Green People is one of England’s better skincare companies, with nearly everything organic and sold in easy-to-recycle sugar-cane tubes. This brand was founded by a mother to heal her daughter’s sensitive skin and now has been around for over 25 years. The products are a bit more expensive than supermarket brands but are concentrated (so last longer) and not ‘silly designer prices!’
Use scent-free range for pregnancy/nursing (also avoid hibiscus) and affected medical conditions (grapefruit oil etc). Avoid shea butter for latex allergies. Keep items away from young children and pets (due to citrus essential oils & zinc oxide in deodorants/suncare).
The range is baffling large so can be quite confusing. So we’ve gone through and picked out some good simple basics, so you don’t have to!
Foaming Face Wash uses a special pump to produce a foam without foaming agents. Oy! Foaming Face Wash is for oily skin & teens (with tea tree, willow bark and witch hazel). For dry skin, use Gentle Cleanse & Make-up Remover (a best-seller for 25 years and can also remove waterproof makeup).
Scent-free day moisturiser is ideal for daily use. Or use Fruitful Nights Night Cream for gentle exfoliation overnight. Oy! Skin-cleansing moisturiser is ideal for oily skin or teens prone to spots or acne.
Men’s facial cleanser/exfoliator & cooling moisturiser are good basics, use with soothing shave gel and an organic men’s shampoo for itchy scalps.
Anti-Redness Oil is ideal to reduce flare-ups for rosacea. Marine Facial Oil is scent-free to reduce hyperpigmention (made with Atlantic seaweed and plant-based squalane).
Balance Oil Serum is ideal for congested skin or perimenopausal spots. Age Defy Serum is perfect for older women to help prevent lines and increase hydration. Oy! Clear Skin Purifying Serum is for skin prone to acne.
Hydra-Glow Sleep Mask is an organic overnight cream that’s perfect to lock in moisture – a citrus spa in a jar! Purifying Mace Mask is scent-free, with activated charcoal, bentonite clay and by-product coconut shells. AHA Radiance Mask is more to restore dull and mature skin, scented with mandarin & neroli.
Green People Line Eraser Serum is like a ‘natural Botox’ to help reduce appearance of crows’ feet and lip lines in 15 minutes. Firming Eye Serum plumps up skin around the eyes in just an hour (as much as 47% in one month of daily use).
