Organic Monkey products not just for your little ones....

In this cold weather, all the mums I know are suffering from buggy hands - dry, cracked, sore hands from pushing their little ones in the wind and rain. I have been using our 'Bum Fluff' Nappy Balm on my hands to protect them from the elements and I have to say, its doing a brilliant job -  keeping my skin soft and supple!

New Product range coming April 2010

We use a select range of organic, pure and fairtrade ingredients to create our collection, designed specifically for the newest and most sensitive of skins.

Coming soon...
We are extending our baby range and introducing a selection of products aimed at toddlers and small children.

Mixing it up!

So for a few months now we have been hiding away in our kitchen mixing up different smells and lotions to create the perfect baby moisturiser. Its a relatively straightforward process which, if you know what you’re doing is really satisfying. Trying to combine the right smells with the safe Organic ingredients is a long process though. Once we started mixing our creams we became more and more meticulous about the textures and smells. More than we thought we’d be but its got to be perfect hasn’t it?!
The adding of the aromatherapy oils has been our hardest task. Not because its hard mixing in the oils, but sometimes we just cant decide on a smell! Theres so many lovely organic oils out there, and we have most of them in our little apothecary box but after a while our noses need neutralizing so we can start again! We think we have chosen some gorgeous smells and aromas to compliment our products, some of which weve all heard of and smelt before and some that we hope people will be suprised with…

Fairtrade

Organic Monkey Ltd had a successful meeting at the Fairtrade Foundation in London this week who provisionally approved six of their products which will mean that they are first company in the UK to produce certified Fairtrade baby products!

Such an exciting moment for us. We are finalising packaging and have the Chemist approving our batches and then were off!!!… We cant wait to see it on the shelves.

So we have our first delivery of packaging for our products. Now it feels real!

Cleanser bottles arrived!

We received the bottles that will contain our Baby Cleanser, an exciting product that we think will be used again and again by all the parents out there looking for an all-in-one cleanser for the bath.

The bottles are made out of PET which are manufactured from recycled post consumer regrind (PCR) raw materials.

PCR is a resin that has been previously used in commercial consumer applications such as the manufacturing of mineral water bottles, shampoo bottles etc. which have then been collected, recycled, cleaned, pelletized and reused in the manufacture of new bottles and jars. This reduces the depletion of new fossil fuels and helps create a sustainable packaging solution. We are trying to create a line of products that is safe, not only for babies and children but also to our environment.
