BAMBOO

Perfect for baby and the environment.

• Anti-bacterial
  Even after 50 washes, bamboo fibre fabric has a 70% elimination rate when incubated with bacteria - this natural anti-bacterial function, along with the excellent permeability and evaporation of moisture reduces natural body odours.
  
• Keeps baby dry
  Bamboo has natural "wicking" properties meaning that it absorbs and evaporates moisture very quickly.
  
• Beautiful to touch
  Fabric from bamboo fibre is softer than cotton, feels similar to silk or cashmere and has a beautiful sheen.
  
• More bamboo clothing means a healthier planet
  Bamboo is one of Earth's most sustainable plant crops - it needs no replanting, and grows without fertilizers or pesticides. It also releases 35% more oxygen than equivalent stands of trees.
  
• It is 100% biodegradable
  As a natural cellulose fibre, bamboo is 100% biodegradable and the decomposition process does not cause any pollution to the environment. Worn out clothing can be recycled through your compost bin!
  
• No pesticides or fertilizers are used in its growth
  Compare this to cotton which uses approximately 25% of the world's fertilizers and insecticides.
  
• Bamboo improves soil quality
  One of the fastest growing plants in the world, bamboo is nutrient rich, bringing nutrients from deeper layers of soil to enrich surface soil quality.
