Dan Reflects on 2021 and Talks about True Organic of Sweden and The Konjac Sponge Co.

Hi everyone!
I am writing this today after getting back from a lovely walk in the sun, despite it being January. We’ve had blue skies here in Northern Italy this week and I’ve been making the most of it! My weekly step-count on my phone is showing a much better weekly average than I managed last month! Not only am I happy about the weather, I’m also really excited about this year’s Bambini Baby Awards. Last year I was really exciting but I am 100% certain that this year’s awards are going to be even better! That said, in today’s blog I’d like to reflect on a couple of last year’s winners and delve a bit more into their back stories. 
​
True Organics of Sweden won the Gold Award for Best Natural Baby Product at the 2021 Bambini Baby Awards as well as taking home bronze for Best Nipple Cream.

Amazingly, founder of True Organics of Sweden, Tina de Sousa had never dreamed of having her own line of skincare products before the birth of her son in 2008. Then, as it has been for so many of us, her life and priorities changed. Tina found herself searching for multi-purpose products with a high percentage of organic ingredients and was disappointed with the lack of options available to her! Six years later Tina proudly watched over the launch of her first product and her brand has continued to go from strength to strength. I love delving into the back stories behind my favourite brands and I have to say that although Tina is not unique in that some other of my favourite brands were also born from a fruitless search by parents to find a product they would be happy to use on their babies, this is definitely my favourite source of inspiration for new products. After all, it just demonstrates how important it is that the product is clean and safe for little ones, especially as we can often be careless when it comes to the ingredients we apply to our own skin but we take much more care to pick the right options for our children!

Founded by Michele Riley (who had extensive experience in natural beauty) and produced exclusively in South Korea, The Konjac Sponge Co were Gold winners for Best Baby Natural Bath / Shower Product with The Konjac Sponge Co Baby & Child Bath Sponge​. Since its launch over 10 years ago, the company takes great pride in using only natural ingredients and completely avoiding the use of chemicals or artificial ingredients. Conveniently, their head office is in the UK and they ship globally!

Their blog is also an excellent resource for great skincare tips, in addition to enjoying their recent advice on how to manage skincare pre- and post-workout (https://konjacspongecompany.com/blogs/news/pre-and-post-workout-skincare-tips), I also loved reading more about the incredible history, health benefits of the Asian Konjac plant, as well as its environmental benefits. Take a look their webpage here for more detailed info! 

So, those were two deserving winners in last year’s awards! Do check them out, it will be well worth your time!

I’ll be back soon with more info on other past winners! Until then...

Ciao for now!
