Green Oil started with a sample batch in 2007 when the Tour de France started in Trafalgar Square, London. Empty bottles purchased through Ebay, bottles filled through a reclaimed beer tap and labels designed in Microsoft Word, printed onto paper and applied with glue.
We've come a long way since, check out how our branding has changed, and the range grown.
Green Oil Wet Chain Lube 100ml
- Prevents rust
- Reduces wear
- All conditions lube
- 125 + Miles between applications
- PTFE free and 100% biodegradable
Green Oil Wet Chain Lube was developed out of a frustration. Other lubes were petroleum based, mostly contained PTFE and even said 'Dangerous for the Environment' on the bottle.
Green Oil is a biolubricant. It's made from plants instead of petrochemicals.
Green Oil Wet Chain Lube is 100% biodegradable.
Not 'biodegradable with PTFE', a line some brands suggest.
Apply to the inside of your chain for one length, spin the cranks.
Wipe off excess with a rag to keep the chain nice and clean - you only need the oil between the links where the friction occurs.
- Dry conditions lube
- Utilizes natural wax
- Great for commuters
- No trouser leg stains
- PTFE and petrochemical free dry chain wax
Wax lubes dry to leave a semi-dry waxy film on your chain.
Wax lubes are great as they attract less dirt, especially good for very dry dusty trails.
Many wax lubes contain PTFE, which makes a carcinogen when it's made.
PTFE doesn't biodegrade. We use natural waxes instead of paraffin wax, and a plant based solvent from sugar grown here in the European Union.
It's green, and performs.
On Tour 30ml
- Mini bottle for touring
- Pocket and saddle bag sized
- Re-fillable
- PTFE and petrochemical free
Ideal for touring, it's also re-fillable.
Small enough for your pocket or a saddle bag. The new bottle is made from recycled plastic, and can be re-filled with 30ml of your favorite lube.
- Either Rocket Salad or Basil
- Hand packed and grown in the UK
- 100% recycled paper packet
- Ideal for pivots etc
- Thick formula
- PTFE and petrochemical free
- Now fits most most grease guns.
Mechanics regularly work with grease. They get it on their hands.
It's morally wrong that other brands use petrochemicals and PTFE. PTFE makes a carcinogen when it's made, accumulates in body tissue and the environment.
Ecogrease uses natural crop based oils, rubber extract and other natural ingredients for most grease applications. It also fits most grease guns in its new tube.
The eco friendly spray lubricant:
- Displaces water
- Lubricates

One bottle can also make a whole litre of Green Clean bike cleaner
- mix with 900ml water.
Designed to last, not wear out fast!
- Built to last OVER 10 years!
- British made
- FSC certified handle made from sustainably sourced wood
- The most durable luxury bicycle brush on the around
Fed up of plastic brushes made in China?
This was inspired by a cheap plastic brush that had spikes for a handle which digs into soft wet fingers. The plastic bristles also clogged up.
The Drive Chain Brush is different.
This brush is luxurious, it's made in the UK and even the print on the handle is biodegradable.
It's designed to last more than ten years.
The wood is FSC certified - we're not destroying rainforest to make it.
The bristles are tough - you can scrub a chain really heard - they won't wear out or fall out quickly. Grime doesn't stick to them easily. It works.
Also the World's first bicycle product with FSC certification - a stamp of approval from the Forest Stewardship Council.
For frame cleaning etc
- Carbon fibre safe
- Soft and durable
- Made from recycled fabric
- Can be washed in a washing machine!
- Helps stop fabric fibres going to landfill

Some 'orange peel' degreasers use petroleum.
Agent Apple doesn't. It's strong, and re-usable too.
Place your chain, cassette or other metal part in a half milk bottle, pour in the Agent Apple and it will start eating away the grime within 5 minutes.
A light brush with a toothbrush will shift any grime previously stuck on.

The Eco Rider Deluxe set tub is made from recycled plastic. However, in the UK, it's difficult to recycle this type of plastic (type 5, 'polypropylene').
Therefore, the Green Oil Eco Rider Deluxe set includes a pack of seeds - you can grow your own salad or herbs to give the tub a second life!
It's also great for storing the products neatly in your garage. Make sure they're dry first though.
- We discontinued a very small number of items.
