Why We Choose OEKO-TEX® Certified Bamboo
Because the Softest Clothing Should Also Be Among the Safest
When you're choosing clothing for your child, softness matters.
But what you can't see matters just as much.
At Baby Todd & Co., our bamboo fabric is independently certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100—one of the world's most recognised textile safety certifications.
That means every fabric has been tested for hundreds of potentially harmful substances before it ever reaches your child's wardrobe.
Because clothing designed for sensitive skin should be gentle in every sense of the word.
What is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100?
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is an internationally recognised certification that tests textiles for substances that could be harmful to human health.
Every certified fabric is independently laboratory tested for a wide range of chemicals, including:
- Formaldehyde
- Heavy metals
- Harmful dyes
- Pesticide residues
- Other substances known to irritate sensitive skin
For clothing worn close to the skin—especially by babies and children—this extra level of testing provides valuable peace of mind.
Why It Matters for Sensitive Skin
Children's skin is naturally thinner and more delicate than adult skin.
For babies and children living with eczema, allergies or sensory sensitivities, skin can be even more reactive.
While many parents focus on fabric softness, unseen chemical residues left behind during manufacturing can also contribute to irritation.
Choosing OEKO-TEX® certified fabrics helps reduce that risk.
It's another way we help create clothing that's designed to be as kind to sensitive skin as possible.
More Than Just Soft Bamboo
Our premium bamboo fabric is loved because it's naturally:
- Ultra-soft
- Breathable
- Moisture-wicking
- Four-way stretch for all-day comfort
- Gentle against sensitive skin
OEKO-TEX® certification adds another layer of confidence.
It means the fabric has also been independently tested to ensure it's free from harmful levels of substances that shouldn't be next to your child's skin.
Softness you can feel.
Safety you can't see.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does OEKO-TEX® certification mean the clothing is safe for babies?
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 sets some of the world's strictest limits for harmful substances in textiles, making it one of the most trusted certifications for fabrics used in children's clothing.
Is bamboo naturally soft?
Yes. Premium bamboo fabric is exceptionally soft, breathable and gentle against delicate skin, making it a popular choice for babies and children with sensitive skin.
Does certification make a difference?
Absolutely. Independent certification means the fabric has been tested by a third party—not simply described by the manufacturer. It provides parents with greater confidence that the clothing has been assessed against recognised international safety standards.
Is all bamboo clothing OEKO-TEX® certified?
No. Bamboo refers to the fibre itself. OEKO-TEX® certification is an independent standard that verifies the finished fabric has been tested for harmful substances. Not every bamboo garment carries this certification.
Comfort Without Compromise
From our tagless construction to our premium bamboo fabric and OEKO-TEX® certification, every decision we make is guided by one simple principle:
Create clothing that's gentle on your child's skin and ultra comfortable to wear.

Being kids.
