The products sold by Little Green Nursery have been carefully selected. They are the purest and most natural available using the best quality ingredients, which we feel is vital for delicate skin.

I have put together a selection of the purest organic products on the market. There are no parabans, SLE or SLS or anything similar, in fact there are no preservatives full stop.

The producers of these products are small companies who make the products by hand in small batches. Obviously this method of manufacturing is more time consuming and the products cost more than the bottles you find on the supermarket shelf, but they are all reasonable in price and I personally am not prepared to compromise my children’s skin and health for the sake of a few pounds, I hope you feel the same.

Research shows that skin absorbs into the bloodstream up to 60% of what is put on it and that childrens’ skin is 5 times thinner than adults.

Given these facts I soon became very concerned about my children’s skin. I had never put much on them and had instinctively avoided bubble bath, but was quite horrified when I started researching some of the ingredients in things like shampoo and moisturisers.

Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES) are both known skin irritants, mineral oil which is a by product of the petroleum industry and parabans (a commonly used preservative which has recently been linked to cancer) are all routinely used in children’s products as they are cheap to use in manufacturing.

I also started looking into the natural and organic skin care products out there and realised that they vary dramatically in their quality. For example, one of the innocent sounding vegetable emulisfying waxes on the market contains SLES.
