"Thank you so much for stocking me up with lovely products for the ocean – nothing
quite like a zesty citrus bucket wash in the rain! Very pleased to have had you
onboard and very grateful for your support. 3 world records and over £25k for charity:
happy happy days!"

“Thank you for your products , I love them. My skin is feeling fab and I can definitely
feel the benefits. I especially like the Day Solution, it absorbs so nicely and
leaves my skin feeling soft and fresh!”
Mia Nisbet founder of ‘Fashion by Mia’.
"I am writing to thank Green People for the wonderful products you produce. I've been looking for a good range of skin care and makeup for about 2 years and never imagined I would end up so happy and satisfied! How lucky to have found you!
My skin type is oily/combination and everything has broken me out so far (tried many different moisturisers including Chanel's and YSL's) but since using the miracle Day Solution Spf 15, I haven't had a single blemish and the oilyness is under control! It absorbs within a few seconds leaving the skin well conditioned and matt. Love the SPF and I was delighted to find out it's organic like all ather amazing products you present!
Fruitful Nights really works wonders, it has made my skin glow more than ever, evened out the tone and healed brake out marks! My face is still moisturised in the morning, feeling baby soft and smooth.
It's amazing to be able to apply Eye Cream and Gel directly on the eyelids, the dellicate eye area feels tight and moisturised. Since using them my Dry Eye Syndrome seems to be fading away to the past!"

"At the age of 69 I suddenly developed very dry skin, it appeared at random anywhere on my body including my face, breasts (very painful) and scalp. I was prescribed a cream but nothing had a lasting effect.
A year later I read about Green People - I started using your products in March 2006. I have been delighted with each and every product. Within 3 months my skin was 80% better and after a further 3 months had completely gone and to date there has been no reoccurrence.
It is impossible for me to choose a favourite product because I have found enormous benefit from across your range.
What else do I love about Green People?
Your very courteous and helpful office staff – the amazing speed of your deliveries – free returns (on all my purchases over the years, just 1)
Most of all that you have not resorted to a 08 telephone number with time spent handing on listening to music etc.
I have recently received 2 of your new cosmetic range: Pressed Powder and Nude Concealer they are both brilliant and I am now ordering Facial Oil (at my age I need it).
Thank you Green People."

"I have been using your Serum every night as Charlotte suggests and it is wonderful, my skin is looking so much
softer and hydrated, and the smell is just like a spa! Your products and service
are so good, I love the neutral/scent free cleansing cream and 24 hr cream, and also your
neutral/scent free shampoo and conditioner, in fact I went to the hairdressers today and at
the end of my appointment my hairdresser who has been doing my hair for years, said
your hair feels so nice and soft today. All thanks to your shampoo and conditioner!!"

"I have been a customer now of yours for many years, as I actively fundraise and
promote the National Eczema Society - my daughter is now 26 and has had eczema all
her life - I felt at last I had found a company who has empathy with my ideals and
love the fact that the products are suitable for people with dry skin conditions.
All the products I have tried have been excellent and last Christmas I purchased
many copies of your book to pass on to family and friends and spread the word that
it is not necessary to use chemicals on your body. One of things I now appreciate
about your products is how long lasting they are because you do not need to use
large amounts of the product as you would with other high street products. This
makes them excellent value for money in the long term - something very important
in today's financial climate. I have even persuaded my husband to use the shower
gel and shampoo on a regular basis!!
Over the years I have tried a number of products that have been on offer and these
have become firm favourites so please keep up the idea of offering discounts on
different products, so that we can try something new.
The latest product I have found is the gentle tone - for someone who hates using
a toner this is wonderful product, easy to use and moisturising as well as toning.
Also the Minty Cool Toothpaste - much more gentle on the mouth and less drying.
Best wishes - keep up the good work.

"Thank You Green People - FOR THE MOST AMAZING PRODUCTS - I have just placed my
second order with you having found you back in August. How have I managed until
now without you.
As a former Beauty Therapist, I am all too well aware of the dangerous ingredients
that go into our personal care and cosmetic products. The majority of people
are blinded by clever marketing campaigns, promises of incredible results that verge
on the miraculous and expensive packaging.
You have shown that it is possible to have a range of quality products using
the best that nature has to offer without compromising the environment, animal welfare,
your customers pocket, integrity or their health.
For anyone that has coloured hair, I have found that your Intensive Care Shampoo
does not strip out the colour and the matching conditioner smells incredible. I
have to have it coloured every four weeks to keep it looking nice, however
it has been seven weeks since I last had it done. Over the next year that is going
to be a considerable saving. All the more pennies to spend on your lovely products.
Truly, I can hardly wait for my next order to arrive as one of the items is
the Vita Min Fix Moisturiser, which I now regret not ordering the first time. I
look forward to trying more and more of your products over the coming months.
C B, Sheffield.
P.S. By the way my last order arrived within 18 hrs of placing it. What a service
and I love the Vita Min Fix 24hr Cream it smells just wonderful and also the eyecream.
I can only respond positively to all your products that I have tried. I LOVE THEM!!!"
"Just thought I would let you know that my daughter and son-in-law came to stay
for a visit. They live some way from us at Thornton Cleveleys, near Blackpool. As
luck would have it she forgot her cleanser and moisturiser and asked if she could
use mine (all products were stratigically placed in the bathroom to tempt in the
first place ).
My daughter came downstairs a short time later stroking her face saying she could
not believe how soft her skin felt, where did I get the products from and she wanted
some NOW. I went straight on the internet and showed her your web site whereupon
I had to open another email account so she could place an order immediatly. She
purchased Gentle Cleanse, Vita Min Fix and Eye Cream and had them delivered to
the mother-in-laws while she was away.
On returning home she telephoned me to say how pleased she was with the products
and how wonderful they smelt.
As a stocking filler I had popped Charlotte's book into her pressie bag for her
to read over Christmas in the hope she would be won over. I didn't have to worry
as the little 'try before you buy' scenario did the trick. I have to say it was
the easiest recommendation I have ever had to make with hardly even trying.
THE PRODUCTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES!
So may I take this opportunity to wish everyone at Green People
A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS, A PROSPEROUS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Love and best wishes xx

"Hi there green people
just had to email as still cannot quite believe how amazing you are. i found your
products at the beginning of this year and now most of my family (including my husband)
are addicted. i love all your products especially the fruitful nights and eye cream.
throughout the year people have always commented on my skin, and when they find
out im 32 they are in shock!!! the best was being asked for id in the pub the other
night!!
i was brought up by my mums influence on the usual suspects clarins, clinique, estee
etc. i think now that all you pay for with these products is the advertising, packaging
and face caked sales girl whittering on at you!!! mum has saved a fortune on all
the 'special creams' they blag you to buy and loves your spa range.
not only are your products packaged so simply and elegantly, but you give 10% of
profits to charity, err hello clinique and clarins wake up and smell the coffee!!
everytime i go on your site there are unbelieveable offers that just make my day!
i cannot wait to be a loyalty member soon when i place my next order.
my sister has always struggled with her skin and now she looks amazing and the bonus
of it all is that your organic as well. my husband swears by vita min fix cream and
he has even had comments about his skin!!!
anyway i will stop blithering on now, just wanted to say thank you for providing
such excellent products without all the hype and a huge price tag.
best wishes for xmas and good luck for 2009

