Friendly Soap Detox Bar - Activated Charcoal 95g

Jet black, faintly zesty and refreshingly herbal, this is the bar people tend to pick up out of curiosity and keep buying because they love it. Friendly Soap's Detox Bar combines activated charcoal powder with rosemary and lime essential oils for a deep-cleansing wash that feels clarifying and invigorating. Handmade in West Yorkshire, it is a striking 95g soap that brings a little drama to the bathroom while doing a thoroughly good job of everyday cleansing.

Charcoal, Rosemary and Lime

Activated charcoal is what gives this soap its dramatic colour. It is a fine, porous powder that has become a firm favourite in natural skincare for deep, purifying cleansing, especially for skin that tends to feel oily by the end of the day. Rosemary leaf oil adds a crisp, green herbal note, while lime peel oil brings a bright, zingy lift. All three are blended into a base of coconut oil, rapeseed oil and shea butter for a rich, conditioning lather that never feels harsh.

What to Expect

The lather starts grey and turns creamy as you wash, carrying a lively scent of fresh herbs and citrus that wakes up the senses. Skin is left feeling thoroughly clean, refreshed and soft. Many customers enjoy it as a face soap thanks to its balanced, non-stripping feel, and it is equally good as a body bar after a long day. The charcoal rinses away easily, so there is no need to worry about marks on your basin or towels with normal use.

Ethics You Can Trust

Friendly Soap was founded by two friends who wanted to find a fairer way of doing business, and that thinking runs through everything they make. Production happens by hand in West Yorkshire, which keeps the carbon footprint low, and every member of staff is paid a real Living Wage. The range is vegan, cruelty-free and palm oil-free, and it is free from the harsh synthetic additives found in so many everyday soaps. Packaging is recycled, recyclable and completely plastic-free.

Ideal For

A great match for oily and combination skin, for anyone who loves herbal and citrus scents, and for those looking for an interesting plastic-free gift.

Natural colour and scent can vary slightly from batch to batch, which is all part of the charm of a genuinely handmade product. For the longest life, keep the bar out of standing water and let it air dry between uses.

The range is free from palm oil, parabens, SLS, triclosan and phthalates, and it is registered with The Vegan Society and approved by Cruelty Free International.
