Kinder to your skin and to the environment than traditional products, The Cheeky Panda’s tissues and wipes are available from a shop near you

Most of the time, our tried-andtested shopping methods work well. We know what we want, where to get it and how often we need to buy it in order to keep our homes well stocked.

But what happens if we want to try something new or to make an effort to shop more ethically? How many of us fall at the first hurdle because it all just seems a little bit too much trouble?

Fortunately, UK startup The Cheeky Panda has made accessibility a key part of its offering. The UK’s first 100-per-cent-bamboo tissue brand, it sells a range of toilet roll, kitchen roll, facial tissues and wipes that is soft, friendly to sensitive skin and free of nasty chemicals.

The production of these items generates lower carbon emissions per sheet than either recycled or traditional tissue products and the company offsets any emissions it can’t avoid via its partnership with World Land Trust. What’s more, its harvesting method involves little more than cutting down fast-growing bamboo once a year. So you could say that when it comes to protecting the environment, The Cheeky Panda’s range wipes the floor – excuse the pun! – with wood-pulp products.

Even better, rather than having to trawl through pages of Google results or trek across town to find it, buying products from The Cheeky Panda is about as convenient as it gets.

If you enjoy a wander down your local high street, Boots, Superdrug, Holland & Barrett, WH Smith and more than 1,000 independent retailers stock the range. If you do your main shop at the supermarket, look out for the smiley panda logo at Booths. And if you’d rather do your shopping from the comfort of the sofa or during your lunch break, you’ll find The Cheeky Panda’s products on a number of websites, including Amazon, where it’s been a bestseller for three years. In fact, it’s so easy to shop The Cheeky Panda that in some areas you can even order it online at Milk & More and have it delivered by your milkman!

So why not give it a go – and do your bit towards saving the planet in the process?