"Hello to all you lovely Green People! I love you so much!
Just a quick email to say that I have recently purchased Fruitful Nights & Day
Solution SPF15, as I am trying to be a bit more ethical when purchasing beauty
products.
Fruitful Nights, well I'd pay double the price for the gorgeous smell alone! *faint*,
but the fact that it sinks in straight away is a massive bonus (the BF always complains
with my usual potions that he can't kiss me at night because his face keeps sliding
off mine!) I just want to keep putting more and more on, because the smell is to
die for, and my disbelief in watching it sink in!
And the Day Solution SPF15? Blew me away. It's so nice and matte, it is an absolute
dream for me - and most days I now even don't bother with foundation proper, just
a swish of my face powder and I'm good to go!
Please don't ever stop making these products, I have searched high and low for a)
a night cream that smells decent and sinks in and does what it says; and b) a day
cream with SPF that doesn't make me shine! Now I've found exactly this from you,
I'm scared you'll disappear!
It's only been a couple of weeks so far, and I'm only 27, so can't see a difference
in my face yet, but they say prevention is better than cure, and I feel all smug,
knowing that I'm doing my bit for the environment too!
Congratulations on your success and thanks again for the fantastic products!"
'Mouse' by email
Oh my goodness, after ordering a brochure from you guys you teased me with a few
sample sachets of your products. After trying the hand/body lotion, I
was instantly amazed at the instant unbelievable results and so bought the full
size which arrived today.
As this is a multi task hand/body lotion I will treat my whole body to this luxurious
product. I put some on my hands when I opened it up and it instantly sank into my
skin without any residue whatsoever. After trying many organic creams and natural
butters (have used organic and or only natural products for nearly 5 yrs now) this
is the only one that leaves no residue and the results are instant, my hands feel
like silk and are incredibly soft after just 1 application. I am gobsmacked at its
results, also it smells absolutely divine, a mixture of an old English rose garden
and the hint of lemon trees soaking up the sun - this is gorgeous. That fact that
is is organic with no toxic chemical nasties and does exactly what you guys claim
puts you in a league of your own.
If this product hasn't already won awards it certainly deserves Gold or higher.
I am now an avid fan of GreenPeople and will be back to buy other products and will
certainly recommend you to friends and family. I feel very blessed to have discovered
your products.
By the way I bought your shampoo and conditioner from my local health shop a couple
of weeks ago (prior to the hand cream order), those too are exceptional, the first
organic shampoo without chemical nasties that, in my opinion works better than the
shampoos you find on the high street. I have tried so many "natural" shampoos that
failed to reach my basic expectations.
One last thing - The fact that you give proceeds from sales to Charity shows what
you are all about. So many people are out for themselves nowadays, it's nice to
see that people in need get something too, a really kind gift to those in need.
I cannot thank you enough for producing a product I have searched years to find,
you not only have made my day you have made my year.
J.M. by email
I just wanted to let you know how much I love ‘Fruitful Nights’ I am late 40’s and
most night creams are heavy, but after using this my skin feels wonderful and glows.
Your ‘Vitamin Fix’ I have just started to use as it is getting colder and is wonderful.
I have made my Christmas list and everything will be from you. Your service is superb.
J by Email
I've been totally organic using Green People products for 3 months now and I thought
I'd give you an update.
My skin is still looking the best it's ever been and my nails are now long and very
strong, whereas they've always in the past been peeling and chipping and forever
breaking. My cuticles are looking great as well, they've always been a problem for
me in the past being very dry. I barely have to use hand cream at all now, whereas
I used to have to use it several times a day.
I am still making a remarkable recovery from M.E. and I can now watch DVD's, read
and listen to talking books and best of all I can do cross stitch! To put this in
perspective - I tried starting a cross stitch kit last year (a very easy beginner's
one) and I was constantly making mistakes and made no progress with it and put it
away in a drawer as I was just to tired to concentrate. Whereas this last week or
so I managed to finish it in just 9 days! The baseline of my fatigue has obviously
gone up and what I can do now when I am still very tired is far more than I could
do before when all I used to be able to do was to rest on the sofa feeling very
ill. Things look very promising.
All I can say is I am so grateful to Charlotte and Green People for caring about
what goes into your products. I am glad you have won another award, you certainly
deserve it! I'm going to stick with Green People!
J. D-A. Cheshire
I've read about Green People products in various magazines and as my skin is temperamental
to say the least, and because of the general trend towards natural products these
days, I thought I would give you a try.
I have to say that your products are brilliant. Since I've been using them
my skin looks much fresher, cleaner and calmer than it has for a long time.
That horrible "congested" look has gone as well. I am particularly fond of
Fruitful Nights. The remains of my high tech creams have hit the bin.
Also can I just say thank you for your speedy despatch times. My first order
seemed to arrive in no time at all.
Thanks again and keep up the good work.
K.B by email
I am just emailing to thank you for the speedy and efficient delivery of my order,
which I received today.
As always I am thrilled with the products that I have received, which are of the
usual high quality which I have come to love- I have cleared everything else out
of my bathroom cabinet and am now only using Green People products in my daily routine.
In addition, I would like to thank you for making the neutral/scent free cleansing
lotion, which I have been using everyday since receiving it last week.
I would also like to thank the staff team for their polite,friendly and efficient
customer service.
L.B. by email
I have been meaning to let you know how much I love your products. Over the last
four years or so since I began using them I have loyal to some of your products
and try others to "see what they're like". I do not dislike anything you do. My
skin is sensitive and I have psoriasis - but naughtily cannot resist hair colour
so I use your Intensive Repair shampoo and conditioner and have done for ages -
its fabulous for my locks.
One thing anyone who has not tried your products before must indulge in is the Gentle
Cleanse - it is heavenly to use and I would not entertain using anything else. I
buy it twos and threes just in case you run out and please, please, never change
it, dilute it or stop producing it - I would literally cry!
Thank you Green People.
L.T. Staffordshire
I would just like to say that your products are fantastic - so much so that I recently
sent out a newsletter to my clients and friends promoting your products.
Alma Griffith of www.nutrihealing.co.uk
"I'm very impressed with the cool lips product. The formula is perfect.
The other product we particularly like is the men's deodorant, which my husband
can use as it will not bring him out in a rash. We take a chance each time he uses
an off the shelf supermarket product.
Many thanks for an impressive service,"
LM, by email.
I'm a mum living in Wales with my 5-year-old daughter.
I've been looking for a proper cream all around UK and South Korea, but it
was really hard to find right one(almost impossible), because most of them contains
lots of chemical ingredients even though they were called as 'organic' or 'pure'.
But after using your baby salve and mum-baby moisturiser( second one for whole body)
her skin is absolutely beautiful again!!
Now I'm your one of many regular customers of not only baby products but also
wonderful skin care line for woman.
I really want to appreciate your amazing products, you gave my daughter's beautiful
skin back, that is definitely priceless.
Thank you all.
Sincerely,M
Hi Greenpeople, Can I just say a huge thankyou. THANKYOU!!!
My Daughter and I have finally found a decent shampoo and conditioner (we
use the rosemary, the vitamin shampoo and the intensive repair conditioner) that
we both love and trust and that is all down to you. We will not be using any
other products again unless it is from GP
Once again, thankyou, we love your products.
Best wishes

"I find It's always good to start and end the day with quality, beautiful, safe
products and Green people are a breath of fresh air. I love their organic, chemical
free products. Thank Goodness for Green people."
Gemma Pennant in ITV's 'The Royal Today'
Thank you for your order which I received yesterday. I work as a community midwife
practioner, and see the effect that over the counter creams do to new baby skin.
I highly recommend your wonderful products and will be ordering many more for my
daughter.
Thank you once again

