Best beauty: Green People’s awards sweep

Green People, a favourite natural beauty brand,has won a succession of awards in recent months proving once again that it’s top of the eco-beauty game. Eleni Sardi reports. Green People has received recognition of its eco credentials by winning the much-coveted Best Environmental Award for its Organic Babies range, voted by the Baby Products Association.

The panel of industry experts also awarded the Babies range with a ‘Highly Commended’ for the ‘Bath Time’ category. A few weeks prior, the Baby Foaming Cleanser won the ‘Innovative’ Award in the Baby Wipes section of the 2009 TIPS awards – the midwife-led testing programme. The Certified Organic Cleanser is a unique take on the nappy-bag essential as it provides a non-chemical, alcohol free wipe alternative and is great for cleansing hands and surfaces too. This is great news for overflowing landfills.

The entire Organic Babies range is certified organic by either the Soil Association or Organic Food Federation and is free of parabens and other chemical nasties.

Green People made it to the Top 20 ‘Who’s Who in Natural Beauty’ this year in the Natural Beauty Yearbook 2010 too. The company began when founder, Charlotte Vohtz, wanted to provide natural and gentle organic formulations for her daughter who suffered from severe skin irritations. Today it offers more than 120 products for women, men, children and babies.

Well done Green People.
