Reviews by Alice Ellerby, Jess Hazel, Emma Hypher, Sophie May and Sharon Whiting Swimsuit I researched lots of sustainable swimwear brands before I settled on Batoko. I liked its ethos – using only recycled plastic waste intercepted before landfill, with collections kept intentionally small. The swimsuits are produced in small batches, helping avoid overproduction and encouraging customers to make slow and considered purchases. I wanted a swimsuit that would last me a long time, and I am really pleased so far (still going strong after six months of regular use). I wear it mainly for sea swimming, and always rinse it out afterwards with fresh water as recommended; Batoko suggests washing swimsuits as little as possible. It’s also worth mentioning that the brand sells ‘imperfect’ swimsuits at a reduced price. That’s how I bought mine, and I am yet to find an imperfection! I like this approach – nothing is...

Reviews by Alice Ellerby, Saffia Farr, and Jess Hazel Organic Cotton Unpaper Towel This is the most fantastic cloth. It’s designed to be an ‘unpaper towel’, so you have a few in your kitchen to mop up spills, which you then wash and reuse. I have been using it for all sorts of things and it works really well and washes well too. I love the design and the hook is helpful for hanging. It’s available as a pack of five, or as smaller grey wipes, and arrives wrapped in eco-friendly, ethically sourced tissue paper. It’s designed in the UK and made in India where 35% of electricity used during manufacture is from renewable sources, using hydroelectric power. £2.50 for a single towelhomeofjuniper.co.uk Makeup Remover Pads These are fantastic makeup remover pads. There are 10 in the set, so plenty to last between washes, and they are really big with...

Nature-friendly sunscreens for your family – 20...
We’ve tried lots of natural sun creams here at JUNO HQ over the years. We wanted to share them in one place, to help you when looking for a product to suit you and your family this summer. Freedom Organic Sun Cream SPF 20 This is a natural mineral sun cream that applies easily and is suitable for adults and children. It has a 2 in 1 protect and repair formula, which contains aloe vera, lavender and apricot kernel oil to help repair and soothe your skin during sun exposure. It comes in a metal container with a screw cap, which I really like, and it was easy to shake thoroughly to mix then tip on to my hand to apply, or you can use the pump. Unlike many zinc creams, this lotion is thin enough to rub easily into the skin, and I loved the scents of the...