Just to say thanks for my recent order. Less than three days after switching to
using your products, the very red and persistently dry and uncomfortable areas across
my brow and cheeks have completely vanished, and the dark circles under my eyes
are improving. H.W Email
I recently emailed you regarding the ingredients in your products as I have very
sensitive skin. I was amazed at the prompt and thorough reply I received and
consequently placed my first order last Friday. I was then amazed by the quick
delivery of my order. I live in a fairly remote area on the west coast of
Scotland and when people say next day delivery we know it will take 3-4 days on
a good week! This was not the case and I received my order the day after dispatch.
I cannot express how fantastic your customer service is. I work in retail
and have to say that many of us could learn from you. The other reason I am emailing
you know is to say how fantastic your products are (neutral/scent free).
I have just placed my second order (received my first on Tuesday - 3 days go) as
I have never used products that don't give me red, blotchy, itchy, inflamed skin.
2 weeks ago my husband was shocked at the state of my scalp and skin and his reaction
got me very upset. This is what made me find your website and try your products.
After 3 days my face is almost normal -
no itching or redness but still slightly tight, my scalp is not as itchy and I still
have flaking but I have only used the shampoo twice so I need to give it a bit longer.
I never realised you could get unperfumed products that were so beautiful to use.
I only wish I had discovered you six years ago!!
I look forward to my next order and will be recommending you to everyone I know.
Many thanks
T.R Email
Can I say how amazing all your products are but particularly the Self Tan lotion
INCREDIBLY GOOD, and your SPF15 day moisturiser utterly GORGEOUS!! I adore them.
Your baby/children products are also great for sensitive (skin wise, not emotionally!)
adults. I love your baby shampoos, the detangle conditioner and baby salve.
Also your deodorants are amazing, I should know, I'm a fitness instructor and trainer
and I get dreadfully ''moist'' several times a day, your deo works wonders, it lets
me sweat as nature intended but I don't end up all pongy.
I'm happy to tell anyone and everyone about how amazing you lot are, my life was
very dull and full of Parabens, PEGs and Laureth Sulphates and itches before I met
you!! THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!! I've taken you up on your offer and stocked up with
my faves, so my loyalty to your company and the beautiful products continues.
Ms L, Stafford. By email.
Thank you. My order arrived today. I am very pleased with your service and will
recommend you to my friends.
K by email
With regard to my recent order with yourselves. Thank you! I cant believe how quickly
& efficiently you sent the product to my nephew. It was my first order with
yourselves & I shall definitely be using you again & also recommending you
to my friends.
Thanks again
A.W by Email
May I wish Green People a very happy new year, and also may I thank Green People
for making it easy to avoid parabens and other nasties - it was my resolution just
over a year ago to switch to safe beauty products and Green People has made it a
pleasure.
R.C by letter.
I just wanted to say how pleased I have been with the products and how I am looking
forward to the next ones I have just ordered. One of my daughters does suffer sometimes
with bad skin and I am hoping to make us all that bit healthier by cutting out the
rubbish that we have unknowingly been using daily. I am already a strong believer
in eating organic foods and hadn’t really given the other products a great deal
of thought; I have now and the research that I have read has been shocking.
It is so great to have found a company like yours, and even the website is one of
the best I have ever used.
I had to let you know as people just don’t say so enough these days! Keep
up the good work.
Kind Regards,
T.B.
I recently ordered neutral/scent free shampoo and a trial size moisturiser. I simply
cannot believe it. Something actually doesn’t irritate my skin. I have such sensitive
skin that I didn’t believe anything would be ok to use, without irritation. I will
certainly be ordering more from this range. It’s so refreshing to find something
that actually does what it says and doesn’t upset my skin and scalp. I will recommend
it to my friends and family. It’s also very important to me that the products are
not tested on animals. Thank you for such a gorgeous product.
Thanks again

What a fantastic idea!! THANK YOU!! As always, you guys at Green People trying to
find solutions to make our lives a nicer place i.e. we get our stuff on time AND
you offer its delivery for free. Once again, thanks.
Maybe that's why you have so many loyal and very grateful customers. And while we're
about it , can I say how amazing all your products are but particularly the Self
Tan lotion INCREDIBLY GOOD , and you SPF15 day moisturiser utterly GORGEOUS!! I
adore them.
I've taken you up on your offer and stocked up with my faves, so my loyalty to your
company and the beautiful products continues. Many thanks all,

Dear Ms Vohtz
Discovering your products has been the miracle my skin has been waiting for.
A search on Google listed Green People and I was relieved to find that your products
aren't as expensive as other organic products.
My first order came a few days ago and I can already see a huge difference.
The Sensitive range is perfect for me as it gives me the option
to use unscented products.
If only all beauty companies had your ethics. Thank you so much.
Yours sincerely
C P - Bristol
Dear Green People,
I used to be totally ignorant of the dangers of chemicals in person care products.
Since finding out the hazards I've tried to buy everything as chemical-free as possible.
I was a bit dubious about spending what I thought was alot of money on your aloe
vera shower and bath. I used to buy big bottles of the cheapest chemical laden products.
However, I have found the product amazing. And, like you say a little goes a long
way. I am totally converted to your products and recommend them to everyone I know.
Keep up the good work.
kind regards
H.J. Greenford
I was introduced to Green People by my sister after she had read an article about
your products. We were advised to stop using any off the shelf products in
her bath or on her skin and prescribed various emollients that were pretty ineffective
apart from making her very hard to grab hold of as she was so slippy! I then
bought the children's lavender shampoo and the children's bath and shower wash which
her skin doesn't react to at all and if anything benefits from it. It also
means that I can create some bubbles in her bath as little girls love them! To
top it off I bought the children's moisturising lotion which is like a miracle cream and I can't
explain how effective it has been.
I used to use it religiously twice a day but now don't require to use it as often,
it has been fantastic for her skin. I now have another daughter who is
15 months and I have used nothing but Green People products on her so far to
great effect.
From the baby salve - great when they go through the newborn really dry skin spell
- to the nappy cream baby balm.I am also a convert and wouldn't be without
the shampoos and conditioners.
Thank you!!

Many thanks for my lipstick! I am delighted with all the products that I have
had from you over the last few months and wish you continued growth and success!
A. H. Devon
I am a mother of 3 children. When my eldest was about 18 months she started to develop
dry patches of skin on her legs and her back. I was given prescription creams and
lotions which just did not help. The patches of skin did not bother her overly however;
they were sometimes itchy and quite unsightly. I tried loads of products and spend
lots of money on creams that appeared on the packet that they may help but to no
avail, in fact she was ending up having allergic reactions to some with her face
swelling and terrible rashes. As I was reading the ingredients on many of these
products I became concerned as to all the chemicals I was putting on my child's
skin. I then searched on the internet for natural products and found The Green People.
These products are fantastic! I use them on all my children and they all have no
skin problems. My daughter’s skin is clear from the dry patches. Occasionally, when
I have run out I have used other "gentle" products and the reactions have returned.
I now always ensure that I have a stock of the children's bath and shower, children's
shampoo, aloe vera lotion and sun cream as they are the only products I use on
my children. I have just recently bought the baby care pack for my friend who just
had a baby as I wanted to show her how lovely these product are. I have now used
these products for the last 2 years - thank you Green People!
I.F. Glasgow
Thank you for the excellent face care products. I use the cleanser, toner, day and
night creams. I recommend them to all I meet!

Thank you also and to your founders for being so far sighted making products which
are kind to us and to the environment and to our very lives in this beautiful world.

"Hi Green People Team, I've received your new catalogue in the post this morning
and just wanted to say that it is an inspiration! Really well presented, appealing
and informative - plus I was surprised and delighted to see my quote has been
included on the lipstick page, quite exciting! I think this new look has much
more appeal than some of the previous catalogues - very fresh - and also the
new packaging looks great.
This is your 10th anniversary year and my youngest son will be 10 in September
- I first came across Green People products at a health show in Bath when I was
pregnant with him and I was very enthusiastic about them at the time. Its
great to see how the company has grown in those ten years and developed a real "feel
good factor" as well as lovely products.
I will continue to buy your products and look forward to perhaps some more cosmetics
to add to the lipsticks? Keep up the good work and happy 10th anniversary!"

