Earth Friendly Baby products are a gentle blend of naturally-derived ingredients and certified organic extracts. We minimise the use of synthetic ingredients to balance the performance and mildness of our products. All of our products contain certified Organic Ingredients.
Organic certification is a complex issue, and rules and standards are different from one certifying body to another. Whilst we do use fully certified organic ingredients we feel that the performance and affordability of our products are more important than having our entire products certified Organic.
All of our products contain organic ingredients that have been certified by the Soil Association UK. Some products in our range also contain organic ingredients certified by the United States Department of Agriculture National Organic Program (USDA NOP).
It is impossible to guarantee that any product will be suitable for everyone but we intentionally exclude ingredients (both natural & synthetic) that are known to provoke irritation or reactions and we pride ourselves on producing mild and gentle products. It is, of course, always advisable to be cautious when using any new products, as some people are even allergic to water. As a precaution, we recommend a patch test to identify any sensitivity to the product prior to normal application.
All of our products are registered with the Vegetarian Society UK and the Vegan Society.
Earth Friendly Baby does not support animal testing, and as such none of our products or their ingredients are tested on animals on our behalf. To show our commitment to this we operate a fixed cut-off date of 31/03/98
Earth Friendly Baby packaging is recyclable where possible. Bottles are made of polyethylene teraphthalate (PET), and the caps from polypropylene(PP). We endeavour to use as much recycled and recyclable packaging as possible. Earth Friendly Baby wet wipes are 100% biodegradable and our 100% degradable nappy sacks break down to leave no harmful residue.
Both the Earth Friendly Baby and Earth Friendly Kids ranges of skincare products contain natural ingredients, with no parabens, artificial colours or fragrances, and no Sodium Lauryl / Laureth Sulphates. The Earth Friendly Kids range includes the same gentle, natural ingredients from the Baby range, but is formulated and designed especially for older children. Although this does not mean that either range is unsuitable for babies or children, the Kids range contains slightly higher concentrations of essential oils, and we recommend using Earth Friendly Baby for babies and children up to 4 years of age, and then the Earth Friendly Kids range from four upwards.
We recommend washing your baby with just warm water, a damp sponge or flannel, and pieces of moistened cotton wool in a baby bath or even the kitchen sink for the first few weeks after birth. After the first few weeks you can introduce a more normal bathtime routine using a couple of capfuls of Earth friendly Baby bubble bath and shampoo and bodywash.
Giving you baby a massage can be a lovely way to strengthen your attachment to him or her. It is also good to establish a consistent bedtime routine to encourage a healthy nights sleep. After a bath and before bedtime, pour a little oil into your hand and gently massage with long firm strokes into your baby's skin. Don't forget to finish with a cuddle.
Creating a regular bedtime routine that your baby will look forward to will help them understand evenings are about quite time and sleep. Why not try the Earth Friendly Baby calming lavender bathtime and skincare range. A sensual bath followed by a moisturising skincare routine or a massage and a cuddle will help your baby settle down ready for a nights sleep.

Our products are made from natural and organic ingredients and formulated to be gentle on baby sensitive skin. We would however always advise always to do a patch test on a small, non imitate area of skin before normal use, just to be careful.
We would recommend that Earth Friendly Baby products are suitable for use from 6 weeks and above. Prior to six weeks, new-borns only require warm water and cotton wool for bathing.
It is only medicine that is specifically tested for safety during pregnancy, not bathtime or skincare products.

Our products are as natural as they can be at over 99% natural. However, that 1% that is left over is reserved for our preservative system which is designed to stop any nasties growing in our products to keep them totally safe for use on your little one.

Yes
To keep our product safe and free from any harmful bacteria, we use a small amount of synthetic preservative in our products. The preservatives we choose to use are permitted with naturally certified products and are considered to be relatively mild, safe and effective.
We use synthetic preservatives because under EU law there is no such thing as a non-synthetic preservative. There are natural materials that offer assistance in terms of preservation, but legally these are not preservatives. The list of preservatives below, although synthetic are permitted with naturally certified products and are considered to be relatively mild, safe and effective.
Benzoic acid
Benzyl Alcohol
Dehydroacetic Acid
Potassium Sorbate
Sodium Benzoate

Research shows that consumers are often frustrated that they don't know which packaging can or cannot be recycled. They want clear on-pack guidance to help them do the right thing. While recycling rates have improved in all of the UK nations, rates still lag behind other European countries. We believe in sustainable packaging and that is why Earth Friendly Baby is part of the On-Pack Recycling Label scheme which is designed to aims to deliver a simple, consistent and UK-wide recycling message.

Earth friendly Baby products feature the period-after-opening symbol. The PAO symbol is a graphic symbol that identifies the useful lifetime of a cosmetic product after its package has been opened for the first time. It depicts an open cosmetics pot and is used together with a written number of months or years. Most of the Earth Friendly Baby range will depict the 12M symbol which means that after opening, the product will be fine to use for 12 months. In the European Union, cosmetics products with a shelf-life of at least 30 months are not required to carry a "best used before end of ..." date. Instead, there has to be "an indication of the period of time after opening for which the product can be used without any harm to the consumer
