Down to Earth

In the Cafe

This is the back shop where you can locate most of the non-food things, from household cleaning products to natural body care lines.

We aren't running the cafe right now.

Here is a little about some of the ranges we stock:

Ecover - Natracare Feminine Products - Barefoot Botanicals
Essential Care

Links to these suppliers & more may be found on our Links Page

Ecover: an excellent range of cleaning products produced in an ecological, environmental and socially responsible way. Important for most people is that they are free of any nasty chemicals that may harm your skin or your health, as well as being competitively priced. They do all this and clean well! They clean as well as any competing brand, and yet without the nasties. They smell lovely too - all natural essential oils, no synthetic fragrances. We do refills - currently we refill laundry liquid, fabric conditioner, washing-up liquid and the multi surface cleaner. So you can save yourself a few pennies and make use of the empty plastic bottle.

Natracare Feminine Products: Natracare tampons are made from organic, 100% cotton, which is GMO free and 100% non-chlorine bleached. Natracare tampons are free from rayon, binders, plastics, surfactants, resins and fragrances. Natracare's panty shields are made with a breathable liner, which is designed to allow air to circulate freely. What's more, Natracare pads do not contain polyacrylic absorbents or have plastic covers that lie next to the skin, both of which can cause irritation. Many women have found relief from irritation when changing to Natracare products. We stock the full range of pads, including winged, liners and tampons.

Barefoot Botanicals: All the products are gentle enough to be used every day by every member of the family, including babies and children. While good for generally itchy, sore and dry skins, people with eczema and psoriasis can also use the the shop favourite, SOS cream. It brings relief to those experiencing harsh, chemical-ridden or steroid creams. Barefoot Botanicals use synergistic blends of plant oils and extracts, using only 100% natural ingredients, providing their customers with a healthy alternative to skincare junk food and calling their products ‘pure plant alchemy’.

Essential Care: Essential Care is a growing, practitioner based, family-run organisation who have developed gentle organic and natural skincare products, researched over twenty years and handmade in small batches. The formulae, based purely on dynamic plant oils and extracts, are unique to Essential Care, using herbs and essential oils in therapeutic concentrations for optimum benefit.
