Frequently Asked Questions

 

Welcome to Our FAQ

We know how challenging it can be to find the right clothing for babies and children with sensitive skin. This page is here to answer the most common questions parents have about our 100% cotton clothing, caring for delicate skin, and choosing the best fabrics for your little one. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, please reach out—we’re always happy to help you and your family on this gentle journey.

Why is cotton better for babies with sensitive skin?

Cotton is a natural, breathable fabric that helps keep your child’s skin cool and dry. Because it allows air to circulate, it reduces the risk of overheating and moisture buildup, which are common triggers for irritation and eczema flare-ups. Cotton is also hypoallergenic, meaning it’s less likely to cause allergic reactions compared to synthetic fabrics.

What does 100% organic cotton mean, and why does it matter?

“100% organic cotton” means the cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or harmful chemicals. This is important because regular cotton may have residues that can irritate sensitive skin. Organic cotton is gentler on your child and better for the environment.

How can I tell if clothing is truly 100% organic cotton?

Look for clear labels like “100% organic cotton” and certifications such as GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard). Avoid items labelled “cotton blend” or just “cotton” with no further details, as they may contain synthetic fibres or non-organic cotton.

Can synthetic fabrics worsen my child’s skin condition?

Yes. Synthetic materials like polyester or nylon can trap heat and moisture, causing or worsening skin irritation. This can lead to itching, redness, and flare-ups in children with eczema or sensitive skin.

How should I care for cotton clothing to maintain its softness and benefits?

Wash cotton clothes with gentle, fragrance-free detergents. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, which can leave residues that irritate skin. Air drying or using a low heat setting in the dryer will help keep fabrics soft and durable.

Are cotton clothes durable enough for active babies and toddlers?

Absolutely. Cotton is both soft and strong. With proper care, 100% cotton clothing will hold up well through washing and everyday wear, becoming even softer over time.

What sizes do you offer, and how do I know which size fits best?

We offer a full range of sizes for newborns to toddlers. Check our detailed size guide on each product page to find the best fit based on your child’s measurements. If you need help, our customer service team is happy to assist.

Why isn’t cotton clothing more common on the high street?

Despite growing awareness of organic food and sustainability, many children’s clothing brands still focus on cheaper synthetic fabrics because they cost less to produce. We believe cotton clothing should be a standard, not a luxury, especially for kids with sensitive skin.
