GOLS and GOTS Certified Products

One of the best parts of GOLS and GOTS certifications is that they assure testing for all parts of a product, from the fibers to the zippers, snaps, and buttons.

WHAT DO GOTS, GOLS, AND OEKO-TEX MEAN?

As a new mom, you want the best for their child. That’s why you are reading the label of basically every product you need for your child.

Which Chemicals Should You be Concerned About?

You want to make sure to avoid these chemicals in your child’s toys and furniture:

– Bisphenols such as BPA and BPS

– Formaldehyde

– Flame retardants

– Heavy metals like lead or cadmium

– Phthalates

And since I’m an environmental chemist (this is my thing), I wanted to help you know which non-toxic certifications are best for baby today.

GOLS and GOTS Certified Products

The Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) and the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certify that products are at least 70% organic, as well as free of phthalates, flame retardants, heavy metals, and more.

One of the best parts of GOLS and GOTS certifications is that they assure testing for all parts of a product, from the fibers to the zippers, snaps, and buttons.

These products may not be natural fibers, but they're free of phthalates, flame retardants, heavy metals, and more.

OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Certification

CertiPUR-US specifically is related to polyurethane foam. It only certifies the foam itself. You still need to check the other components.
