Friendly Soap Plastic-replacing durable and biodegradable travel box for soap

Packing a soap bar for a weekend away usually involves a plastic bag, a damp wash bag and a slightly squashed bar. Friendly Soap's Travel Box solves all of that with a plastic-replacing, durable and biodegradable case that keeps your soap, shampoo or shaving bar safe and tidy wherever you go. At home, it doubles as a smart soap dish for the bathroom, so it is never left sitting in a drawer.

Liquid Wood - A Clever Material

The box is made from liquid wood, a bio-material created from the leftover parts of trees in the paper-making process. In this case it is made from spruce, giving a material that combines the precision, flexibility and durability of plastic with the renewable, tactile qualities of wood. At the end of its life it can break down by rotting, just like natural timber, so there is no lingering plastic waste.

At Home and On the Move

Pop a bar inside before you travel and the lid keeps it secure in your bag, protecting both the soap and the rest of your belongings. The compact size is designed with Friendly Soap's 95g bars in mind, and it slips easily into wash bags, gym kits and rucksacks. At home, simply use the base as a soap dish by the basin or bath, keeping your bar off the counter and looking neat.

Designed to Replace Plastic

Friendly Soap is a West Yorkshire business with a clear mission to help people make greener choices. The company is an accredited Living Wage employer, its soaps are vegan and cruelty-free, and it holds a Best rating from Ethical Consumer. The Travel Box completes the plastic-free routine, giving your handmade bars a durable home without resorting to the usual plastic travel cases.

Who It's For

Perfect for travellers, campers, gym-goers and anyone who has switched to solid soaps and shampoo bars. It also makes a practical addition to a plastic-free gift.

Good to Know

Every Friendly Soap product is designed to be as kind as possible to people and planet alike. 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. Choosing it is a small, simple step towards a home with less plastic and fewer unnecessary chemicals.

Proudly Made in Britain

Choosing products made close to home helps to support local jobs and reduces the distance your purchases travel. Friendly Soap makes its range in the Calder Valley in West Yorkshire, where a small team takes pride in producing everything with care and attention to detail. It is the kind of honest, small-scale making that is increasingly hard to find, and it shows in the quality.

A Thoughtful Gift

Looking for a present that feels personal without being wasteful? Friendly Soap products make wonderful gifts for birthdays, Christmas stockings, thank-yous and housewarmings. They arrive plastic-free, look lovely when unwrapped and are genuinely useful, which means they will be enjoyed rather than tucked away in a cupboard. Pair this with other bars or accessories from the range to create a bespoke eco-friendly gift set.
