The Serene Sling is certified Oeko-tex Standard 100.
But what is Oeko-Tex?

Oeko-Tex is an exacting procedure and certification system that tests for over 100 harmful substances. It tests for substances that are throughout the manufacturing procedure of a product and makes sure that the product you buy is not only healthy for you but also friendly to the environment. Oeko-tex is widely recognized in Europe and slowly becoming popular with well-known retailers in the United States.

What kind of harmful substances does Oeko-Tex check for?

Oeko-Tex tests for over 100 unsafe substances, including formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is particularly harmful to children and has been known to trigger allergies and asthma attacks. Oeko-Tex recognizes this and requires that all textiles certified by Oeko-Tex must register 0.01 parts per million (ppm) or less. Serene Sling met this requirement as part of the Oeko-Tex certification, proving that our product is safe for you and your baby to enjoy.

What does Oeko-Tex mean for Serene Sling?
