You all know that I care tremendously about the safety and health of children and our environment. That’s why I love to share tips on everything from healthy eating for kids to how to get kids to exercise. As a parent, we all want our children to be healthy but sometimes the endless choices can make it difficult to select the best choices! That’s why I am happy to partner with OEKO-TEX® to help celebrate World Children’s Day. They have a passion for safe products and they empower brands to be transparent in how they test for the safety of their textiles and clothing. The OEKO-TEX® labels are a trustworthy way to spot safe clothing for babies and children.

What is OEKO-TEX?

What is OEKO-TEX?

OEKO-TEX®, a worldwide association of 18 independent research and test institutes that create certifications and product labels so conscious shoppers can easily select clothing, footwear and home goods that have been tested for harmful substances. In other words, OEKO-TEX® makes it easy to buy responsibly.

OEKO-TEX Standard 100

STANDARD 100 By OEKO-TEX® Certification

OEKO-TEX® offers several certifications with health and safety in mind. The STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certification provides confidence in textiles and clothing because it is one of the world’s best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances. It certifies that every component of the product – from the fabric to the buttons and other accessories – was rigorously tested for toxic chemicals so that they are safe for babies and children to wear.

Why OEKO-TEX® Is Especially Important For Children And Babies

In the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® tests they take into account numerous regulated and non-regulated substances, which may be harmful to human health. You may think, is this really necessary? Surprisingly, the answer is yes. There are lots of chemicals that can be used in the manufacturing process that are just not good for us. Our skin can absorb what is on our clothing through contact. Children are especially sensitive to toxins when compared to adults and therefore protecting them is even more important.

The STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® label helps offer peace of mind when it comes to the health and safety of children. The OEKO-TEX® label is a helpful way to easily identify which brands are making their products safe.

For example, the Hanna Andersson brand ensures that almost all of their premium children’s clothing is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified. I love knowing that I am getting a quality garment for both of my children, but it is especially nice if your child has skin allergies or other sensitivities. My son has sensitive skin so the OEKO-TEX® label is even more important for him.

I hope you found it useful to learn about OEKO-TEX® and how they make it easy to buy children’s clothing with confidence. Visit oeko-tex.com to learn more.
