Providing safety to your loved ones is a non-negotiable for us here at Babu. That's why we're thrilled to announce that our merino garments are proudly certified to meet the stringent OEKO-TEX 100 standard.
Let's explore what this certification entails and why it sets our products apart.
Understanding the OEKO-TEX 100 Standard
The OEKO-TEX 100 Standard is a comprehensive set of criteria designed to ensure that textile products are free from harmful substances. It covers every stage of production, from raw materials to finished garments, and sets limits on the use of chemicals that could potentially pose risks to human health.
Stringent Requirements for Certification
To achieve OEKO-TEX 100 certification, our merino garments undergo rigorous testing to meet the following key requirements:
- Prohibited Substances: The standard prohibits the use of a wide range of harmful substances, including carcinogens, heavy metals, and allergenic dyes. This ensures that our garments are safe for even the most sensitive skin.
- Limit Values: Strict limit values are set for specific chemicals, such as formaldehyde and phthalates, to minimize their presence in our products. This commitment to low chemical concentrations enhances the safety of our merino garments.
- Skin-Friendly pH Value: Our garments must also meet criteria for skin-friendly pH values, ensuring that they are gentle and non-irritating, even for delicate skin.
- Colorfastness: OEKO-TEX 100 certification includes testing for colorfastness to ensure that dyes used in our merino garments are stable and do not transfer onto skin or other fabrics.
