In addition, it has been certified by Oeko-Tex (OEKO-TEX Standard 100) to prove that it has passed safety tests. *Cotton is grown on certified farms that do not use chemical fertilizers or synthetic pesticides, and is friendly to people and the environment. Baby clothes are made from hemp and are “smooth to the touch and eco-friendly.” Flux, the raw material for linen, is an
environmentally friendly natural fiber that absorbs about four times as much CO2 as forests and can grow as long as there is rain and light without watering. The more you wash it, the softer the fibers become, and the combination of linen and cotton makes this product safe for children to wear.
