organic●ally™ has been a strong supporter of the cloth nappy 'movement'. Incidentally, Siew-Peng's son was asked - TWICE - to model for a large disposable nappy brand in China.

Imagine: more than one billion people, and all the parents of young babies switching from traditionally accepted cloth nappies to disposables. How could her son, in 20 years' time, say, live with the reputation (and guilt?) of having his face (and bum) plastered all over billboards in China, to persuade the Chinese to do something so fundamentally harmful to the environment?

Siew-Peng quickly sacked the modelling agency as they obviously did not understand what "no disposable nappy assignments" meant.

If you are already using cloth nappies, what are a couple more wipes to put in the wash instead of throwing more disposable (but not biodegradable) wipes into landfills?

We started stocking the reusable organic cotton cosmetic pads in response to customer demand. As Siew-Peng does not use make-up she did not realize how these could make a difference to the environment. We then worked with Hankettes to come up with the cloth bag instead of plastic packaging to hold the cosmetic pads. The bags are useful in storing as well as laundering the pads.

More recently we introduced a version of made-in-UK cosmetic pads.

Organic Cotton Wet Wipes If you're already using cloth nappies, why not also use cloth wet wipes? Better still, use these pesticide-free organic cotton ones with full confidence. Just as handy as conventional wet wipes, but without the harsh perfumes and petrochemicals. In natural colour, 10” by 10”, with delightful mint green edging (comes without packaging).

Reusable Cosmetic Squares The pads are made of two layers of natural organic cotton flannel for applying and removing makeup, toner, etc. They can be used regularly in place of single-use cotton pads. 3”x3” squares. Pack of 10. To buy in UK/Europe click here. To buy in Canada/North America, click here.

made-in-UK Cosmetic Pads These pads are similar to the Hankettes ones but made using the Soil Association certified flannel that we managed to source locally. The fabric is slightly more "fuzzy", but much of this "fuzz" would shed after a few washes Pack of 10 miUK pads is only £6.50. Buy Two Packs for £12.00 and save £1.00.
