Why is 100% cotton good for baby products?

Why We Only Source 100% Cotton Products

 

At Bub & Bear, we are committed to using 100% cotton for all our baby essentials. Cotton, particularly muslin gauze, is a time-honoured fabric known for its softness, breathability, and durability— this makes it the ideal choice for our babies' delicate skin.

Superior Quality & Softness

Cotton is naturally soft and becomes even softer with every wash, providing long-lasting comfort for your little one. Unlike synthetic fabrics, pure cotton is free from harsh chemicals, ensuring that only the gentlest material touches your baby's skin.

Highly Absorbent & Quick-Drying

Our six-layer cotton gauze blankets and washcloths are designed for maximum absorption, making them perfect for swaddling, drying, or quick clean-ups. The open weave allows for fast drying, preventing moisture build-up and keeping fabrics fresh.

Breathable & Temperature-Regulating

Newborns have sensitive skin and it takes them a few months to develop temperature regulation, which is why breathable fabrics are essential. Cotton’s open weave structure promotes airflow, reducing the risk of overheating while keeping your baby snug and comfortable.

Gentle & Safe for Babies

Babies' skin is thinner and more sensitive than an adult’s, making them prone to irritation. Our 100% cotton products are made in mostly GOTS certified factories which means they are less exposed to processing chemicals and synthetic fibres which helps ensure they are hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and perfectly safe for everyday use on your bub.

Sustainable & Long-Lasting

Cotton is biodegradable and eco-friendly, making it a sustainable choice for parents looking to reduce their environmental impact. Plus, it’s incredibly durable, meaning our blankets and washcloths last for years, often becoming softer and more comfortable with time and they even get passed down to younger siblings!

 

All of our products are tried and tested on our own little ones and by choosing 100% cotton, we prioritise bub's comfort, safety, and well-being—because only the best will do for our bubs!
