Top 10 Must-Have Fair Trade Products 2020

fairtrade-cosmetics fairtrade fairtrade-products

Sometimes a little retail therapy is just what the doctor ordered, and when you buy Fairtrade, you’re investing in other people’s lives, not just your own – another great reason to get shopping!

We believe that opting for fairly traded goods is one of the most important criteria an ethical shopper should consider.

Fairtrade certification encompasses a range of standards that protect the workers and farmers involved in growing and producing particular ingredients, like the sugar and shea butter used in the products at Odylique.

Look for the certification logo (pictured below), to ensure what you’re buying is genuinely Fairtrade!

Whether you’re a Fairtrade enthusiast or if you’ve just discovered it for the first time, we have compiled a list of our favourite products and companies who supply fantastic everyday items and gift ideas for treat yourself or someone special with.


1. Divine Chocolate 

fair-trade-chocolate

Nothing says indulgence like chocolate. We love Divine Chocolate for its rich flavour from ethically sourced cocoa beans. Purchasing any product from Divine Chocolate supports sustainable cocoa farming and provides local communities with a premium to invest in social, economic or environmental conditions. This is because the company gives ownership of the business to the farmers, sharing their profits and giving them a stronger voice in the cocoa industry.

Divine is the only chocolate company in the world which is 100% Fairtrade and owned by cocoa farmers.


2. AMT Coffee

AMT Coffee was the first national coffee company to support Fairtrade.

They believe that Fairtrade for coffee farmers is about fair prices, decent working conditions, long term sustainability and fair terms of trade in the developing countries that produce this second largest traded commodity in the world.

AND they use organic milk as standard!


3. Arena Flowers

8. Clipper Tea

We love our cups of Clipper Tea at the Odylique office, especially the Fairtrade and organic options that make up the majority of their range. Their ingredients are sourced from Fairtrade farms around the world, including ones in India, Sri Lanka, China, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda.

We also like the fact that Clipper tea bags are unbleached, meaning there won’t be any residues of synthetic bleaching chemicals floating around in your cup!

Clipper certainly live up to their ‘natural, fair and delicious’ promise.


9. Co-operative Wine

Having a glass of wine need not be a guilty pleasure, especially if you’ve chosen from the largest variety of Fairtrade wine available at the Co-op. You can also buy from other fairly traded goods the Co-op provides such as bananas and tea.

Fairtrade also bans the use of highly toxic agro-chemicals from being used in the vineyards, protecting both you and the vineyard workers. We would suggest buying certified organic products to be sure, however!
