chrisnrob Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I don't think you'll find them in the big shops You might find them in a local healthfood type shop. Failing that, there's a few places online you can get them. We have used both of these: http://www.faithinnature.co.uk/index.asp http://www.greenpeople.co.uk/ Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Waitrose is starting to stock some greener products, so you might find something there. I just order mine online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisnrob Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Thanks for the links Rob. I have just spent a small fortune on both of the sites LOL Just wait until you decide to start bulk-buying them in 5L containers - then you really do spend a fortune What did you order in the end?

ali-s Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I did consider the 5 litre containers I've ordered soaps,liquid soaps, shampoos, conditioners, moisturisers, lip balms, handcreams, deodourant, erm? something else and I think something else If I like these products I will buy in bulk to save some cash Going back shopping today to buy some laundry items, which I should have done last night as one of the sites had free postage on the first order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnrob Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 How did you get on with the laundry items? If you do decide to start getting the 5 litre containers then you'll find it easier if you also get the pumps to go with them (it's much easier than trying to pour!) I searched around and found that the cheapest place was actually Faith In Nature where they're £3 each. There's some on eBay for about £10!! Let us know what you think of the products once you start using them Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I didn't order any laundry items in the end. I received an email from one of the companies regarding the postage to me. As I do not live on the UK mainland (I do actually) they have hammered with with the postage costs. Will try and source items locally Its not easy being green and certainly not cheap if you live north of Glasgow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnrob Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Its not easy being green and certainly not cheap if you live north of Glasgow You can have them sent to me and I'll post them on to you at the 'real' cost if you like? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Thanks for the lovely offer I have found a place quite near to me so I will try them out next time. The original postage for my order was £3.50, this jumped to £9.50 because of my location. I wonder if folks 'down South' have to pay extra postage if they ever order anything from 'up North' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Ali for lovely skin stuff - try AKamuti online - they are so good and fast delivery and do not take the p*** because we are in scotland and yes we are on the mainland too.

Milly Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I know Waitrose is rare in Scotland, but their own brand toothpaste is SLS free (and cheap). Milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keanie Bean Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I work in Sainsburies and they do a small range of thier own brand paraben free shampoos and conditioners. These tend to be avaliable in the largest of stores only though, so you might have to travel. There pretty good though and are only £1.99 each but regularly appear on offers, I like them and stock up when they are on offer.
