Is our love for fashion compromising their well-being?

WHAT WE LOVE:

  • Dressing our babies and kids in colorful and nice print designs…
  • ...that are safe

BUT DID YOU KNOW?

  • Pigments are fixed to the fabric using binders…
  • …that often contain carcinogenic formaldehyde.
  • However, formaldehyde-free printing systems cost significantly more, being commonly used only on premium articles
