About Us

Our Story

Meet Sonia, the maker and founder of Green Elephant Soap! What started as a passion for crafting in 2010 has grown into a mission to create natural, sustainable body care that's good for you and our planet.

After many years working in the Finance Industry as a Financial Auditor, Sonia followed her heart back to her childhood dream of creating with her hands. "I always loved craft, create something new by my hands. Handmade things have a nameable, unsee-able energy and kindness," she explains. "I became passionate about creating something that is healthy, natural, looks and smells good."

Today, Green Elephant Soap products are hand made in Bristol, and loved by customers who appreciate the personal touch, natural ingredients, and commitment to sustainability. With just 5* stars rating on Trustpilot, our customers tell us they value not just our products, but the care and authenticity behind them.

Why Green Elephant?

Green = sustainable, good for our environment and our body

Elephant = Sonja's childhood symbol and lifelong love. "They are really special, they take care of each other, live in a big family, and they are quite happy animals."

Our Mission

Shopping for skin and body care should be a purely joyful experience. It's our personal vision and company mission to be unwavering in our commitment to toxin-free products, so you can shop with the freedom of knowing that everything we make is safe and good for you.

We believe that body care should provide more than a sweet-smelling experience - it should be beneficial to our health, our psychological well-being, and take care of our Planet.

Our Values

In three words: Quality, pure natural ingredients. Honesty and transparency. Ethical.

What we put into Green Elephant products is at least as important as what we leave out. We believe that the noblest, purest, highest quality natural ingredients provide the most effective products - it's a simple formula.

All our products are:

• ✓ Vegan - no animal ingredients
• ✓ Cruelty-free - never tested on animals
• ✓ Plastic-free - zero-waste packaging
• ✓ Palm oil-free - protecting rainforests
• ✓ Toxin-free - safe for sensitive skin
• ✓ Handmade in small batches - in Bristol, UK

Our Products

Every product is proudly handmade in the UK using organic oils, raw butters (like premium cocoa and shea butter), clays, and the highest grade of essential oils. Our cold-processed soaps cure for 4-6 weeks to create a gentle, long-lasting bar.

From our signature soaps like Geranium Wave and Earthy Man to our highly effective natural deodorants and luxurious body butters, each product is crafted with care. Many customers with eczema and sensitive skin tell us our products have made a real difference.

Sonia's personal favorites? "Our deodorants - they're really-really long lasting and super effective. And the unscented Cocoa Butter Solid Bar - it smells like a piece of chocolate!"

Our Community

You'll find us at St Nicholas Market in Bristol and at special events like Bath Christmas Market. We love meeting our customers face-to-face and seeing their smiles. As one customer said: "Sonja and her husband are a delight to chat with and go the extra mile."

"To meet with our satisfied customers and see their smile - I know that what we make is sustainable, good for their body and soul and our PLANET. It's just a super feeling creating something good."
