BABICLO babywear and children's clothing is made from organic cotton, organic merino wool, organic silk, TENCEL™ Lyocell and TENCEL™ Micro Modal, with TENCEL™ denim coming soon, and ECONYL® regenerated nylon for our swimwear. Most of our pieces are made by our main production partner in Portugal, which is GOTS certified (Control Union, CU852010), certified to the Global Recycled Standard, SMETA audited, a certified B Corporation and a Better Cotton member. Products that carry the GOTS label say so on their product page. We chose not to use virgin or even recycled polyester mixed fabrics, as separating polyester blends for recycling takes too much effort and too many chemicals.

Instead of just stating the obvious like many ´sustainable´ brands ¨we as well as the industry have a long way to go¨, we are being specific about the current projects and improvements we are working on, regularly updated under Ongoing Improvements in Our Sustainability Efforts

Given that our pieces include both woven and knitted baby and children's wear – gowns, bodysuits, rompers, sweaters, socks and beachwear – we work with a small number of factories in Portugal that specialise in the styles we produce. Each piece contains information about its own production.

Prior to selecting the production partners, we scouted dozens of factories in Portugal, observing the production and the workers with our own eyes, inquiring about origin of yarns and traceability, and other factory practices making sure the production is taking place in a community that values the well-being of its employees and ensures fair trade and safe working conditions.

Most of our pieces are made by our main production partner, which has passed a SMETA audit (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit, covering labour, health and safety, environment and business ethics), is a certified B Corporation, and holds GOTS and Global Recycled Standard certification. Our socks are made by a specialist sock maker, also in Portugal.

We promised to become your you standard in sustainable children clothing.One of the inherent aspects of it is supply chain transparency as well as transparent pricing. To better grasp the value of the items you purchase, you should be be aware of what you are paying for. We want to offer high-quality, ethically created apparel that feels comfortable and looks wonderful while being as reasonably priced as possible. You'll notice that the true cost of our goods is frequently higher than the final retail price of fast fashion items. Truly sustainable and ethical production is never cheap. However, we have a markup that is lower than the industry norm in order to keep our retail price at a level that is sustainable (please refer to each product price breakdown).Learn more on our informational page explaining the overall concept of our retail prices Pricing Transparency.

What touches your child's skin matters. Our GOTS-labelled pieces are made under GOTS chemical rules, which ban or strictly limit harmful substances in dyeing and finishing, such as formaldehyde, heavy metals and azo dyes. The TENCEL™ fibres we use are certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, product class I, the strictest class, for baby items. GOTS also covers how organic cotton and wool are grown: without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides. TENCEL™ Lyocell is made from responsibly sourced wood in a closed-loop process that recovers and reuses its solvents, minimising the environmental impact of production.

We are dedicated to eliminating waste throughout our supply chain. Each order is packaged in a lovely reusable organic cotton drawstring pouch or a reusable compostable waterproof bag (for swimwear), and the deliveries are sent in envelopes-boxes that are 100 percent compostable or biodegradable. All the paper-cardboard used is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified, meaning the wood is harvested from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits.

Ecommerce deliveries undoubtedly have a carbon footprint. This is why we back innovative cutting-edge businesses that purge carbon from the atmosphere. Together, member companies have shipped millions of orders carbon-neutrally and taken thousands of tonnes of carbon out of the atmosphere. A formula is used to determine the expected shipping emissions for each purchase we receive. Based on those projections, a percentage of our earnings is distributed to carbon removal businesses that have passed scrutiny by Carbon Direct experts. The money is used by those businesses to offset however much carbon our shipments produced.

We are committed to donating part of our profits to eligible charities in the UAE, or any emergency cause world-wide supporting children in need. Currently, we are working on selecting eligible institutions to support.
