We’re helping cut the hours of internet scrolling and high street shopping to find the perfect gift for the littlest eco-warriors in your life. Our handy roundup has organic baby gifts (and a few to help out new parents too!) for whatever the occasion.
Why organic?
Babies famously have sensitive and delicate skin. Skin that can be easily irritated by chemicals such as the residues of pesticides that may be lurking in non-organic products. As organic materials are grown without the use of pesticides and insecticides, there is far less chance of chemical residue in organic products.
This lack of chemicals helps to protect babies’ skin and avoid exposure to chemicals that could have an adverse impact on a child’s overall health.
