You Googled the ingredients. You asked the questions other brands hope parents don't ask
Good. So did we, before we made a single nappy.
This page exists because you deserve real answers, not marketing language. Here is everything we know, everything we chose, and everything we can prove.
Every ingredient. Our choice. Your baby's skin.
We don't own a factory. We own the standard.
Every material in every Eco Nappii nappy was specified by us — a South African mother who tested every major nappy brand in the world before deciding to build something better. We chose each component deliberately. We required every certification. We approve every batch before it reaches you.
That's not a promise. That's a paper trail.
What you won't find in our nappies
Your baby wears a nappy for up to 12 hours a day, for the first three years of life. We think about that every single day. Here's what we made sure isn't in there.
*We didn't leave these out because we had to. We left them out because your baby deserved better.

The certifications behind every nappy
A badge is only as good as what it stands for. Here's what each of ours actually means.
Allergy Foundation South Africa. Reviewed and approved for sensitive and reactive skin. This is the one that matters most to us, because it matters most to the families who need it most.
Our bamboo is responsibly sourced and independently verified — Chain of Custody confirmed. From forest to fabric, we know where it came from.
An independent European testing authority assessed our materials. We didn't just take anyone's word for it.
Our plant-based material content is independently verified — not self-declared.
The facility that makes your nappies holds internationally recognised certifications for quality management and environmental responsibility.
Before your nappies leave the facility, a QA team signs off. Every time. Every batch. No exceptions.
The European children's safety standard. Yes, we tested the ink too. Because we thought about every single layer.
Why we say Bio-Sustainable™ and not biodegradable
Here's the truth: no disposable nappy in the world is fully biodegradable. Any brand that tells you otherwise isn't being honest with you. So we created our own term, Bio-Sustainable™, because we'd rather tell you the truth about where we are than sound perfect about where we're not.
In practice it means:
Over 65% biodegradable materials
Responsibly sourced 100% bamboo pulp
Longer-lasting performance, fewer nappies, less waste
A genuine commitment to improve every year, and tell you about it
No greenwashing. Ever.
Our standard In plain language
Every decision at Eco Nappii is filtered through three things.
Is it safe?
If we can't confirm it's safe, it doesn't go in. No exceptions. No compromises.
Does it work?
A clean nappy that leaks at 3am helps nobody. Ours is built to last through the night, because performance and safety are not opposites.
Is it honest?
We don't overclaim. We don't greenwash. We tell you exactly where we are and where we're going, even when we're still getting there.
Full transparency, for those who need it most
Our complete ingredient documentation is available to verified health and regulatory organisations, including AFSA and the clinicians on the Eco Nappii Council.
We believe parents who ask hard questions deserve real answers. Not summaries. Not spin.If you are a healthcare provider, pharmacist, or allied health professional and want to review our full documentation, we welcome that conversation.
You chose better, so did we
From one South African mother, o every parent who checks the label, reads the fine print, and refuses to settle.
