When you pick up a pack of diapers, wipes, or pants, you may notice labels like hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested, or free of 200+ potentially harmful chemicals. But what do these claims actually mean? Here’s everything European parents need to know.
How do we decide what a product should be “free of”?
At Lofties, we go beyond industry norms. Our partner collaborates with independent labs and follows:
-
European safety regulations and standards;
-
Recommendations from trusted organisations;
-
International safety norms.
If there’s any uncertainty about an ingredient, we simply don’t use it, because safety comes first.
What does Hypoallergenic mean?
Hypoallergenic means that a material is unlikely to trigger an allergic reaction or skin sensitisation with repeated contact.
Lofties diapers and pants are dermatologist-tested under controlled conditions and proven gentle enough for even sensitive skin. Almost as gentle as water itself.
Are Lofties products gluten-free and vegan?
While labels like gluten-free or nut-free are technically for food products, we can confirm:
-
Lofties diapers and pants contain no animal products or gluten;
-
We never test on animals and ensure our suppliers don’t either.
Are Lofties diapers made of bamboo?
Technically, no diaper is “made of bamboo.” Bamboo must first be processed into viscose, which requires energy and chemical treatment. For performance, sustainability, and skin safety reasons, Lofties chooses other plant-based and synthetic materials that are gentle, durable, and environmentally conscious.
Are Lofties diapers “all-natural”?
Not completely. “All-natural” doesn’t always mean safer or more sustainable, for example, poison ivy is natural but irritating. Even plant-based plastics behave like regular plastics at the end of their lifecycle.
Lofties uses non-irritating, plant-based materials where possible, like TCF (Totally Chlorine-Free) wood pulp from sustainably managed European forests, without compromising performance.
Our commitment to safety and transparency
Parents want the safest, gentlest products for their babies. Greenwashing and marketing terms can be confusing, so Lofties is fully transparent about the materials we use. You can always consult our full safety reports here.
With Lofties, Swiss parents can trust that diapers and pants are dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, and sustainably sourced, keeping babies comfortable and parents stress-free.
