Through our allergy awareness campaigns and commitment to building a more inclusive community, Creative Nature is on a mission to make sure no child ever feels left out.
From lunchboxes to birthday parties, we're creating a world where every kid can dig in, stress-free. Delicious without doubt is the Creative Nature way.
Good Bubble
Good Bubble is a family-founded brand on a mission to make
joyful, safe and sustainable bath times for children.
Created by sisters Amy and Sally, every product is specially developed to care for delicate, young skin while bringing fun to everyday routines.
The Manchester-made brand combines clinically tested, skin-friendly formulations with responsibly sourced ingredients and eco-conscious packaging. Featuring The Gruffalo, Peppa Pig and Paddington Bear, Good Bubble help to bring these much-loved stories to bath times without the need to compromise on skin health.
Grow With Iris
Grow with Iris is a fortified, free from and plant-based growing up drink, nutritionally tailored for children aged 12 months to 4 years.
Founded by two allergy Mums and developed by experts, our powder-based formulation is officially free from milk, lactose, egg, gluten, soya, peanuts and tree nuts AND is fortified with 16 essential vitamins and minerals.
It's smooth, creamy, with a hint of vanilla and most importantly, toddler-approved.
Buy Women Built
Buy Women Built shine a light on brands founded by women and make it easier for people to support them.
Born from the simple idea that “not everyone can invest in or mentor female founders, but we can all buy from them,” it harnesses the power of everyday purchasing decisions to drive change.
By increasing visibility of women-built brands, the movement helps create a stronger, fairer economy while inspiring the next generation of female entrepreneurs.
If you can see it, you can be it.