“I am the wrong side of 40 and over the years have spent literally thousands of
pounds on skin-care products which claim to plump, brighten, de-wrinkle and generally
make your skin amazing. Looking at myself in the mirror in the morning sometimes
I feel I have wasted my money!! Recently I read about the weird and wonderful
things they put in these creams and despite many claims of 'against animal testing'
they are still tested on animals! I have felt rather conned. Since then I tried
your Gentle Cleanse and Hydrating Firming Serum and am amazed. OK I still have a few wrinkles, but
my skin is softer and more comfortable, I need far less moisturiser (I
often forget to use it as my skin feels so good) and even if you get the stuff
in your eyes there is no sting which would definitely happen with the 'wonder creams'! So
thanks for being honest about what goes in your products, for not testing on animals,
for not making silly claims and yet giving me skin that actually looks and feels good
for a fraction of the price I have previously been paying. Amazing!”

"For me, Green people are a dream come true and the products a joy to use.
For years I had hunted for skin and body-care products that didn't contain harmful
'nasties'. Now, thanks to Green People, my sensitive skin feels pampered and protected
and I'm often complimented on its condition ... yes even at 70 years of age! Shopping
for gifts too couldn't be easier now. Your staff are so friendly and helpful and
everything is delivered to our door. Who could ask for more? Thank you all."
A.D by Email
"I would like to thank you for your great products and to say that they have changed
my life, by using them. I changed to your organic perfume free range
because I discovered that my toothpaste was upsetting me causing me to choke at
night and my dentist recommended that I cut out a certain ingredient as this might
help. So after searching around I discovered your products and started to
use your toothpaste, shower/bath, shampoo, and conditioner.
The difference is amazing, my cheeks are not swollen any more, my lips are smaller
and not so dark red, my whole mouth is different, my hands are not swollen, my feet
are so much better and don't have the fungus and flakiness. My hair is thicker
and all the itching has gone and is so much more manageable, and it is noticeably
less grey, my skin is not dry and the natural oils have returned.....The list goes
on and on, but I thought I would share with you just how much your products have
helped because you don't use any of the harmful ingredients that other people do.
So "thank you" for being there and caring enough in producing wonderful products
that don't give harmful effects. Every blessing"

"I Started using your products in 2006, and I am amazed at how good they are, and
that they seem to last 3 x longer that my usual toiletries. My daughter and I both
have very thick curly hair,and every 2 weeks I used to spend a fortune on hair products
from shampoo, to leave in conditioners and styling products, I had to otherwise
it would look like straw, dry and frizzy, a complete mess.
Then just by chance I came across your products while searching online, my daughter
and I kept getting rashes that were sore and very itchy, our GP suggested we had
an allergic reaction to something, maybe washing powder or soap. My daughter was
also diagnosed with asthma. After reading online about all the chemicals in our
everyday products, I decided that I could not afford to turn completely 'green'.
So I ordered a couple of items to begin with, they were the Organic Children's Lavender
Shampoo & Conditioner, and for myself some Day Solution SP15... and I couldn't
believe the difference they made. The SP15 face cream is georgous, it left my skin
feeling silky soft. And everyone comments on my daughter's 'beautiful' hair, its
so shiny and full of life! I don't need to use any other styling products, just
shampoo and conditioner, so I have saved my self a small fortune - because your
products seem to last 3x longer than our usual stuff and best of all we haven't
suffered with any nasty rashes.
I Have also used your moisturising shampoo and the children's bath & shower
wash, and would recommend them to everyone, in fact I already have. If your like
me and think they are a bit on the expensive side, think again, they last 3x longer
and work 3x better, so basically it's cheaper in the long run, as well as kinder
to you and your children. I Have now gone completely 'green' at home, and my daughters
asthma seems a lot better. Its nice to know that I don't flood my child's system
with unnecessary chemicals. So thanks to you all at 'Green People".

"A few years ago out of the blue, I started having rashes on my neck, arms and around
my ears. Nothing I got from the doctors would stop it itching, it was driving me
mad, especially as it was in the summer and I couldn’t hide it.
After a long time thinking it was either due to the sunshine or trying to detect
if I was allergic to some foods I sent a sample of my hair of to be analysed and
the top item on the list was SLS which I had never taken any notice of. I was advised
immediately to stop using all my favourite products. This is where I came across
Green People and I have never looked back since. Thank you so much Green People."

"I was always having prescriptive creams which are supposed to be for 'sensitive
skin' but I react to them. As I have been getting older, I have noticed I'm becoming
more and more sensitive to cleaning products, toiletries and cosmetics. Then I found
Green People. As soon as I tried the Fruitful Nights cream my skin felt instantly
soothed, after just a few days of using the Gentle Cleanse, Hydrating Firming Serum and Day
Solution, my skin looked colourful, even rosy! It just felt soft and gorgeous!"
D. F. Leamington Spa
"I am writing to thank you for the excellent quality of your products. I think they
are very good value for money. The shampoo lasts longer than a lot of the cheaper
products. Your toiletries are also one of the few I can use as I am very sensitive
to chemicals. Thanks."

"Just a short note regarding your wonderful products that I have been using for
some months now. I have quite sensitive skin (lots of allergies) which makes sourcing
products that don't make my skin sore or spotty quite a challenge! I found your
web site by chance and haven't looked back. The products do exactly what they say
on the packet (what a refreshing change!), smell great and make my skin look clear
and feel great, an overall success I think!"

"SP25 Neutral/Scent Free Suntan Lotion The ONLY lotion I have
used where I have NEVER burnt and obtained a tan from almost nothing in 3 days (usually
takes me 2 weeks then it all flakes off!). The condition of my skin, elasticity
and general quality actually looks younger (I'm 43) it feels wonderful to put on
and it's the ONLY lotion amongst your others I would recommend. This is the one
time I have a fab tan..it's lasted and the whole family was fully protected.
Self Tan Lotion The absolutely best product for tanning
I have ever used. It glides on, feels gorgeous, lasts for ages (both on the body
and in the tube). Perfect colour with no patchiness and the bonus is that it has
actually improved the quality of my skin as, has the SPF22 neutral/scent free tan lotion.
Shampoos and Conditioners I have a Mobile Hair and
Beauty business and these shampoos last and last and they do exactly as prescribed!
I say prescribed, because anyone who has had a specific hair problem has been treated
effectively from day one. My whole family use them and they work MUCH better than
the usual varieties.
Aloe Vera Hand Lotion Best Hand lotion I have ever
used it glides on and sinks in and the elasticity of your skin is vastly improved
almost immediately. The ssential oils have a bonus effect, in that they release
the aromas as your skin warms and give you a little "lift".
Day Solution SPF15 You can actually FEEL the protective
qualities of this lotion working and as with ALL of your products they are a pleasure
to use and they all deliver their promise.
Eye Gel Although the eye gel looks like tiny tube,
it miraculously goes such a long way. I used a tiny blob and it covered both eyes.
It refreshes, protects and cools.
I can't stress enough how all Green Peoples products actually WORK and better than
anything else I have tried and at 43 I've tried everything under the sun and wish
I hadn't. I have two daughters and I encourage them to always use Green Peoples
Organic products. I run a Hair and Beauty Business using many of Green Peoples products.
I have website and try to encourage other people to go organic. There are massive
benefits to be had by using organics products and also eating organic food. I feel
better at 43 than I did in my twenties and look younger!!!! What the general public
don't realise is that organic is healing, but chemicals are damaging and all the
hype on TV, brainwashes people into believing chemical products work. No one would
NEED wrinkle creams if they used YOUR products to maintain their youth in the first
place. I can't praise your products enough!"

"I recently placed my first order with your company and want to express my appreciation
of your service, involving calling me regarding delivery, and your excellent products

deodorants, shampoo's etc again."
C. W. Southport
"I have been using your toiletries and skin care for about a month now and I must
confess they are a joy to use. Even my work colleagues have commented on my skin
and hair - 'How nice I look" - which is very boosting as I am a grandmother with
a 2 year old grandson. Thanks a million!"
E. R-J. Horsham
"I've been able to ditch all the medicated creams I used for my sensitive skin -
didn't need steroid creams, just needed the Green People! I rave about you to all
my friends and everyone has commented on how nice my skin looks these days, and
the products smell gorgeous too!"

