30 Brands I use (instead of 20 things about me)

Comment Published at 20:0020:008 comments8 comments30 Visits30 VisitsReport

I try whenever I can to go green or organic, especially when a solution comes up...but want to know more about eco-green products before I spend money to switch...

Brands available in Australia...

Fiesta (less chemical smell clothes whitener safe for coloureds) - better than napisan

Harvey Fresh - local West Aussie brand I think

Natural Food Confectionary (treats candy/lollies) - a must for any children sensitive to food colouring or preservatives

Amolin (a little pricey but very concentrated front loader or top) - for any family with allergies

Huggies nappy pants - but I have tried all the organic, biodegradable nappies - the one I liked was discontinued

Pantene - just because it doesn't make my hair fizzy - as I never hair dry my hair only if I really need to

Earth Choice - I totally love for dish-washing liquid (not harsh on hands, totally eco-green)

Earth Works - for cleaning products in the house (sparingly) as well as baking soda

Organic Collective - vege delivery every two weeks (priced cheaper than Coles)

Cobs Organic popcorn - occasionally, plain flavour

Campbells real stock - i am a big soup maker with so little time

Heinz - really only for low salt baked beans and tomato soup (back up meals)

Purell with aloe vera - antibacterial gel (the only product that doesn't insanely dry out my fingers)

Heron - for kids multi-vitamins (although I miss the US gummy bears multi-vitamin that had the Omega3's (burstlets dont work)

Brauer - for teething, colic, colds (great natural and for us it works)

Rosella - for tomato sauce

San Remo - pasta

Sun Rice - for rice

Nerada - pesticide free tea

Planet Organic - camomile and green tea

Molenberg bread - can't say enough that after all the breads this works for us, the only wholegrain bread the kids will eat

Farmhouse bread - preservative free white bread

Artisse Organic - lollipops (www.artisse.com.au)

Arnotts Arrowroot biscuits

Sunbeam sultanas

Anchor - for all types of flour

Betta - Natural kiddies icecream cones

Bulla - frozen yoghurt (we use to replace icecream)

Frosty Fruits - natural flavours/colours

Lurpak - i buy the refills and reuse the container (a little treat, as its pricey, but the only butter that my kids can't tell is there)

Well the one's I recognise are Lurpak,yummy. Huggies, Pantene, Heinz and Campbells. Not a Pantene girl, leaves a residue in my hair, despite rinsing and rinsing,LOL Huggie's were the wrong shape for my big hipped babies,hehe. Heinz, well got to have a tin or two in for emergencies ;). Cambells real stock is a new one on me, must have a look out for that and give it a go if they do it here. We too love our soup, but making stock can be time consuming, so thank's for the pointer.

Thanks for the insight, could make an interesting tag,LOL.

Luv.Winnie.xxxx

I have the same problem with Pantene! Drives me mad so I gave up on it.

Brauers is fantastic!

Aware Sensitive for laundry and washing clothes is brillant. It cost a bit more but it's great for allergies! It has no harsh chemicals and stuff.

It wouldn't let me leave the link in the last message,  as I write a few lines in a message the toolbar just disappears.

 Earth Choice have a great product range that is eco- friendly.

Bath & Shower

Hair care ( I'm still a Pantene girl )

Skincare

Household Cleaning.

Earth Choice Woolwash , I find is great for knit wear, quilts & blankets...leaving them with a lovely fresh scent. Here in NSW, I can buy a bottle for $2.70
