Cotton is an extremely absorbent, tear resistant seed fibre used for textiles because of its many unique qualities. Cotton is boil proof, which secures maximum hygiene. OEKO-TEX is your guarantee that every component of a textile article (i.e. every thread, button, zip and any other accessories) has been tested for harmful substances, and that the article is harmless to use. The test is conducted by independent OEKO-TEX partner institutes, in accordance with extensive criteria for safety and health. OEKO-TEX enables consumers and companies to make responsible decisions, and reduces the use of harmful substances in textile production.
