Why We Switched to
Mechanically Separated Bamboo
Mechanically Separated Bamboo:
-
Fibers are gently separated using steam and crushing
-
Preserves the bamboo’s natural fiber
-
Soft, durable, and highly absorbent
Bamboo Viscose (Used by most other bamboo brands):
-
Chemically processed into pulp
-
Alters the natural fiber structure
-
Involves harsh chemicals like sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, and carbon disulfide
In Short:
-
Safer for Baby: No residual chemicals touching your baby’s skin
-
Softer & More Natural: Preserves the bamboo’s natural fibers for gentle care
-
Better for the Environment: Less processing, closest to nature
Spunlace is the step where fibers—whether bamboo, cotton, or synthetics—are tangled together using high-pressure jets. Most often these are water jets, though sometimes air is used instead. The spunlace stage itself doesn’t use chemicals; it’s purely a mechanical way to bind fibers into a fabric sheet. The key distinction is how the fibers are made before the spunlace stage.
Yes — bamboo is considered organic in the sense that it’s a naturally renewable plant that usually grows without the need for pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world, and because of that rapid growth, it tends to outcompete weeds and resist many pests naturally. Most bamboo is cultivated without pesticides simply because it doesn’t need them, making it a low-impact, environmentally friendly crop.