Just thought I would let you know how impressed I was with your products when I
bought some at the Vitality Health and Beauty Show this year. I had been suffering
from very dry and flaky skin, which my regular shower gel and body lotions were
doing nothing to relieve.
I tried your Sensitive shower gel and rescue salve body lotion and after just
one use, the results were amazing. I am now a convert and can't wait to try some
more of your products!
N. E. Crawley
As you may have guessed, I am becoming a "Green People-oholic". I have sensitive
skin and now realise why so many products in the past, particularly shower gels,
have made my skin flaky and dry.
Your deodorants are the best I have ever used and do not stain my clothes. In the
past I have tried dozens. Even one which claimed to stop all perspiration for days
(not a good idea I now realise). It brought me out in an horrendous rash and when
I sent my (adverse) comments to the manufacturers they were so arrogant they simply
replied that it contained a particular chemical to which many people are allergic
and I was obviously one of them, refused to give me a refund and implied I should
not have bought it in the first place! Unfortunately I do not have a science degree
and did not have a clue of the ingredients until I had bought the product and they
were all gobblegook to me anyway.
I have pale skin and never tan - just burn. All the sun creams I have tried make
me itch and so I am confident that yours will be just what I am looking for. I must
admit that when I received Intensive Sun Cream I did use it as a night cream just
to see what would happen. Pleased to report not a single blemish the next morning.
Looking forward to some sun so that I can get full use out of it!
I received my order this morning and am looking forward to trying the cleanser.
I love your shower gels - they go even further if decanted into a dispenser - as
they are so gentle and do not dry out my skin.
I now have a whole "wardrobe" of your shampoos and conditioners. I really wish I
had discovered your products years ago. I have found your "Glossary" particularly
helpful in identifying chemicals which I should avoid. Keep up the good work.
C. B. by Email
I just wanted to say thankyou for your excellent service and I really love the products
too!!
I placed my order on Wednesday (31st) but as I am going on holiday Monday, I hadn't
allowed for the processing of the order. However, I called and spoke to one of your
team and explained my situation and I have received my products in time for my holiday.
I really appreciate the efforts that the team went to, to help me.

on my hands to search the internet and discovered you following a google search.
Thanks to your organic neutral/scent free 24hour cream, I am delighted to be able to wear
eyeshadow again - even ones with sparkly bits in! I will continue to use it for
the foreseeable future. I only wish it was available in a larger tube than 50ml
because I get through it at quite a rate.
Anyway, in short, I would like to say a huge thank you for your products.

"I first started using your products several years ago. And I am truly grateful
to you for creating such a fantastic range of lovely things to use. I still have
to choose carefully but my favourite is the children's factor 25 suncream which
I use on my face everyday to protect my skin from the sun and other nasties in the
air in the middle of London. And I am always trying to persuade friends and family
to try (my mum is a recent convert). I honestly don't know what I would do without
it, so please don't ever stop making it!
Thanks Green People - I am glad to see you go from strength to strength - keep up
the good work."

"I just wanted to say that earlier this year I discovered your products, and they
are fantastic! I have dry and sensitive skin, and ever since I can remember I've
been hunting for the perfect cream and didn't leave a greasy residue. In the end
I settled on vaseline intensive care, as the best cheap option. I always felt uncomfortable
using it - I HAD to moisturise, but I always felt as if long-term it was actually
drying my skin out more, and it felt so artifical.
As I got more health concious, I got more and more worried about using products
with artificial chemicals in, or that were petroleum based etc. My boyfriend had
been on a hunt for some natural non-antiperspirant deodorant for years and he bought
us both some when he discovered Green People. I soon bought body lotion, shower
gel and shampoo as well. After more then six months of using it, in different climates,
I have noticed a HUGE difference.
My skin feels totally different: my skin is still dry, but I actually feel human
without moisturiser, rather than a cracked scaly monster! And it feels so much nice
using it - such a relief from the constant onslaught of harsh scents and abrasive
products. I'd never known any different, really, but I could never go back to normal
toiletries now!
Keep up the amazing work. My only complaint is that it's really hard to get old
of in a lot of health outlets. Everyone seems to stock shelves and shelves of Jason
products, which simply aren't as good. And it's even harder to get hold of the organic
base range. Spread the word to stockists!"

I have just started using the Green People products. I can't get over how good your

I just needed to say how fantastic I think your porducts are. I am constantly recommending
you. We as a family have been using them for a long time now. This year I gave your
sun protection ago as my usual brand has come off the market. Wow great stuff, factor
15 a bit hard to rub in with damp skin, but what a lasting and deep colour, result
!
Overall you are a top company, great offers for regular customers to and brilliant
delivery times. Well done you really deserve an award!
L in Purley
I am new to your products and can honestly say that I am amazed by them. As I am
nearing 50, my usually dry skin is getting more of a problem. I have been cleansing,
toning and moisturizing since I was 14 years old so my skin has always been fairly
well looked after and I have always used very good quality products.
I have always been very 'green aware' doing the usual recycling, buying environmentally
friendly products and over the last year, I have tried to introduce more and more
organic food into my diet.
When I read about your products in a magazine recommendation, I decided to investigate
further as, the idea of absorbing chemicals through my skin as opposed to eating
them had, somehow, never occurred to me. I am horrified by what I have found out
since!!!
I quickly sent away for some of your products and I cannot believe how good they
are!!! My favorite one currently is 'Hydrating Firming Serum'. I have always had a slightly
'stripped away' feeling with my usual (fairly expensive) toner but assumed that
was the whole point and that my following moisturizer would be better absorbed by
this happening.
When I used your toner, I couldn't believe how just one application could make such
a difference. It really does remove traces of cleanser but manages to
moisturize at the same time. Also, I really felt my following moisturizer being
absorbed more thoroughly instead of some of it sitting on the surface of the
skin.
I am now TOTALLY hooked on your products and am gradually replacing all of my toiletries
with them. Thank you SO much for producing a good quality, sensibly priced range
of fantastic products. I am recommending them to anyone who will listen!
Yours delightedly,
J.T. North shields
PS. Your 'Help at Hand' cream is fantastic too!!!

F Organic Babies/Children testimonials |
I have recently had the pleasure of product testing the Organic Babies Range
on behalf of Generation One. The company profess all organic ingredients and therefore
less irritability to the skins natural balance.
My three and half year old son and eight month old had no cause to complain though
I cant say I really tested the tangle free shampoos claims to the max what with
having two boys.The shampoo itself was practical and smelt of lovely mild citrus
tones and a little went a long way. The Babywash was kind and gentle and gave a
nice lather on the skin. It didnt have any adverse reactions and nor did it dry
their skin as some supermarket brands can.
The bottom cream also lived up to its name though I have to say felt a little grainy
in the pot. It served us well and also seemed to clear up some of the skin problems on
my fingers too!!! (a complete suprise and bonus). In summary - a practical and no-fuss
everyday organic range that lives up to its claims.
J. M-D.
My daughters have used your children's range since they were babies and it's fabulous in every way. Anything else just triggers off their eczema and sensitivity. Your products have been a life saver for my girls and I recommend you to everyone!
AR – By Email.
What do you want in a baby soap/shampoo/nappy cream? I guess it’s not something
I’d thought much about, except that I really hate the fake "baby" smell of most
infant bath products and, like most parents, would rather feel that I’m using something
that’s genuinely good for my baby’s skin and preferably not going to damage the
planet too much.
Then I received my Green People samples and we have, as a family, been seduced by
their loveliness. They are, however, more expensive than many of their non-organic
equivalents, so maybe feel like a luxury rather than an essential when you’re on
maternity pay – though all the products last well and are quite concentrated, so
a little goes a long way. You definitely get quality - and they push that ethically-
aware, wanting-to-do-the-right- thing button which new parents are particularly
susceptible to! The gift pack would make a great present for new parents.

