We do not add antimicrobial chemicals, such as nanosilver, to our products. In our dyeing process, we exclusively use OEKO-TEX certified dyes.
While it is scientifically challenging to claim any textile is 100% "PFAS Free" (due to the thousands of different PFAS variants in the environment), we take significant steps to ensure none are added to our products:
- Testing: Our products are tested for PFAS according to the OEKO-TEX 100 standard by Hohenstein, and these tests have not detected any PFAS.
- Supplier Guarantees: We require written guarantees from all suppliers that no PFAS are added at any stage of production.
- Certifications: All our suppliers are OEKO-TEX certified.
