\"\"<\/a>Holidays are here and it is time to kick back and start loving your work-free zone. Let us do the hard work before you go and sort out the hottest ethical buys<\/strong> to take along to make your holiday, well, a holiday. From ethical flip-flops to the new solar powered shaver – Ethical Superstore have everything under the sun. Summer is not complete without. . .<\/p>\n

1 Beach fun: <\/strong>For the ultimate in cool, slip on these flip-flops<\/strong><\/a> made from recycled tyres (\u00a322). With 48 million tyres being disposed of each year in the UK, new use for old rubber is the way to go. Or try a pair of FSC certified flip-flops (\u00a322) made with rubber tapped from sustainable forest sources.<\/p>\n

2 Game on:<\/strong> Jumpstart your beach holiday with a Fairtrade certified volley ball<\/strong><\/a> (\u00a311.50) or football<\/strong><\/a> (\u00a319.90). Over 150 million kids are involved in child labour worldwide – these balls raise the bar being 100% child labour-free.<\/p>\n

3 Don\u2019t burn:<\/strong> Skin experts recommend at least SPF15 – which blocks out 90% of UVB rays. If you want to avoid the harmful ingredients found in synthetic sun lotions and potions, try a product that contains titanium dioxide, such as Green People\u2019s Edelweiss lotion with tan accelerator<\/a><\/strong> (SPF15, \u00a315.99) or for fairer skins \u2018No Scent\u2019 lotion<\/strong><\/a> (SPF22, \u00a315.99). For the children, antioxidant-rich lavender sun lotion<\/a><\/strong> (SPF25, \u00a313.50) is hard to beat.<\/p>\n

4 Skin soothing:<\/strong> Invaluable after soaking up the sun is a lotion to replenish moisture loss. Seek out a product with Aloe vera to sooth – you can apply straight from the plant if you have one \u2013 and Shea butter, prized by many African women, to moisturise. Lavera Natural After Sun Lotion<\/strong><\/a> (\u00a34.95) very conveniently has both.<\/p>\n

5 Itch-free zone:<\/strong> You never know when you might need a quick splash of repellent to ward of little things that bite, so stow away a bottle of organic Mosimix<\/a><\/strong> (\u00a37.50) to be prepared. It moisturises the skin too without pungent odours. Soil Association certified.<\/p>\n

6 Picnic cool:<\/strong> No holiday is complete without the simple pleasures of a picnic. For some retro chic, picnic on this gorgeous woollen waterproof blanket<\/strong><\/a> made from recycled yarns (\u00a334.95). And don\u2019t forget to keep your picnic cool \u2013 use this fold-up cool bag<\/strong><\/a> from recycled juice cartons in the Philippines (\u00a314.99).<\/p>\n

7 Holiday leisure:<\/strong> Time to really delve deep into that book you\u2019ve craved the time for. Get the low down on climate change from Al Gore\u2019s An Inconvenient Truth<\/a><\/strong> (\u00a314.99) or travel the globe with World Music<\/strong><\/a> from Indy label Putumayo (\u00a310.95).<\/p>\n

8 Solar power:<\/strong> Sit under the stars admiring the magical glow of our best selling Sun Jar<\/a><\/strong> (\u00a319.95) fuelled with light captured from the days\u2019 rays. It\u2019s a central piece for any outdoor evening gathering. Also available in moonlight blue (\u00a319.95).<\/p>\n

9 His and hers:<\/strong> The new solar powered travel shaver<\/a><\/strong> (\u00a324.95) will keep you well-groomed \u2013 even if you are kipping under canvas. Fully-charged after a day in the sun. And for those sun-kissed lips, seal in the moisture with Burt\u2019s Bees Beeswax lip balm<\/strong><\/a> (\u00a32.99). Contains coconut and sunflower oils to keep you shining.<\/p>\n

10 Quick getaway:<\/strong> If you need to hop on and go, this fold-up bike<\/strong><\/a> (\u00a3399) will get you there hassle-free. Weighing in at just 10 kilos, this is easy to take on the train or stow away \u2013 it\u2019s the ultimate holiday ride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
