Friendly Soap Achieves ISO 22716 Certification for Cosmetic Manufacturing Excellence

At Friendly Soap, we’re always striving to improve—for our customers, our team, and the way we run our business. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve officially earned the ISO 22716 certification! You might be wondering, what does this really mean and why is it important to you?

So, What is ISO 22716?

ISO 22716 is an internationally recognised standard for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) specifically for cosmetics. It ensures that businesses follow the highest quality and safety standards throughout every step of production. For us, this certification is a mark of assurance that every part of our process—from sourcing ingredients to the way we make each bar—is always held to these high standards. It’s a seal of approval, showing that we’re continuing to do things the right way.

Why Does This Matter?

The ISO 22716 accreditation is not just a certificate; it represents our ongoing dedication to improvement and quality. Our entire business has been thoroughly reviewed by LRQA, a respected global assurance provider, through an in-depth audit. They examined how we make our soaps, the way we operate, and the processes we use to ensure everything is transparent and up to the highest standards. This means:

• Consistent quality: Every natural soap bar we make is handmade with care and to the highest possible standard.
• Continuous improvement: We’re always looking for ways to make our processes more efficient, safer, and more reliable.
• Transparency and trust: You can be confident that what we say is backed up by our actions, ensuring we live up to our commitment to quality at every step.

What Does This Mean for You?

This certification reassures you that each bar you buy is made with care, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality. We’re proud to be a company that does things the right way—not just for our business, but for our customers, our staff, and the planet.

What’s Next?

Receiving ISO 22716 is an exciting milestone for us. This certification not only reflects our ongoing commitment to maintaining high standards but also ensures that these values remain at the core of what we do as we continue to grow and evolve, always prioritising quality and integrity

Thank you for supporting us on this journey! With this ISO certification, you can be more confident than ever that every Friendly Soap product is made with care, quality, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
