Shop JOHNSON'S® baby products to find clinically proven formulas that are free from dyes, parabens, and sulphates. We only choose high quality ingredients that are gentle for baby.

Kura Organics Car Seat Wrap
From early on, the three ladies behind Kura Organics - Victoria Oakley, Amy Duffy and Kerry Greenwood - agreed that as well as designing a stylish, yet warm and comfortable travelling solution for babies, they also wanted to create a brand that was as sustainable and environmentally conscious as possible. This is important as the baby wrap will be in contact with a newborn/young baby's skin.
Comfort and temperature regulation is so important when considering products for babies so the wrap is made from the softest GOTS certified organic cotton and OEKO-TEX standard, non-toxic and baby-safe inks.
They have used organic cotton, as its production is far less invasive/damaging to the environment than conventional cotton production and their labels are organic or recycled and all the packaging is recycled and/or recyclable.
Little Freddie
Sustainable baby and toddler food brand Little Freddie has launched two new vegetable-led recipes: 80% Veg and Simply Veg, with clearly marked front of pack ingredients and no hidden fruit, to help parents feel confident with introducing vegetables to their babies.
Created by parents for babies alongside Little Freddie’s paediatric nutritionist Jo Rayner, the two new recipes are both high in fibre, with the 80% Veg also a source of protein.
Little Freddie found that parents often feel misled by ‘vegetable’ blends that, on reading the back of the pouch, in fact contain a high percentage of fruit. Their two new recipes gently introduce vegetables to babies by including either a hint of fruit (clearly labelled on the front of the pouch for transparency) or sweet and earthy tasting family favourites, so parents can feel both reassured that their baby will enjoy the flavour and confident that vegetables are the main ingredients.
Launching in Sainsbury’s, Ocado, Amazon and littlefreddie.com, the two new recipes are:
- Simply Veg – Hearty Root Vegetable Mash (4m+) – A deliciously smooth 100% vegetable blend of carrot, sweet potato, parsnip and potato, with no added water.
- 80% Veg – Flavoursome Carrot, Pumpkin, Pea & Pear (4m+) – High in fibre and a source of protein, this recipe is a deliciously smooth blend of carrot, pumpkin, pea and pear. With the small addition of pear, this recipe is more palatable for little taste buds but still packed with 80% vegetable goodness.
The recipes are gluten free, dairy free and like the rest of the Little Freddie range, contain no preservatives or stabilisers and no added salt or sugar; all the sugar occurs naturally from the vegetables inside.
Sophie Sproson, Head of New Product Development at Little Freddie and mother of two comments: “We’re so thrilled to launch these two new recipes. We saw a gap in the market as there are so many fruit-dominated Stage 1 weaning products in the market and not enough vegetable-led blends, which taste delicious. We want to help families feel confident with food and flavours, and ensure little ones are set on the right path to be able to enjoy vegetables throughout their life with the help of these tasty recipes.”
Little Freddie is also the first brand in the UK to offer a pouch recycling scheme where nothing goes to landfill. Parents can post their empty Little Freddie pouches via a free prepaid recycling bag. Ground-breaking technology then breaks down the components of the bags and pouches into materials that can be re-used, leaving nothing to go to landfill.
Currently stocked with major retailers including Sainsbury’s, Ocado, Amazon and available via littlefreddie.com, the sustainable British brand is set to expand in to 128 Sainbury’s Locals from the end of June.
