Collection: OEKO-TEX

OEKO-TEX is a German organization. The name stands for ‘eco’ and ‘textile’: eco textiles.

OEKO-TEX is a test and certifying system for textiles that focus on restricting the use of harmful substances in textile manufacturing. The demands are very strict and are monitored regularly. A certificate has to be renewed every year.

Although the label focuses on the health aspect of the textile product, the guidelines for the use of harmful substances also has interfaces with the ecological dimension of sustainability. A fabric that is certified as STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX is proven to be skin-friendly in various classes, including products for infants, products with direct skin contact, and decoration material. The closer to the skin, the stricter the demands.
