Plastic-free baby clothing
Babies have a higher skin-to-body-weight ratio and a thinner stratum corneum, which means they absorb more dermally than adults. Putting synthetic fabrics — and any chemical residues those fabrics carry — directly against baby skin all day is a worse-case exposure scenario.
- ·Organic cotton, bamboo viscose, and merino wool are the safest baby fabrics.
- ·Avoid flame-retardant treatments (often brominated or phosphorus-based).
- ·Avoid bright synthetic dyes — azo dyes can break down to aromatic amines.
- ·Wash all new baby clothing before first wear.
