My family and I are picky. Have you noticed? We have a lot of tick boxes that need to be checked off before we give our approval. I'm super excited to tell everyone all about...
Green People
I have 4 children. They all have their own skin weirdness. Some are chemically sensitive, some have dermatographic hives, some have eczema...seeing a pattern here? Pure weirdness. It got so bad when we first started figuring out what was going on, that I started making our own shampoo. That can get old real quick as life gets busy. That's why I've been so relieved to find this brand.
Pro's:
~ Certified organic ingredients
~ Paraben Free
~Fairly traded ingredients
~ SLS and SLES free
~Vegan
Ingredients I love:
~Coconut based foaming and thickening agents. Such a great natural way to cleanse and nourish the hair without irritating the skin.
~Essential oils, plant extracts and aloe powder. Every oil in here is a great one. Rosemary has anti-fungal properties, antibacterial properties and is great for thickening hair. Lavender is a fantastic cleansing, soothing and antibacterial agent. Pineapple and aloe are anti-inflammatory and very soothing.
What's not to love about that?
Con's:
~The price. I won't complain too much. I found the shampoo for £9.70 and the conditioner for £9.68. I've spent way more money on shampoo and conditioner before. However, I'd love it if this product could find a way to be a bit more cheap and cheerful to make it more accessible to a wider audience. (And let's just be honest, easier on my wallet.)
~The shampoo advertises a little goes a long way with the lather. I live in a really hard water area and have rather short hair. I find I have to use more than I normally would to wash my hair but again, I'm alright with that. I know that I'm using a product that I can stand behind and not have to worry about what kind of environmental toxins I or my kids are absorbing.
This is not a sponsored post. I just wanted to share the goodness of a product I've really enjoyed. If you have any shampoos or conditioners for sensitive and delicate skins, I'd love to hear all about them.
