Why use bamboo?
Biodegradable and naturally silky soft to touch, bamboo helps regulate temperature keeping your baby cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Bamboo is also hypo-allergenic so less likely to cause an irritation on your baby’s skin. Incredibly absorbent, this material naturally wicks moisture away from the skin making it the perfect fabric choose for active children and keeping your baby from becoming sweaty and uncomfortable.
How is your product packaged?
In 2020, we made a commitment to reduce our impact on the environment by eliminating plastic packaging. We now only pack our garments and deliver all our online orders in compostable bags.
What is a compostable bag and how long does it take to breakdown?
Compostable bags are made from plant-based starch and do not produce any toxic materials. Once our compostable bags come into contact with soil, they decompose after 180 days. In comparison, traditional plastic packaging can take hundreds of years to breakdown.
Now you can feel even better about receiving your new package in the mail.
