What is OEKO-TEX® and Why It Matters for Your Bamboo Sleepwear
When you slip into your favourite bamboo pyjamas, comfort and softness are just the beginning. But what about the safety and sustainability of the fabric against your skin and for the planet? That’s where the OEKO-TEX® certification comes in — a global standard that ensures your sleepwear is free from harmful substances and made with care.
If you’re curious about why OEKO-TEX® matters, especially for bamboo sleepwear, keep reading. We’ll explain what it is, why it’s important, and how Kip & Boo embraces this standard for your peace of mind.
What is OEKO-TEX®?
OEKO-TEX® is an independent testing and certification system for textiles, designed to ensure products are free from harmful chemicals and safe for human use. The most recognised certification within this system is Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX® — which guarantees that every part of the textile, from threads to dyes, has been tested against strict limits for substances that could be harmful to your skin or health.
According to Simply Organic Bamboo, this certification covers a broad range of chemicals including pesticides, heavy metals, formaldehyde, and more — substances that can cause skin irritation or worse.
Why OEKO-TEX® is Especially Important for Bamboo Viscose
Bamboo viscose is prized for its softness and breathability, but the process of turning bamboo into viscose fabric involves chemical treatments. This can introduce residues harmful to skin if not carefully controlled.
The OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification guarantees that bamboo viscose sleepwear is tested and verified safe, even for the most sensitive skin types — including babies and young children, as highlighted by Little Nessi. This means OEKO-TEX® certified bamboo viscose is free from harmful substances that could cause irritation, allergies, or other health issues.
How Kip and Boo Uses OEKO-TEX® Certified Bamboo Fabric
At Kip & Boo, we believe in more than just comfort. Our bamboo pyjama bottoms and tops are crafted from OEKO-TEX® certified bamboo viscose, ensuring you get not only luxurious softness but also the highest standards of safety and sustainability.
This means you can lounge, sleep, and dream in our bamboo sleepwear without worrying about harsh chemicals or irritants. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference to your wellbeing.
OEKO-TEX® and Sustainability: A Perfect Match
OEKO-TEX® isn’t just about safety — it also encourages manufacturers to adopt cleaner, safer production processes. This reduces environmental impact by limiting hazardous chemical use and waste.
Combined with bamboo’s natural eco-friendly qualities — rapid growth, low water use, and biodegradability — OEKO-TEX® certification reinforces Kip & Boo’s promise to care for both you and the planet.
