Mini U
Mini U’s products are free from nasties, but, most importantly, lots of fun! Bath times are transformed into sensory, crazy experiences, with bath bombs that have a hidden toy inside and Fizzy Plops, that add a rainbow of colours to your water, and Fizzy Wows that make your tub fizz and sparkle. The company’s bright range of haircare products include detangling spray and brushes to keep locks shiny and knot-free, while kids can create crazy spikes and texture with the fruity Go Balmy Styling paste. All products are value-for-money and have safe and effective formulas.
Organically Epic
Pure, organic goodies that smell delicious and are incredibly effective? Every product on the Organically Epic site ticks those boxes. Find the fruity Marili range here – their Foaming Papaya face wash gets the muddiest of mugs clean, but is still gentle on young skin, while their Caramel and Honey Hair and Body Wash will make your shower smell of Wonka-style sweetshops. You’ll also find Pearlbar’s charcoal-infused bamboo toothbrushes, great for tiny teeth, while being eco-friendly and biodegradable. There are plenty of treats for parents too – just try to resist Barr’s gorgeous Secret Forest Face Oil or Snow Oil. Organically Epic’s customer service is equally, um, epic – there’s always someone available to chat about what products will suit your family.
Original Sprout
Original Sprout was set up by Inga Tritt, after she searched for safe products that suited her daughter’s beautiful, thick hair and sensitive skin. And what products she created! Ultra-moisturising, elegant, and produced according to strict ethics, Original Sprout is now an international brand renowned for its luxurious, all-natural products. Their Natural Shampooo and Deep Conditioners are perfect for all the family, from babies up, while their mouthwateringly luscious, vegan, Tahitian Island range is family friendly – teenagers love it.
Pure and Light Organics
As you would expect, a range created by naturopath, herbalist, Rudolph Steiner fan and aromatherapist Agnes Donazy not only works incredibly well, is produced ethically, uses high quality ingredients, but also smells delicious. Agnes’ passion is ‘to bring beauty and harmony to the world, one customer at a time.’ And she’s succeeding. We adore her calming Loving Mother & Baby Cream, with extracts of neroli, yarrow, rosehip and more, her Soothing Cradle Mist with its magical fairy scent, and her all-purpose, Essential Family-on-the-go Cream – rich in calendula and camelia, and wonderful for anything from bruises and insect bites to moisturising tired skin and having ant-bacterial qualities. Basically, the only thing you need to stow in your bag to cope with most things family life can throw at you!
Spiezia Organics
Handmade with love in Cornwall, Spiezia Organics Made for Life range takes a holistic approach to wellbeing that suits even the most sensitive skin. Inspired by the rugged beauty of the county’s coastline, and with uplifting, soothing aromatherapeutic scents, the range is brimming with bio-active organic ingredients and naturally occurring vitamins. Elements of their range are particularly well-suited to teenagers; their Sore Skin Relief Balm, Daily Rejuvenating Face Oil and Daily Radiance Facial Cleansing Balm are all effective on acne.
