Green People: Caring for allergies and skin conditions naturally

At Green People, we combine plant extracts, oils and essences to create organic lotions which gently assist the skin’s processes to restore its natural balance. They help to soothe irritated skin, helping to relieve the itching and stinging which can cause much discomfort.

Our entire range is free from Lanolin, SLS/SLES, Parabens, Petrochemicals, Propylene glycol, synthetic fragrances and any other irritating chemicals. All of our natural skin care products are vegetarian, and most are suitable for use by vegans. None have been tested on animals.

The careful formulation of our organic skin care range has proven to be highly effective in helping those with skin allergies and conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and sensitive skin, with some of our customers reporting the best results they have ever seen. See testimonials.

Although some of the products are in our baby or men’s ranges, they can be used by everyone. Our baby products are particularly effective for those with skin conditions or very sensitive skin as they are extra-mild.

Many skin care products are described as being hypoallergenic. Unfortunately, this term can be a little misleading, as people can be allergic to the gentlest of plant ingredients, such as aloe vera, so it is not actually possible to create anything which is 100% hypoallergenic. However, our avoidance of known irritants means that our products are suitable for many people who have skin sensitivities and allergies.

Skin allergies

An allergy occurs when your body identifies an environmental substance as being dangerous, and reacts accordingly. What your body reacts to could be just about anything; dust, pollen, chemicals, pets and latex are just some of the more common ones. You might also be allergic to some foods, such as milk, wheat or nuts.

When you have allergic skin reaction to something in your environment, you may display one or more symptoms. The symptoms may take the form of eczema, swelling, rashes, and itchy eyes or skin.

We have found our best products for skin allergy sufferers to be:

Eczema

Eczema is a skin condition which is diagnosed in around 1 in 6 children. Most grow out of it by their teenage years, and only 3 in 100 adults display its symptoms. In ‘dry’ eczema these include dry, red, inflamed and itchy skin, most commonly around the joints where the skin rubs against itself, such as the knees, elbows, wrists and neck. An exception to this is in babies, where eczema is commonly seen on the face.

If you have more severe eczema, or the affected skin is sufficiently disturbed, you may develop weeping, blistered patches. This is known as ‘wet’ eczema, and its symptoms are treated in a different way to ‘dry’ eczema.

We have found our best products for eczema sufferers to be:

Sensitive skin

Around 50% of the adult population have sensitive skin, with slightly more women having it than men. If your skin burns, stings or itches after the application of soap, bubble bath or cosmetics, then you may well have sensitive skin.

Those who have mild sensitive skin will only have an occasional reaction to these skin products, whilst those who have more sensitive skin may develop irritant contact dermatitis or mild eczema. When sensitive skin is irritated, calming lotions help to relieve symptoms and heal the affected patches.

We have found our best products for people with sensitive skin to be:

Psoriasis

Psoriasis affects around 2 in 100 people in the UK, and is characterised by red, scaly patches of skin which are known as plaques. These plaques often have a whitish sheen to them, and can be itchy. As well as occurring on the skin, different forms of psoriasis can also affect the scalp, nails and joints.

It is difficult to predict when flare-ups of psoriasis will occur, as they are not connected to allergies, as with sensitive skin or eczema. However, treatment can be similar, with the application of creams to soothe and help the skin recover, although in some cases, phototherapy (non-burning exposure to sunlight) has been shown to help.

We have found our best products for psoriasis sufferers to be:

Soothing, healing natural skin creams from Green People

Our belief in creating natural skin care products which rival, and even exceed, their synthetic alternatives in their efficacy is the driving force behind Green People.

However, we are also committed to operating in the most eco-friendly way possible; by creating products which are so gentle that they can be used in even the most sensitive of environments; by packaging our products in recyclable, biodegradable tubes and boxes; and by ensuring that we use ingredients sourced in an ethical, sustainable way.

We also donate 10% of our net profits to charities supporting natural health and environmental issues. This means that every time you place an order with us, you put money towards a good cause.

Testimonials

"I just wanted to contact you and thank you for Organic Babies Baby Salve. My 10 month old Poppi has had dreadful eczema since she was born and I have been frantically searching for something that works without chemicals or steroids. I have been trying things on her angry little skin for a week at a time watching her scratch and cry, it was awful. Then I picked up your ‘miracle’ salve and was a little pessimistic, thinking that it probably wouldn’t work either. I put it on immediately and she slept all night and woke up in the morning with just red patches. It wasn’t angry and it wasn’t troubling her.In just two weeks it has very nearly gone thanks to you. I just want to thank you for helping my little girl to feel comfortable and content. (and giving me a good night’s sleep again). Thank you.

"I've had problems with eczema and itchy, flaky scalp for years. I have tried many types of anti-dandruff treatments, even medicated tar-based shampoos, but with a total lack of success. The only product I have found that works is Green People Itch-Away Shampoo. It has got rid of the itching and flaking and soothes any inflammation on my scalp."

"I recently purchased the Hawthorn & Artichoke Formula and after 5 - 6 days of taking the formula I am really pleased and quite shocked at how effective it is. My skin has never looked better. My problem has been a combination of things, poor energy, skin problems (spots and blotchiness which I think is down to age/menopause) and occasional bouts of eczema (usually stress related). Already my skin has improved beyond recognition. It is visibly clearer and brighter and the redness that I have been suffering from recently has calmed down so much. It can only be due to the formula as nothing else has changed. I don't feel so tired and my eczema seems to be disappearing as well. It's absolutely fantastic and it's good to know that my liver shouldn't suffer too much after the New Year festivities!"

I have not contacted your team in the past - but would like to say that your products are EXCELLENT - and your service second to none. I am 57 with a very sensitive/eczema skin and I know I can trust your range of beauty products. Thank you for all your service - keep up the fantastic work. P.S. my husband is now sold on the shampoo and conditioner!"
