benefits of bamboo

Did you know that bamboo is basically an environmental wonder plant?

Bamboo requires no chemicals and minimal water to grow! It also absorbs more carbon dioxide from the air and releases more oxygen into the environment than cotton does. Bamboo is also one of the fastest growing plants in the world, replenishing itself constantly without the need for gallons and gallons of water to do so — you can feel good about the fact that your purchase has a positive impact on our planet! 

Our fabrics are woven with 95% bamboo and 5% spandex, which gives you a super soft, breathable, draping fabric with the perfect amount of fit & stretch!

Even More Benefits of Bamboo:

  • Hypoallergenic for a silky soft, light touch on even the most sensitive baby skin
  • Regulates heat. Bamboo helps keep baby cool in warm weather, and warm in cool weather. 
  • Easy to wash with cold water and can be tossed in the dryer on low heat [bonus! Wrinkles fall out when hung damp]
  • UV resistant to protect fragile skin from the sun's rays
  • Bamboo is a biodegradable resource!
