Newborns are unprotected in many ways: the thickness of their skin is just one-fifth of the thickness of an adult’s skin. We also know that sweat glands work in both directions: they absorb substances that are in contact with the skin. As such, it truly matters what we place against our babies’ and children’s skin. Even adults can sense this through what they smell and breathe in: the bleaching, dyeing and finishing chemicals in clothes stores are not good for us. Many parents are concerned about the chemicals in plastic toys, and the same concern should also be shown for clothing and other textiles. We have served customers with sensitive skin for four decades Our experience means that we can be certain that both the cotton and silk we use are well-tolerated among people with allergies and atopic conditions. In addition, our merino wool is the smoothest kind of wool, and is therefore also suitable for people who otherwise find wool to be itchy. Protection for babies’ and children’s sensitive skin Adjustable waist elastic is sewn in to the garment to reduce irritation. We aim to make our size and logo labels as soft as possible, but they can also be removed if necessary. It is especially important to choose detergents that are as gentle and fragrance-free as possible to reduce skin irritation from clothing. On page 73 you’ll find the Sonett product range of detergents, which do not contain any allergy-inducing enzymes, chlorine compounds, artifi- cial fragrances or colourings. Please don’t hesitate to ask our customer services for more information about our materials.
