Friendly Soap Mechanic's Soap 95g

Oil, grease and engine grime are notoriously difficult to shift, and harsh workshop cleaners can leave hands feeling raw. Friendly Soap's Mechanic's Soap offers a natural alternative. This handmade 95g bar from the Work range is loaded with natural exfoliants and degreasing ingredients to scrub away stubborn marks, while castor oil and coconut oil help look after hands that work hard every day. It is the bar to keep beside the workshop sink.

Tough on Grime, Kind to Hands

Three natural scrubbing ingredients do the heavy lifting here: volcanic pumice, finely ground olive stone and bicarbonate of soda, which helps to cut through oily residue. Lemon, cedarwood, patchouli and tea tree essential oils give the bar a fresh, woody-citrus aroma that helps neutralise workshop smells. The base combines coconut oil for powerful cleansing with castor oil for a creamy, conditioning lather. Limonene and citral occur naturally in the essential oils.

The Hard-Working Ingredients

Wet your hands, work the bar into a lather and scrub thoroughly, paying attention to knuckles and around the nails. The grit gives a satisfying, effective scrub, and the lather rinses away to leave hands clean and refreshed rather than dry. The scent is fresh and distinctive without being overpowering. For the best results on heavy grease, rub the dry bar onto the stained areas before adding water.

Small Batch, Big Heart

Each bar starts life in a small workshop in the Calder Valley, where it is mixed, poured and cut by hand using the time-honoured cold process method. Nothing goes to waste in the process, and nothing unnecessary goes into the bar - no palm oil, no parabens, no sulphates and no synthetic perfumes. The brand is registered with The Vegan Society, approved by Cruelty Free International and rated Best by Ethical Consumer, while the recycled card box is ready for your recycling bin.

Who It's For

Perfect for mechanics, engineers, cyclists, DIY enthusiasts and anyone who regularly gets oil or grease on their hands. It makes a handy, practical gift too.

Because it is made without artificial hardeners or preservatives, this soap loves to be kept dry between uses. A draining soap dish or a wooden rack is ideal, and it means you will get the very most out of every bar.
