Whats new with 'Organic Babies'?


'Organic Babies' enjoy strong endorsements from influential organisations (you'll have read about TIPS on other postings) - and this Summer we are really pleased to work alongside the UK's biggest parenting charity, NCT. If you read their regular magazine, please look out for the 'Organic Babies' Chamomile Baby Wash free with a copy coming soon, or browse our ranges in their online shop.


Earlier in the year some products in this range gained official certified status from
The Fairtrade Foundation. 96% organic Soothing Baby Salve is rich in Omega-3&6 fatty acids essential for healthy skin. It is great for nappy rash and designed to provide quick relief for baby’s sensitive skin. 98% organic Nappy Cream Baby Balm is suitable for babies with nappy rash, and those particularly prone to eczema. Baby’s discomfort is eased by the healing affects of Zinc Oxide.

Ultimately, this means that parents can protect their baby’s skin at the same time as helping third world communities, and be reassured that those involved in the production of ingredients receive a fair price for their labour. (Fairtrade Shea Butter is packed with natural vitamins, and is a natural anti-inflammatory, and anti-irritant too).

Green People Founder, Charlotte Vøhtz explains,
'We have been developing certified organic baby products for over 13 years, and it has always been our mission to source ingredients that are 100% natural and organic and that are equally beneficial to the local growing communities ... We are delighted to work closely with the Fairtrade Foundation to recognize this commitment, and can offer parents baby care products which are just as good for the skin as they are for the livelihoods of the producers.'
Pressie-wise, we heartily recommend the Mum and Baby Gift Box Green People’s products are available online or call us to discuss using the range in office hours on 01403 740350. You can also find fabulous parenting tips and free advice on our micro site too.

We always like to note feedback about our pioneering all natural brand ‘Organic Babies’. Can we invite all fellow Bloggers, Mumtrepreneurs (is it true that these fabled creatures are at home, in class, at work and quite probably pregnant while also Blogging in just the one lifetime?) and, dear loyal customers to crack on share your product experiences with us? It is always great to hear from you all x

My own tip?
I don't have any kids so didn't initially think about buying into this range, however a tester fell magically into my hands, and before i knew it, i began using Lavender Salve on my rather grown-up knees, heels and elbows to keep the drier areas supple and youthful. The rapid results and deep moisturisation are a complete revelation, and it also give calves a model like sheen for those flipflop outings. Best of all - it lasts for an absolute age.

Will yours be a green 2011?

With the excesses of Christmas behind us but New Year's celebrations just around the corner, this is the time to reflect on 2010 and consider what 2011 holds for us.

Most of us are getting quite good at being green and hopefully you have already been converted to organic skin care and make up!

However by doing just a little bit more, you could help 2011 be an even greener year for you than 2010.

Here are some suggestions:

  • Take home plastic bottles and cans to recycle instead of disposing of them in public bins

  • Don't leave your mobile charging all night - pop it on charge when you get home and it should be done in a couple of hours. Remember to turn off the charger afterwards!

  • Switch to green cleaning products and buy some reusable cloths rather than using throwaway kitchen towel

  • Switch to a green electricity supplier, like Ecotricity

  • Set your computer to hibernate after a short period of inactivity or buy an eco button

  • Sign up to a mail preference service which will remove you from junk mailing lists

  • Get on top of those jobs around the house which can cause wastage - fix that leaking tap and dripping overflow pipe!

  • Install a water butt linked to your guttering system and use the water for your plants or topping up your pond
