TIPS

Green People’s Organic Babies range has won seven 2007 TIPS Awards, with four baby skin care products being ‘Highly Commended’ and another two being classed as being the ‘Best Eco Friendly’ product in their category.

The TIPS Awards are the brainchild of midwife Sharon Trotter, who has been working with breastfeeding mums for the past twenty years.  A published author of tips and advice on breastfeeding, she also has an interest in neonatal skincare and has done plenty of research on the subject.

Her 2007 study involved the wide-scale testing of 52 baby skin care products from 11 manufacturers, including Green People’s Organic Babies range.

The results for Green People were as follows:

Mum & Baby Moisturiser – Highly Commended
Baby Wash Lavender – Highly Commended
Soothe & Calm Baby Balm – Highly Commended
Baby Salve Lavender – Highly Commended
Baby Wash Chamomile – Commended
Spearmint Toothpaste – Best Eco Friendly Toothpaste
Mandarin Toothpaste – Best Eco Friendly Toothpaste

Mum & Baby Moisturiser Lavender - Highly Commended

"Manufactured using the finest natural ingredients, this range prides itself on being free from lanolin, parabens, SLS, SLES and artificial fragrances. This moisturiser was easy to apply, well absorbed and seemed to help soothe dry skin conditions. The Green People Company is ethically responsible with 10% of their profits being donated to ‘green’ issues"

Lavender Baby Wash and Shampoo - Highly Commended

"Testers found this wash easy to use, loved its delicate fragrance and even found a new use for it as a facial for mum! Manufactured using the safest ingredients by a company known for its ecological and ethical business credentials, this is a product well worth a try."

Nappy Cream Baby Balm - Highly Commended

"This organic nappy cream really works and is totally safe for the most delicate bottom. This lovely balm is a wonderful consistency and goes on easily. It treated red bottoms within a few applications. Green People pride themselves on being environmentally responsible and providing excellent information in line with the latest advice on safe skincare for babies."

Baby Salve - Highly Commended

"This organic nappy salve, like its partner ‘Soothe & calm baby balm’ was well liked by testers. Totally natural in origin this was easy to use with a lovely consistency. Green People are ethically responsible and environmentally conscious. This expertise is now backed up by more than 10 years of research into safe skincare."

Chamomile Baby Wash and Shampoo - Commended

"Universally praised by parent testers, this was easy to use, lathered well (without strong detergents) and was safe for even the most sensitive skin types. Manufactured using the safest ingredients by a company known for its ecological and ethical business credentials, this is a product well worth a try."

Children's Spearmint & Aloe Vera Toothpaste - Best Eco Friendly Toothpaste

"Like its sister product, the mandarin toothpaste, this is a great alternative to regular toothpastes and ideal for children to use. It comes with the expertise of an excellent company who are dedicated to safe and environmentally friendly products. This toothpaste is easy to use, tastes good and is free from fluoride and all foaming agents."

Children's Mandarin Toothpaste - Best Eco Friendly Toothpaste

"The packaging is informative but clever enough to catch a child’s attention. The two flavours in this range are not too sweet and the consistency, whilst not being too frothy, does coat the teeth well, leaving them clean and fresh.

As long as there is still debate over the safety of fluoride in domestic water supplies, it is great to have the option of using non-fluoride toothpastes for young children so there is no worry over swallowing too much product. A little goes a long way so the price is value for money."
