Choosing eco-friendly Love & Green products is about more than spotting green packaging or the word “natural”. From nappies, wipes and baby care products to feminine hygiene and household cleaning products, differences in ingredients, format and use can make a noticeable difference to everyday life.
To avoid unpleasant surprises, check at least three things: the ingredients actually listed, whether the product suits the way you intend to use it, and the cost compared with the quantity you can genuinely use. For example, a plastic-free wipe may not be suitable for sensitive skin if its formula contains fragrance. Similarly, a concentrated household refill is only economical if it is diluted correctly.
The percentage of ingredients of natural origin is not enough to describe a formula. You should also check whether it contains fragrance, colourants, lotions or preservatives, as well as the type of fibres used. For natural baby hygiene, fragrance-free wipes may be a sensible choice if you want to limit the number of ingredients.
Certifications provide useful guidance, but they do not replace reading the label. The COSMOS NATURAL, Ecocert, EU Ecolabel, FSC and TCF marks refer to different criteria, including the origin of ingredients, fibre management, bleaching processes and environmental requirements.
For Love & Green eco-friendly baby nappies, the weight range shown on the pack is the first point of reference. A nappy that is too large may allow leaks, while one that is too tight can mark the skin or restrict movement. Pull-up nappies should also match your child’s level of independence and body shape.
The same principle applies to eco-friendly sanitary pads: the Normal size is suitable for light to moderate flow, while the Super size is intended for medium to heavy flow, according to the product information.
A larger pack is not necessarily the best value. Instead, compare the price per nappy, wipe, wash or use. For the 1.5 L Love & Green Home eco-friendly laundry detergent, the product information states 33 washes, with the dosage adjusted according to the amount of laundry, water hardness and level of soiling.
Concentrated household refills reduce the volume you need to transport and store, but they require precise dilution. A 166 ml washing-up liquid refill is mixed with 334 ml of water to make 500 ml of product. The 75 ml multi-purpose spray refill, meanwhile, is mixed with 675 ml of water to make 750 ml of cleaner.
For babies or people prone to skin reactions, start by checking the elements that come into direct contact with the skin. The Love & Green nappies included in this selection state that the outer layer in contact with the skin is made from natural-origin materials, with no fragrance or lotion. Some options also show a bio-based content of between 61% and 71%, depending on the size.
For feminine hygiene products, the Normal and Super options state that the surface in contact with the skin is made from natural-origin materials, with no colourants, fragrance or lotion. The large hypoallergenic panty liners also state that they contain no plastic covering, fragrance, lotion or added allergens.
A certification does not guarantee that a product will suit every user. However, it can help you understand certain commitments and characteristics more clearly. Depending on their category, the products available may carry certifications such as FSC, TCF, EU Ecolabel, Dermatest or Ecocert.
For plastic-free baby wipes, the listed fibres are of natural origin and FSC certified. The water-based wipes formula contains six ingredients and no fragrance. According to the product information, the orange blossom version contains 98% ingredients of natural origin as well as orange blossom water from organic farming.
Hygiene products should be stored in a clean, dry place. Once opened, certain care products, such as the organic baby wash gel or baby micellar water, should be used within six months. Wipes, on the other hand, are intended to be used within three months of opening.
Used nappies and sanitary products must never be flushed down the toilet. For household cleaning products, follow the instructions for use: avoid contact with the eyes, keep them out of reach of children and never mix different products.

The product information describes some nappies as hypoallergenic, fragrance-free and lotion-free, and tested under dermatological supervision. However, this cannot rule out an individual reaction. If redness or irritation occurs, stop using the product and seek advice from a healthcare professional. Above all, make sure you choose a size suited to your child’s weight and change the nappy regularly.
The wipes featured use natural-origin fibres and are advertised as plastic-free. However, their biodegradability depends on processing conditions and the specific product. They must never be flushed down the toilet: after use, put them in a bin.
It depends on the purchase price, dosage and number of uses. The 1.5 L Love & Green Home detergent states that it provides 33 washes. Concentrated household refills reduce the volume of ready-to-use product, but their value depends on following the correct dilution ratios and reusing the bottle.
