We are fortunate to live in a democratic society where we can choose where we live, what we wear and what to buy. As a powerful consumer,one chooses to support good small / moderately-sized businesses that supports people and planet(I've been doing this for so long it's habitual:).
Here's some really good resources that I endorse:
Oliva Soap Pure olive oil soap(just saponified olive oil and mineral salts) so pure it's biodegradable(thus it's suitable for sensitive / facial skin and new-born babies, unlike a certain well-known baby range full of petrochemicals)! For a good natural moisturiser, you can't beat pure coconut oil(makes a great conditioner and pre-shave treatment too:); after all your skin is the largest organ - you are what you absorb!
www.pinkrobin.co.uk sells some lovely organic cotton san pro, maternity and first period kids(An ideal gift for a young girl especially as it comes with an ecologically-sound jute storage bag and thought:).Like the ubiquitous plastic bags(sea mammals often mistake them for food)disposable san pro and nappies / diapers end up in rivers and beaches too.
Pure sesame oil(not the toasted brown oil)is a great pre-cleansing body treatment(massage some in prior to showering)and shower as usual for super soft and clarifying treatment! Sesame oil is a great oil for teeth-pulling too(more on this later:).
Tom's of Maine is a great naturally-sourced toothpaste!
Tip! Explore your area to find some lovely independent shops(service with a genuine smile:)
For ecologically-sound attire: try braintree.hemp.co.uk(based in Camden, London or mail-order), peopletree.co.uk and bishopstowntrading.co.uk shops around the South West and mail order. Tip: you can get some great handwoven cotton(made with love:)in some lovely natural colours from India at very reasonable prices per metre for the creative seamstress amongst us!
Baking pwd / soda make a great deodoriser(in addition with a few drops of pure lavender essential oil inside the container)is ideal as a pre-vacuuming treatment. Just shake and vac!
