of work from our creative neighbours Sandinyoureye.

Taking the bike instead of the car isn't just better for the environment, it’s usually a lot more fun, too (especially if your route includes a quick stop for a famous Redcar lemon top).

This giant piece on Redcar Beach was created for the Tour of Britain, blending coastal sand art with big cycling energy. It was designed to welcome the riders as they raced along the coast!

Who’s taking the scenic route home on two wheels today? !
