I have been asked by a few people I know to create a go
to list of the eco/ cruelty free brands that we have used or use in our home
and where you can get them…. So here it goes.
Beauty Brands
GOSH Cosmetics- available
at Edgars, Red Square
A UK based cosmetics brand on the middle scale of
pricing, cruelty free and organic.
Essence Cosmetics-
available at Dischem, Edgars and Red Square
A really well priced cosmetics brand, I personally use on
a daily basis, both cruelty free and organic, most of their products are even
vegan as well
A UK born cosmetics/ body brand that sells everything
from shampoo to deodorant, bath bombs and make- up, I absolutely adore this
brand it is cruelty free, organic and some of the products are vegan- we make
use of their soaps, lotions, bath goodies and shampoo bars.
You can shop online or go to one of their locally located
branches- see website for locations
Household Products
Ecover - available at Dischem, Spar
and wellness warehouse
A cruelty free/ organic household cleaning brand based in
the UK, I use their dishwashing liquid and their oxy bleach
Earth sap - available at Dischem, Spar and wellness
warehouse
A cruelty free/ organic household cleaning brand, I
personally have used and still use their laundry liquid and all-purpose
cleaner.
Enchantrix- available at
Dischem, Spar and wellness warehouse
A cruelty free/ organic household cleaning brand, I
personally use their laundry liquid, but they have a whole range of products
including baby products and all but their baby bum wax is vegan.
Baby/ Kids Brands
Pure Beginnings -
available at wellness warehouse and online
I absolutely adore this baby product range especially
their baby wash, hand wash and toothpaste.
Oh Lief - available at Wellness
Warehouse and online
A local baby product range- I absolutely love their
insect repellent for babies
Cherubs - Eco wipes - available
from most baby stores
I love these wipes; they are eco-friendly and great for
sensitive skin
Jet- natural water wipes - available from jet stores
I recently found this wipes and love them they are 99%
water and 1 % fruit based so great for sensitive skin and the environment.
Cloth Nappies
I have quite a range of cloth diapers in my stash for
Jesse but the 3 below are my favourite and are all local.
Fancy Pants - available at wellness warehouse
and online
Eco Nappy Solutions - available online
Poopsy Daisy Bum Wraps - available online
Baby Food
Organic baby food range that tastes so amazing- available from most baby stores, checkers and pick n pay
Jesse preferred Hipp but I really liked this local range
as well- available from woolworths and most baby stores
Organic Cotton clothing for kids- really basic colours
and styles- quite high end price wise unless you go to the factory shop then
you can pick up items for as little as R30.
There are obviously loads more brands out there, I am
still discovering new ones every day, but I really love these brands and I have
found that I can afford them even on a very strict budget, even though the
prices may seem more the products tend to go a lot further than the chemical
ones and are more gentle on sensitive skin, and of course better on the
environment.
