The best vegan skincare products for kids

Mini U have recently relaunched their skincare, bath and body brand. As a mum of three, I absolutely love this product. It's often difficult to find a hair and body wash that smells lovely but leaves both the hair and body clean. This does exactly that. It is made from organic aloe vera to leave a lasting silky soft look and feel.

Mother&Baby writer, Hannah James said: "I love Mini U. The brand gets everything right, from the fun packaging to the gorgeous smelling products. This is my personal favourite. It smells delicious which is rare for a vegan product as they are often fragrance-free."
