It’s not easy being green, but Charlotte Vohtz decided to go on a green path to helping her 2 year-old Sandra, suffering from eczema and severe allergies, and started Green People certfied organic skincare and sunscreen.
She discovered that many of Sandra’s skin allergies were being triggered by chemical-based household and personal care products.
She thus created Green People, a range of skincare and sunscreen products that are now available here in New Zealand, using clinically-proven herbal actives to treat age reversal, redness, itchiness, flakiness and spots.
Green People uses 100% natural spring water and soothing Aloe Vera with over 90% natural and organic active and Fairly Traded ingredients and nothing is tested on animals. They use 100% renewable energy – wind power and ground sourced heating in manufacturing.
Thread also likes that they support charitable causes, with over 10% of net profit every year since the business began going to charity.
They boast 100% certified organic products, unlike many ‘natural sector’ competitors, the products – not just individual ingredients – are certified organic.
They work using organic sunscreens, including Titanium Dioxide, Edelweiss, green tea and avocado oil.
No Scent Children’s Sun Lotion SPF25 ($44) is a water resistant, natural sunscreen is made without Parabens, Lanolin, phthalates, artificial perfumes, petrochemicals and colourants, making it the purest children’s sun lotion that nature can offer.
And for adults, the Sun Lotion SPF25 ($49) is formulated with active botanicals to support the skin’s immune system and increase protection against cell damage.
Available now from department stores, Farmers, health food stores and pharmacies nationwide. For more info see www.greenpeople.co.uk