Sticky Hand Sanitiser
Testers loved the light consistency of the foam which was easy to dispense even
with one hand (very handy with a wriggly baby to deal with).
The even distribution of the foam avoids the need to use product in a concentrated
form. Testers also liked the fact that the cleanser dried quickly leaving the skin
lovely soft and moisturised.
The price tag is a little high, but a little does go a long way and with so many
uses the Organic Babies foaming cleanser really is a handy addition to a baby bag.
One Tester suggested using washable wipes with plain water to clean the nappy area
and finishing off with a squirt of the foam.
Here are some of the Testers’ comments:
• Knowing the ingredients were pure and free from harmful ingredients
• It is effective without being harsh
• Very easy to use with one hand because of the pump dispenser
• Lovely! Soft, smooth dries quickly and leaves skin soft, no residue
• It didn’t bother his skin and he is prone to nappy rash
• I didn’t think it would work so well on nappy changes so I was very pleased
• Me and my partner used it on our hands and found it very good
• Far and away exceeded my expectations, am impressed with its cleansing powers!
The Green People Company is known for its green credentials and ethical trading
– they donate 10% of their profits to ‘green’ issues.
All Testers agreed this is indeed a useful product for babies, toddlers and children.
Its antibacterial properties give added peace of mind.

full TIPS testing review
Thought it was a good idea - an organic product that's kind to the environment and
to your baby - and can double up to clean toys too. I did think the price could
be off-putting though. Website - Suffice to say it's now added to my Favourites!
Good range of products - I notice they are pushing things like their Foaming Hand
Sanitizer as a good weapon in the war against Swine Flu...I might buy some!....as
I'm not keen on alcohol based alternatives (too drying). Appearance of packaging
is distinctive and not over-fussy. It clearly states the ingredients and that it's
organic and contains no parabens or other nasties. The product itself is foam in
a convenient pump dispenser so nice and easy to dispense and use.Not a hard to use
product so it does exactly what it says on the can!
Easy to apply either straight onto hands or onto a cloth. The foam means that you
can't spill it. It has a pleasant "green", non-chemically sort of smell and it feels
nice too. It leaves no residue and is a natural product with no nasties in it, so
you don't need to wipe it off. This is just as effective when used with a cloth
to clean baby faces and bottoms and sticky toddler hands.
Useful as a hand cleanser too without a cloth, although this obviously doesn't remove
visible grime. Yes, skin felt really nice and soft and soothed. It's good for me
to use too, as constant hand washing with soap and water plus using alcohol-based
hand gels has really dried my hands out....I've got typical "mum" hands! I tested
it at home and out 'n' about and it's great to carry around in the nappy bag as
it can be used instead of wipes, as a hand cleanser and to clean plastic toys etc
too, so you really only do need one product.
My toddler hadn't seen a foaming cleanser before so the novelty value really appealed
and she wanted to clean her hands all the time! Confident using as states that it
is antibacterial so no worries there, even on sensitive skin. Good - the packaging
states that the ingredients are organic, natural and there are no sulphates, parabens
or artificial colours or fragrances in it which gives you confidence in its quality.My
initial impression was that £8.95 was scarily expensive! However having used it
I would say it offers better value for money than I first thought, as the foam lasts
a long time, compared to say £2 for a pack of wipes.
I will be buying this product and recommending to friends and family. Easy to use,
pleasant smelling, moisturising, antibacterial and versatile - an invaluable addition
to my baby bag - and it's organic, natural and fair traded too!
Alison with helpers Charlotte & Claudia, testing for Bizzie Baby.
Rated 4.5/5
My initial impression of this product is that it wouldn't be as good as it made
out to be. I was wrong. The website is simple to find your way around and is informative
about the products on offer. Packaging good (as it was descriptive and easily identifiable).
Instructions very straight forward and easy to understand. The foaming cleanser
is very simple and easy to use it squirts out easily and is very easy at removing
it, you can just simply rub it in to any surface and it just vanishes. I did use
it a few times on bum changes and it was as good as baby wipes for removal of delightful
little presents, but I do prefer baby wipes as you don’t need to use/take two items
with you its easier to just pull wipes out of a pack. When used on hands it removes
the stickiness well but remains a little sticky till it dries. Didn’t notice a difference
in the softness of my child’s skin. I used it both in the house and out the house
although after very sticky sweets e.g. lollies and chewitts I found you needed to
wipe with a cloth after using the cleanser. Yes it was easier to use the cleanser
after food as it was easier to clean between finger and those other nooks and crannies.
I felt confident that my child was as clean. Amazed how well it worked even on plastic
toys however it didn't work well on foam toys as the foam soaked it up too quick.
Bit expensive when living on a budget £8.95 makes it too expensive to use on a regular
basis. I would buy this product to keep in the car or somewhere you very rarely
need cleaning wipes e.g. this product would be great to keep in the glove box for
those unexpected messy situations. I would recommend to friends and family as I
was amazed on how well it worked. I didn't know where to mention but this product
didn't have any effect on my son’s eczema.
This product is quick and easy when the kids are dirty.
Kathleen with helpers David, Oliver & Toby, testing for Bizzie Baby. Rated
4.2/5
Like the website, products look good. Generally quite interested in organic/natural
skincare and cleansing as eldest child has eczema. Packaging is fine - practical
and clear but nothing special. The instructions are perfectly clear and understandable.
Easy to use but to be effective needed to use with a cloth or tissue so still needed
to carry something like this with me. Was as effective but only if used with a cloth
(only used for hand /face cleaning, not at nappy changes).
Used at home and when out, mostly when out for cleaning when no water available
e.g. in the park. Older child found foam great fun which made getting her to agree
to be cleaned easier! Also good for distracting after a fall, using foam to clean
off any mud / dirt, usually stopped any crying. Not always, sometimes still felt
a bit sticky even if no obvious dirt left. But only if can find stockist without
having to pay p & p or if ordering other items at same time. Would tell people
about it, probably not going to be evangelical about it though and would describe
it as an indulgence rather than an essential.
Good quality and practical but some limitations and not cheap.

"Your products are great, I first found them when my little girl was a baby 3 years
ago, while trying to find some natural products for her. Since then I have not looked
back, we all use your products and I have never been disappointed. Our hairdresser
always comments how soft and conditioned our hair is and your products smell beautiful.
The really great thing about Green People products is that they are so versatile,
particuarly the Baby Range. If we go away I take a tube of Baby Wash and use if
for facial cleansing, bathing, showering and hairwashing - we only need 1 product!
Cost effective too - you hardly need to use much at all.
Thank you for giving us a choice to have natural products that work brilliantly."

"Our daughter is 2. Her hair is very fine and was getting so dry it constantly tangled
and was looking so wild, other people were commenting. Every time we combed (twice
a day), the comb got stuck! We decided to try the Babywash initially because we
have been told to use no soap by our GP. That worked fine, so we thought we would
progress to the shampoo and a trial-size of the family aloe vera conditioner.
We have now realised most of our problem was using a commercial baby shampoo - it
was just too drying for her hair and scalp. We saw instant results using this shampoo
and we like that it does not contain SLS or parabens. Her hair now looks like something
from a TV shampoo advert - clean, shiny and no knots or tangles. Baby has taken
to standing in front her mirror, after hairbrushing in the morning, patting her
hair and saying "boo-ful" to her reflection."

I thought this was excellent. My daughter’s skin (which is prone to eczema) was
silky soft after her bath. This cleans perfectly and is very easy to apply. All
you have to do is add to running water. I must admit you did seem to have to add
quite a bit to get sufficient foam in the bath, even though this was concentrated.
This was a nice bath wash and tear free. Isabella’s skin was lovely and soft after
her bath. I must admit I was really amazed how soft if left her skin feeling. This
is a good quality product but feel slightly expensive as will not last for long.
This is brilliant for sensitive skin. I have used a wide range of organic products
on Isabella but they still left her skin feeling dry, this product was superb. It
was really great too use a mild product with natural ingredients.

