I love Green People skincare products, which are all-natural, all-organic and Fairtrade to boot. So I was thrilled to get the chance to review their lovely Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner and their new Organic Babies Baby Oil.


Green People was founded way back in 1994 by a mum who was looking for a way to clear up her daughter's eczema. After discovering that many of her daughter's allergies were being triggered by chemically-potent household and personal care products, she took action. "With a nursing background, knowledge of herbal medicine, and more than 11 years of experience within the pharmaceutical industry", Charlotte Vøhtz was well-placed to create what was to become one of the leading brands in natural, organic body care products in the UK.


From the Green People website:

"Green People are committed to offering products that are 100% natural, gentle, organic and highly effective.

Moisturising Shampoo & Conditioner
I have fine, wispy hair that has previously had highlights applied repeatedly and for the last year has been hennaed, so you can imagine how hard it is to find a shampoo & conditioner combo that really works to detangle my frazzled locks without leaving the rest of my hair limp and lank.


Until now I've tried umpteen types of conditioner in an attempt to save my tangled locks from turning into a bird's nest (particularly as I only brush my hair about 3 times a week these days!). It looks as if my search is over. Green People's Moisturising Shampoo teamed with their Moisturising Conditioner leave my hair beautifully tangle-free and hydrated yet full of bounce and life!


The shampoo is super-concentrated so a little goes a long way (and I have pretty long hair so this is a bonus!) and lathers up nicely without filling the shower with suds. Even on its own I suspect the shampoo would do wonders for most hair types, but mine does need the extra TLC of the moisture-rich conditioner.

Unlike most conditioners (particularly moisture-intensive ones), Green People's Moisturising Conditioner has a lovely non-greasy, almost creamy-gel-like consistency which feels lovely to put on and - more to the point - gets straight into those tangles to do its good work, rather than sitting greasily on top of your strands and simply feeling claggy. Massaged in well and through the dry ends, my bird's nest already feels much tamed without the need to get a comb out.


Rinsed out and dried as usual, I find I have beautiful tangle-free, well-hydrated and bouncy, glossy hair :)


Baby Oil No Scent
I have to say I'm not usually a great fan of baby oils, which tend to be pretty odious concoctions masked with some chemical perfume. I'd much rather use a base oil, such as almond on my baby's skin.


However, having the chance to try Organic Babies Baby Oil No Scent, I must say I'm more than pleasantly surprised. First of all, the ingredients list is just sublime - a gorgeous mixture of the best skin-loving, pure organic oils you can find:

Sunflower seed oil, sesame seed oil, evening primrose seed oil, rosehip fruit oil, elderberry seed oil, pomegranate seed oil.

Rightly so, given the ingredients, the oil claims that it is "suitable for children who may be prone to eczema and psoriasis". All those wonderful omegas!

Unfortunately my own skin just does not like oils - I've tried countless times. But I used this on boy Earthly where he has recently developed patches of eczema on the back of his knees.


The consistency is like any oil and so it's ingenious that comes in a handy pump dispenser rather than a bottle - much less messy! Rubbed between the palms and massaged into the skin, this is easily absorbed (if you don't use too much!) and the "No Scent" claim means of course that it doesn't have any powerful perfumed overtones, so you really feel like baby's skin is just getting the best.


The proof of the pudding? Boy Earthly's patches of eczema have cleared up after just one application!


Well done Green People for creating a truly gorgeous, natural skin tonic and remedy for our precious babies (and I daresay, a few Mums and Dads might be stealing some for their own skin too!).


The only downside to this lovely product is that it does not come with a cap for the pump top. This makes it difficult to put in a wash bag for travel, and means keeping it well out of baby's reach!
