With ethical viability at the heart of its brand, Green People’s sun lotions are in renewable sugar cane packaging. Farmed on sustainable land, this carbon-neutral raw material captures CO2 so efficiently that for every 1kg produced, over 3kgs of CO2 is removed from the air.
As well as making eco-safe sun lotions Green People has been supporting The Marine Conservation Society since 2011, donating 20p from the sale of every one of their full sized marine-friendly sun lotions to this worthy cause.