Dear Green People Team,
We'd like to say thank you very much for your fantastic product: Organic Babies,

We searched all shops in the UK and found this one and surprisingly, after 3 days

we were very relieved.
Thank you very much for developing this type of Organic product and we will definitely
recommend it to our friends.

even a soap) that I could safely wash my children with. I finally came across your

G Organic Sun testimonials |
I must commend and recommend your most fantastic sun tan lotion and after sun products.
I have recently just returned from Petra and the Red Sea and found these products
quite fantastic. I developed a lovely tan in no time at all in spite of arriving
with a winter 'white' skin. I have an allergy to suntan products and I had no reaction
to these products at all. No redness or peeling. Definitely will be ordering more
when I run out.
A, by email
I bought some of your sun screens last year and thought it was fantastic, I would
buy them again as it was the first time that i have not suffered from some kind
of sun induced allergy. I should also add that for a number of years i have experienced
white patches after i tan, I do tan well but have this condition which means that
I develop white patches afterwards yet after using your products this didn't happen
either, for the first time in years I had a sun tan that lasted and I didn't burn
either.
I will be purchasing some more of your after sun this year as I used it all up once
I returned last year. Fantastic product and great smell.
Thanks very much
T.S. by email
I’m writing to let you know that for the first time since I don’t know when I can

baby wash and top to toe [Aloe Vera Lotion & After Sun]. What great products, my little boy's skin is fantastic!
We normally have trouble with prickly heat when we apply suncream but not with yours.

Your Sun Lotion is excellent - I have very sensitive skin and have not been burned
once, but I do get a nice tan.

I have never written to a manufacturer in praise before, but have to say
how wonderful this product is.
It's the first I've ever been able to use on my face, it's a pleasure to apply and
very effective. I've just ordered three more tubes for upcoming holiday.
Thanks you Greenies!

"I'm very impressed with this sun tan lotion - I'm a sports photographer & have
to sit out in the sun all day long - I've just done 5 days at the 3rd Test match
cricket at Old Trafford in blazing sunshine, sitting out in it every day from 10am
till 7pm. Due to the nature of my work I have no choice but to sit in the sun in
the hours normally recommended to stay in the shade, and normally the first really
hot week leaves my arms a little reddened even with regular applications of suntan
cream. This year there's no trace of red at all. I've renewed the cream every 2-3
hours and it's the first time I haven't gone even the slightest bit red, so thank
you!
I'll be sticking with this cream from now on!"

ROZ SAVAGE TRIUMPHANTLY COMPLETES SOLO TRANSATLANTIC ROW AFTER 103 DAYS AT SEA -
ONLY SOLO FEMALE OCEAN ROWER TO COMPETE IN 2005 ATLANTIC ROWING RACE...
'The ocean is an unforgiving environment and the elements can take their toll. I'm
fair-skinned so sunburn was a major worry, but Green People's sun cream worked impressively
well and I arrived in Antigua with my best tan ever. The Atlantic row was the first
leg of The Voyage, an environmentally low-impact journey around the world, so it
was important to me that my skincare products should be friendly to the environment
as well as my body.'
Roz Savage, Solo Transatlantic rower
"Being sponsored by Green People was a huge help on our cycling expedition in Australia.
While we were riding day after day through the 'Red Centre' the sun creams and after-sun
lotion protected us extremely well against the strong desert sun and also worked
well as moisturisers in the very dry air. When I got home to the UK friends said
I wasn't as brown as they'd thought I would be, considering I'd been cycling for
over four months. Clearly the sun protection factors were working very well! Thanks
to everyone at Green People for your support."

"For many years I was always worried when the summer months arrived. I know how
important it is to protect the skin from the sun's rays but I had to keep washing
off the sun lotions I bought at the chemists because the chemicals made my face
and skin itch all the time. Now I use Green People sun lotions, I even use them
on my face and hands during the cold months. No itching and no sore patches anymore,
I only wish I had found these products years ago."

"This year I purchased your sun care products to go on holiday with and was delighted
with the level of protection they gave me. I am extremely fair skinned and was exposed
to temperatures of 90°c plus for two weeks and never once did I burn! In fact I
came back a slight honey colour. Thanks for you great suncare cream."

"You really deserve a big thank you for your sun lotion . Not only was it great
protection for my reddish-blonde seven year old daughter but even my husband commented
on the nice quality and feel of the cream. So a very big thank you!"

"Love your products! I have fair skin and your sun creams are amazing - I have just
returned from a sunny break and have never had such great colour - without burning
at all. Your deodorant worked in the hot climate too!"

"To let you know how fantastic your suntan products are. I've recently spent a week
in very hot France, and for the first time, I used your factors 25 and 15 and after
sun lotion. The result was a fantastic holiday, a fantastic tan, no sunburn, and
I didn't have to take any tablets. I'm already converted to your skin products,
I'm now converted to your sun products too. Thanks to everyone!"
S. M. York
"I've just got back from 2 weeks in St Lucia (booooo) and would like to thank you
for your fabulous sun lotion and after sun. I purchased your creams and they were
delivered promptly and they worked a treat and made my holiday much more enjoyable.
It also improved my tan and I'm getting many dirty looks from my very very pale
work colleagues. They also smelt fantastic. Thanks again for a brilliant product
and I will be buying more for my next trip abroad."

"What a joy to be able to enjoy the sunshine & gain a moderate tan without having
to cover up or stay in the shade just a few days into my holidays. 10 days of freedom
to enjoy myself in comfort. I also thought the After Sun lotion had a great cooling
effect on the skin just as promised. It also has a wonderful smell which is a bonus.
My partner suffered from a sunburned back so I let him use my Green People after
sun - he only wanted to use this for the rest of the holiday!
I will be recommending your products - the after sun especially is great for everyone
even if they are not normally into 'organic products'.
Thanks for helping me have a great holiday in the sun."

"I have just returned from two weeks holiday in Cyprus where the average daily temp
was 30 degrees. I have very fair and very sensitive skin. I have tried all sorts
of different sun creams over the years but to no avail then this year I happened
to come across your website and thought i would give your creams a try, WOW!!! I
was amazed and delighted and have come home with my best tan ever! Your cooling
after sun is lovely as well and smells really nice. I am so thrilled to have last
found something that works for me, I am hopefully going abroad again this christmas
so will be definitely be placing another order with you. Thanking you so much."

"Hello, We have been using your Organic Suncreams for our family for a few years
now. They are more expensive than the non-organic suncreams, but well worth it not
having to worry about what's in the suncream. We went on holiday with family and
friends in May (2006).
One family there had a Special Needs (Red head) toddler, who had very sensitive
skin. They had tried many various suncreams but they all made his skin suffer terribly.
However, despite our Organic Suncream being ridiculed (very prejudicially) by another
adult of the group, they thought they'd try the Organic one.
We posted them some of our (your) Organic Children's Suncream straight after the
holiday and - they said it had worked wonderfully, and that it had stopped the sunburn
and the skin was fine. They were very pleased to have found a Children's Suncream
that, at long last, had worked for their child who had such sensitive skin."
C. G. by Email
"I must write to tell you about Green People saving my holidays for now and ever
more! I always had the problem that going on holiday I could never find a cream
or lotion without a sunscreen that I could use without ending up looking like the
monster from some very far off land!
When I went to the Domican Republic last year I decided to buy the suncreams and
aftersun and try them out....What did I have to lose? WELL how fantastic was that
holiday! I looked normal! I got a lovely tan which I didnt lose from shedding and
it was even because I wasn't scratching my skin off every night, it was amazing.
I now recommend the suncreams to all my friends who have skin problems because we
are worth it!"

Thank you so much for sending the samples to me. I have tried the neutral/scent free one on
my daughter and so far there is no reaction which is brilliant.
May I say that I wrote to several companies who supply organic sun screens and you
were the only company that helped. Needless to say (fingers crossed ) that I shall
be ordering through you AND recommending you to my friends.

