Today we put the spotlight on an incredible range developed for children & babies, for their delicate hair & bodies.

Little Sprout is a organic & natural range favoured by celebrity mums such as Cindy Crawford, Angelina Jolie & Brooke Shields. Founded by Inga Tritt, mother & stylist. Parents & stylists trust these formulations because they work without carcinogens & common offenders found in other products such as synthetic ingredients associated with oestrogen enhancement, hormone disruption, cancer & autism.

We love anything that makes our children’s bath times that little bit easier.  Little Sprout Miracle Detangler, the champion of detanglers really helps with tiny tears when it comes to the dreaded combing of your child’s hair!  It’s a highly effective formula that works hard to make tough tangles history. Made with Organic Calendula, Basil & Cranberry this brilliant blend of botanicals works in harmony with children’s hair to gently soften and detangle. Spray on to your children’s hair wet or dry, and use a wide tooth comb to distribute the product.  As a result, combing is fast, painless and safe and of course there are no nasty chemicals such as parabens, sulphates formaldehyde (Hydantoin DMDM) found in many children's detanglers.  Perfect for use after bath, beach or swimming pool ! Organic Rosemary also helps to naturally repel lice and other insects.

Tangle Prone Hair
Children’s hair is different from adult hair in texture, density and often supremely fine, it can be difficult to care for because of its delicate downy softness and fluffiness. Up until the age of 7-10, this fine hair will remain. Hair's traits will change over time your little ones physically develop.  Like the rest of the human body, hair has different stages of development spanning the full lifetime, but is most susceptible to damage when it’s at its early stages of development.  It is best to detangle hair before washing, especially if there’s any length. Use a wide tooth comb and begin from the bottom of the length, and work one's way up the length of hair.

Plants like Plantain, Calendula, Rose Hip, Sea Buckthorn, and St John’s Wort & Camomile are typical to the Baltic region, where farms are usually run by one family who never use pesticides even when not certified as Organic.

Tisenkopfa then works with a professor on plant combinations to ensure the active ingredients operate synergistically, to bring your Madara - a range of incredibly effective, natural and organic cosmetics that are audited through the control body Ecocert.
