A Friendly Soap Bar for Smelly Chef Hands!

Friendly Cook’s Soap (made in Northumberland) is specifically designed for chefs who regularly work with smelly ingredients like onion and garlic. It’s ideal to keep in the kitchen, when you need to quickly wash your hands. Also sold in packs of 12.

Unlike most soap bars, this one is not just vegan but free from sodium palmate (palm oil) so is orangutan friendly too, protecting their natural forest habitats!

Choose unscented soaps for pregnancy/nursing and babies. Avoid shea butter for latex allergies. Don’t use ‘human’ soap on pets (due to different PH and ingredients – read more on giving dogs baths. 

Why Choose Handmade Soaps?

Most soaps in shops are no longer made with animal tallow (sodium tallowate). But sodium palmate (palm oil) so no better, as its use is killing orangutans. Greenpeace says there is no such thing as ‘sustainable palm oil’ (a self-policed term from industry).

Real handmade soap (which retains glycerine, instead of selling it to industry) won’t dry your skin. Try using it and nothing else for a month, and see what happens!

Due to being more moisturising, store handmade soaps on a dry facecloth or slatted soap dish, to let water drain away, and help soaps last longer.

This bar contains coconut oil and shea butter (not for latex allergies) along with exfoliating bicarbonate of soda to remove odours, and essential oils of citrus and paprika.