My favourite product has to be your child’s sun cream. I suffer with terrible eczema
on my hands and used to apply chemical based sun cream to my daughters wearing gloves
because of the agony I suffered with just touching the chemical based creams.I also
noticed that my daughter’s eyes would stream with tears after applying it. I spent
a fortune trying out different creams, even trying the so called ‘child friendly
sensitive creams’ but nothing worked. The pharmacist told me that my daughters suffered
with hay fever, but I knew it was the sun cream.
Eventually I came across your sun cream, I now apply this without using gloves (pain
free!) and my daughters eyes no longer water, and the protection is excellent, we
live in Cornwall so spend a lot of time at the beach.

"Just had to write a quick note, having recently returned from a short break away in the Caribbean ie: very hot climate. I used your SPF 15 sun lotion and after sun lotion for the first time and I was simply amazed at how my skin looks and feels. I did not burn at all and I used the after sun lotion at the end of each day and my skin has never felt so soft and moisturised. I was truly amazed that after a long flight back to the UK I had no dry skin at all on my body which I always have immediately after the flight and at least for a few days.
I already use other of your skin care products but will certainly be recommending the sun care range to my friends.
Thank you Green People for my lovely tanned, smooth looking skin."

F Sensitive - Neutral/Scent Free testimonials |
I just want to say a big big thank you.I have had problems with my skin for years!
I am 44 years old Lady.
My dermatologist, has tested me with skin patches, and says i am abnormally sensitive
to lots of products ie: All personal cleansing products, fragrances, chemicals,
deodorants, soaps, detergents,etc etc..The list is endless.
I have wasted time and money to only find that they react to my skin terribly. It
got to the stage that i could not even bath properlyand cleanse myself, that i couldn't
keep it in any longer, and cried.
I was truly depressed at the whole situation, That is up till NOW!
I found out just by coincidence a booklet came through my door, and i saw your products!!
At first i thought GREAT...i will order, but after second thoughts i thought..
No, how many other products have claimed that their creams will help!! I then thought,
you just never know..
I then purchased, 24hr moisturiser, body and hand cream, and hand soap, all in the
neutral/scent free range. And in just one week my skin is beautiful..My skin is breathing
NATURALLY.
The pores are starting to make natural oils, itself, and I am getting my elasticity
back and great complexion ALL IN ONE WEEK!!My husband says i even look younger..
I wish to THANK YOU, tremendously, for the time and effort in producing, good, safe,
natural organic products, that truly benefit those who use it.
I am truly truly grateful

"Thanks to Google, I finally found what has proved to be the cause of my problems
- sodium lauryl sulphate. A little more research and I found you, and your Organic
Base range, and I am, needless to say, a convert, and am appalled that such a chemical
seems to be in every soap product I come across."

J Organic make-up testimonials |
“The new Green People make-up is fantastic - I now use the foundation and the mascara
every day! The mascara is fantastic - it doesn't clog and I was able to put on a
second coat before going out - usually my lashes are clumped up and I wouldn't be
able to consider a second coat. And the foundation doesn't make my skin feel tingly
like most other mineral foundations do. I won't be using anything else from now
on!”
Katrina Ashford, Editor & Executive of Highland Life Magazines
"I trust green people with my sensitive skin and was so pleased to see you recently
brought out a cosmetics line. I am completely blown away by the results I have had
with this range, the ease of use, effectiveness, quality and price – you always
get it right and are now my one stop shop for high quality, natural skin and hair
care and cosmetics too - perfect.
I wanted to let you know about my experience of this fab new line so I can hopefully
encourage others to try it too and I always love to read other people’s testimonials
on your website. It is so fantastic for me and I don’t think I could have had something
better made if I had sat with someone to colour match me and ask what my favourite
textures are. I really do love it and it has made my make-up routine quicker and
easier and I feel I look so much better too which has done wonders for my confidence.
The mineral foundation is fantastic firstly because it is pressed (very convenient)
and has an SPF of 15, reason to give it a go I thought not necessarily expecting
it to be better than anything I was already using but it is, it is without a shadow
of a doubt the best foundation I have ever used and I have purchased them up to
the £40 price point these being some of the well known mineral make-up lines. I
love the colour, I got fab, speedy, friendly advice as always with Green People
and went for the honey. I have a fair pink toned skin so this is recommended for
me, I read the information you had put on the website too and it was really helpful.
At first I thought this was a tad dark but it isn’t, it is the perfect colour for
me and isn’t full of light reflecting shimmer so looks realistic, natural and flawless.
The colour I was using before was in fact far too pale and I have a much more natural
colour now. It lasts all day too and to quantify this I put it on at 6am, work all
day in a busy sometimes too hot or too cold office to when I remove it about 14
hours later. It is effortless to apply . I use a kabuki brush I already own . I
put it in the foundation pan and twist and this tiny amount is enough to cover my
face because the quality is fantastic and it is so highly pigmented. If I have any
redder areas which I sometimes do I use a small brush and put a little more on that
area. My skin texture looks slightly more refined too. It really is amazing and
my other foundation is now redundant. I look so much better and can’t believe the
difference in how much more polished I look.
I use the foundation with a little of the nude concealer underneath which is also
perfect for me. I also use this as an eyeshadow base as it isn’t too greasy but
warms nicely on the fingertips and spreads really well.
The eco eyes compact is absolutely divine. I don’t usually purchase brown/neutral
shades but decided to try it and I am so pleased I did, I’ve used only this since
I got it for work and going out as it is so versatile. The shades really bring out
my green eyes, they aren’t too yellow, orange or red toned neutrals and are just
gorgeous. The shades all have a beautiful shimmer, feel smooth on the skin and are
really fantastically pigment rich, even the paler shades which is rare, they are
the most flattering neutrals I have ever used and are so easy to glam up or go for
a really natural look. With a little of the nude concealer underneath they last
all day.
If I could have one absolute favourite (although I love all of the make-up range
I have tried) it would have to be the mascara. This is amazing, it is easy to apply,
makes my lashes longer and thicker looking , doesn’t smudge or clump and again lasts
all day. It is also really easy to remove with any of your cleansers and if it could
get any better, It’s a great price too.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU GREEN PEOPLE FOR THIS FANTASTIC NEW RANGE I HOPE
ITS A SUCCESS AND I AM SURE IT WILL BE.

The pressed powder [Honey] goes on as light as a feather but covers up well. The
texture is so fine that you don’t really feel like you are wearing anything at all.
Ever since I have been using this product, one of my friends always comments on
how great my skin looks. This one is a keeper for me! I love it
This compact is also available for teenage skin, it’s the same ingredients just
in different packaging to appeal to the younger girls. I would thoroughly recommend
that teenagers wear this rather than the cheap junk they can get at the chemist
of supermarket.
Green People’s new Black Mascara is going to be a really good seller for them I
think. Firstly the price is great for something this quality. It is a very rich
black and has a good wand, nothing fancy just the typical shape that I think is
still really the best way to apply. I apply three coats and if you wanted to try
and make lashes really stand out what you can do is put some powder (mineral of
course) on the tips of your lashes (use a dry clean mascara applicator for this)
so that they get coated with the mascara and become really thick. There are other
mascaras that do this - the double ended ones but you dont want to use them as the
chemicals on that are terrible!
I had NO idea that some mascaras have mercury in them!!! this is one of the worst
toxins known to man - its everywhere these days, in our vaccines, in fish and seafood
(because of car pollution and general environmental pollution)and I do not want
to use any products with this in! Thankfully Green People know about this dreadful
chemical and have made sure they do not include it in their formulas!
I am super impressed with the makeup range so far from Green People! If you see
it in your local health food store, make sure you go and try some on!

"I was very wary of ordering lipstick without seeing its actual colour. However,
I am glad I did so because I love it. The smell is gorgeous, it stays on a lot longer
than many and the colour is just right."
