Did you know that many high street beauty products, whilst advertising the fact they have ‘natural’ active ingredients, actually contain as little as 6% of the ingredient they cite? And that’s not to mention the added preservatives, synthetic fragrances and petrochemical derived mineral oils. Not sounding so tempting now are they.
Here at Smart Sussex we aim to promote organic, cruelty and chemical free beauty and were delighted to welcome Greenpeople on board the Smart Sussex Passport scheme. Based in West Grinstead in Sussex, their skincare products contain 90% active ingredients. So it’s no wonder they have been receiving rave reviews and endorsements from such luminaries as Darryl Hannah and Janey Lee Grace Winners of handfuls of awards, including the 2008 Natural Health & Beauty Awards, Greenpeople products are a result of more than 10 years intensive study and passion to create the best and most effective organic skincare range available.
It all began with a two-year old girl who couldn't stop scratching herself. Sandra was just one of many millions of children suffering from eczema and severe allergies.
Founder Charlotte Vohtz explains; "The Green People Company was formed as a direct result of my experiences in finding an effective treatment for my daughter Sandra". Taking a herbal cleansing tonic - Hawthorn & Artichoke Formula from a leading international herbalist, supplementing with Omega 3 & 6 essential fatty acids and the elimination of chemical based products in our home cleared up her allergies. "From that moment, I realised that we all are children of the chemical age and that man-made chemicals found everywhere, combined with changing dietary habits, profoundly affect us all." "With a nursing background, knowledge of herbal medicine, and more than 11 years of experience within the pharmaceutical industry, I decided to take action."
Intensive product development took place from December 1995 to April 1997. The Green People Company Ltd. launched their first organic health and beauty products into UK health stores in August 1997 Today their range runs into hundreds of products. They believe in complete disclosure and name all product ingredients not only on the packaging but also on the website before you buy. Most of the range is registered with the Vegan society and certified organic.
