Green People Scent-Free Baby Wash & Shampoo
Green People Scent-Free Baby Wash & Shampoo is clinically proven to be kind to sensitive skin, and fragrance-free too. A little goes a long way, and you can use it as a body wash, shampoo or bubble bath.
Contains healing aloe vera and yucca for a light lather. Contains chamomile oil (recutita diluted version). Sold in a sugar-cane squeezy tube, that’s easy to recycle.
Use for over 3 months due to chamomile (do a patch test by rubbing a small amount on the inner arm, then wait 24 hours to check for redness or allergic reaction).
Safety tips for baby baths
- NHS has a 2-minute video by a midwife (never leave alone for a second, and avoid baby bath seats, as these can quickly detach). Run cold water first (then add hot water, testing with wrist or elbow). Keep your baby’s head clear of water.
- Don’t bathe straight after feeds, or if hungry/tired. Avoid baby oils, due to risk of slipping.
- Avoid talcum powder, it’s linked to ovarian cancer and increasingly banned in many countries. Don’t use cotton buds to clean baby’s ears (the cause of nearly all infections).
Why is this brand zero waste?
Green People packs items in recycled or bio-plastics. You can easily recycle packaging at kerbside (or at any branch of Superdrug or Boots, both now have recycling bins for empty bathroom packaging, even toothpastes).
Why choose zero waste baby wash?
Most baby washes are sold in single-use plastic packaging (not recycled, like Green People). Plastic is made from oil, so extracting more of it contributes to climate change and wars.
This baby wash is made from natural organic ingredients, so it’s far safer to waterways, when it is rinsed down sinks and goes into sewer systems, and eventually into the sea.
