Why bamboo
Bamboo is the material we re-engineered to 220gsm — the weight where its softness stops costing you coverage. Below is what the fibre actually does, and where every number comes from.
Captures around 12 tonnes of CO₂ per hectare per year — about 30% more than timber forest.
[IPCC 2025]180-day compostability, tested to ASTM D6400-24. No pesticides and no heavy metals detected.
[Ecotextiles Lab data]A smooth fibre surface with a friction coefficient of ≤0.8, which reduces the mechanical irritation behind sensitive skin.
[OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class I] Applied in: family matching pajama setRegrows to harvest height in 3–5 years, against 10–50 years for timber.
[FAO 2023]Absorbs moisture 3× faster than cotton and releases it 50% quicker. Natural micro-gaps in the fibre keep air moving.
[Textile Res. J. 82:12] Applied in: toddler clothesBamboo kun inhibits 99.8% of S. aureus and E. coli, and the effect holds through 50+ washes.
[AATCC TM100] Applied in: newborn baby clothesBlocks 97.5% of UV radiation, rated UPF 50+.

| Property | Bamboo fabric | Cotton fabric | Polyester fabric |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moisture wicking | Absorbs in around 0.8 s at fibre level — the fastest of the three. | Slows to over 6 s once saturated. | Requires chemical modification to wick at all. |
| UV protection | UPF 50+, blocking 97.5% of UV — and stable when wet. | Around 75% blocking, dropping about 40% when wet. | Needs additives, such as a TiO₂ coating. |
| Antibacterial | Over 90% inhibition, from natural bamboo kun. | Tends to promote bacterial growth. | Over 30% efficacy loss after 20 washes. |
