Who:Dandydill Way
What:Luxury Natural Skincare for Children
Why:
This UK made, natural skincare range, that contains a unique botanical extract of British hawthorn berries picked by a professional forager no less, really excited our judges who loved the obvious passion behind the brand, the lovely clean smell of the products and the classic chic packaging.
The panel was impressed to learn that all the packaging is recycled and recyclable adding to the gentle and sustainable nature of the brand.
The products have a grown-up look and feel that will appeal to children. The Cleansing Mousse, Liquid Powder and Eau de Toilette are perfectly pitched for children looking to build up their own little bathroom shelf. It’s fascinating to learn that the hawthorn berries used across the range are picked by a professional forager around Herefordshire and the Welsh Borders every summer - this really speaks to its natural, home-grown appeal.
I’ve seen these products on Harper Beckham’s shelf and I know that they would add a touch a luxury to any child’s bath and skincare routine.
Absolutely beautiful, sustainable products, made from natural ingredients in the UK. The products smell absolutely divine and the packaging looks so chic. One of my favourite go-to's.
The freshest smell that isn’t too overpowering and I absolutely love the apothecary inspired packaging. Proud shelfies ahead!
Who:Rowdy Kind
What:Plastic free sustainable skincare for kids
Why:
Dubbed the first truly sustainable skincare brand for kids, Rowdy Kind (we love the name!) is handmade in the UK from the highest quality ethical ingredients, with kids’ sensitive skin in mind.
Our judges loved the simple pressed wash bars, moisturisers and cute bath bombs, which not only make bath time feel really fun but show kids that caring for the planet doesn’t have to be boring and should definitely start at home. Sulphate, paraben and PEG free, perfectly pH balanced, as well as being cruelty free and vegan – this brand impressed on so many levels.
Such a feel-good brand - the colour, smells and impeccable sustainability credentials. In terms of product performance, the solid format doesn’t feel like a compromise. In fact, it encourages children to be more independent and proactive at bathtime. I have to give a special mention for the two-bar soap dish, which would look lovely in any bathroom.
Such a fantastic brand that melds eco-friendly and effective products with a big hit of bathtime fun. I love the new addition of the lettered bath bombs!
Great concept.
Who:Mini U
What:Bathtime fun for kids
Why:
Our judges thought this kid’s bathtime brand was super fun, giving children something to really look forward to in the tub! Despite the vivid lab potion colours (which, of course kids will love) the panel was excited to learn that this range is vegan, cruelty-free, free from gluten, soy and dairy is made with naturally derived ingredients.
With great names like Fizzy Plops and Raspberry Bubblegum bath bubbles, these products are made with a child’s imagination firmly at the fore and our judges agreed that the combination of fun packaging, great names and the interactive quality of these products (who doesn’t love a bath crayon?!) made these perfect for home and as gifts for friends.
Really fills a gap in the market for fun bathtime treats that kids can get messy with - and then clean! Love the new packaging design too.
A fun and broad range of products offering parents good value for money. It ticks lots of free-from boxes, too - gluten, soy, dairy and it’s allergen free, as well as being vegan and cruelty-free. I suggest stocking up on the Bath Crayons and Fizzy Plops for birthday gifts…
This is the way to entice young children into the bath! A really well thought out range that children will adore.
