White

You have selected products in white color or products where white predominates. We also include products in light cream shades. White is a neutral shade and can be suitably combined with all other colors. But watch out for the combination of different shades of white. Less pronounced white shades will look gray and drab in combination with bright white. White is the color of purity, cleanliness and neutrality. White means new beginnings, freshness and innocence. The color white also has a calming effect. It is not surprising that many cultures associate the color with goodness and positive things. For example, in China and Japan, white represents luck and happiness. The bride wears white on her wedding day, which symbolizes her purity. White is also seen as a sign of freshness (think milk or freshly fallen snow), which can give products an appealingly clean appearance. When it comes to interior design or fashion choices, white can create a feeling of spaciousness or cleanliness – perfect for small apartments or cluttered closets! The color white can convey simplicity and sophistication at the same time.

Oeko-Tex® Standard 100

Öko-Tex Standard 100 is an international testing and certification system for textiles made only from non-hazardous materials. This designation is registered by the OEKO-TEX association with branches in many countries. Its scope of work is to check the health safety of textiles. Clothing marked with the Öko-Tex Standard 100 logo must meet demanding quality criteria. These are based on the latest scientific knowledge and are constantly updated. The samples are tested for harmful substances such as formaldehyde, pesticides, heavy metals, chlorinated hydrocarbons and others. The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 was created in 1992 as a response to consumer concern about the use of harmful chemicals in textile production. The Standard defines what substances are acceptable for use in products that come into contact with human skin and establishes limits for their concentration. To date, over 16,000 companies in 89 countries have been certified to the Oeko-Tex Standard 100. The concept behind the Standard is that it should be possible to produce textiles in an environmentally friendly and socially responsible manner while ensuring product safety for consumers. The choice of raw materials, manufacturing processes and quality control systems used by a company all play a role in determining whether or not a product meets the criteria set out by the Oeko-Tex Standard 100. There are three levels of certification under the Oeko-Tex Standard 100: Product Class I (suitable for direct contact with baby skin), Product Class II (suitable for general consumer products) and Product Class III (suitable for industrial applications). In order to achieve certification at one of these levels, companies must provide evidence that their products meet strict requirements regarding the content of certain regulated substances. They must also put systems in place to ensure ongoing compliance with these requirements. Products that carry the Oeko-Tex label have undergone testing at every stage of production – from raw materials through to final finished goods – by independent laboratories accredited by IAQA (the International Association for Research and Testing in the Field of Textile Ecology). These tests screen for more than 350 regulated substances known or suspected to be harmful to human health. If any of these substances are found present above specified concentrations, the product will not be certified under theStandard.
