Happy Skin Baby

The plain, honest version

Plenty of baby brands write a glossy sustainability page that says very little. This one explains what we do, what we don’t do yet, and where we still want to be better.

Four real choices

  • Small batches, not warehouses

    We make in small batches of around 200 sets. We never overproduce against forecasts or send deadstock to landfill at the end of a season.

  • Organic bamboo, closed-loop spun

    Our fabric is 95% organic bamboo viscose and 5% spandex. Bamboo grows fast without irrigation, and closed-loop spinning recovers the chemicals used to dissolve the pulp instead of dumping them.

  • OEKO-TEX® Standard 100

    Finished fabric is tested for substances harmful to skin, including formaldehyde, certain dyes, heavy metals and phthalates.

  • Plastic-free packaging

    Garment bags are compostable, plant-based film. Mailers are recycled paper you can put in the curbside bin.

What we don’t do yet

Being upfront about the gaps is what makes the rest of this page believable.

GOTS certification on the bamboo
The Global Organic Textile Standard is the gold standard for organic claims, but it doesn’t apply cleanly to regenerated fibers like bamboo viscose. We use OEKO-TEX® instead, and we’ll say so if that changes.
MADE SAFE certification
MADE SAFE tests the entire product: fabric, snaps, thread, dyes and packaging. We’re working toward it and will only claim it once we have it.
A take-back program
We want one. Doing it properly, with cleaning, repair and resale or donation, takes infrastructure we don’t have yet.
Carbon-neutral shipping
Domestic orders ship by ground, which is lower carbon than air. We don’t call that carbon neutral, because it isn’t.

Where it comes from

  1. Grown

    Bamboo from a farming cooperative that uses no irrigation, pesticides or fertilizers. Bamboo is happy to be left alone.

  2. Pulped and spun

    At a closed-loop facility that recovers and reuses the solvents used in spinning.

  3. Cut and sewn

    At a family-run factory we visit, with fair wages and safe working conditions.

  4. Checked and packed

    Every piece is inspected by hand before it ships to you.
