Frequently Asked Questions
The full life of the infusion is approximately 30 washes, when laundered using our specific care instructions (See care label: Machine wash warm, normal, with like colors. Tumble dry low heat). Even when the infusion does wash out, it won’t change the look or feel of the garment. The softness, durability, and cool style will not wash out. We recommend that you try not to wash your Softsie products after each wear, and only do so when obviously soiled. This will help your child receive the maximum benefit from the infusion (and it will save you time on laundry, too!)
YES! Softsie products are 100% safe. Aloe vera, jojoba oil, and vitamin E have been used safely on the skin of all ages for thousands of years. The infusion is 100% organic, all-natural, fragrance-free, nut-free, dairy-free, vegan and hypoallergenic. The three ingredients are embedded into the yarns of the fabric in their unrefined, pure form - free of chemicals or additives. The infusion technology applied to our fabrics has been tested for child safety and is done in a controlled laboratory setting. Our products meet all CPSC Safety Requirements as discussed in this short regulation: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/16/1107.30. Our fabric and infusion are 100% organic and meet requirements of Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and GOTS 4.0 Our products are not flame resistant and, therefore, should fit snugly for child's safety since loose fitting garments are more likely to catch fire. Our products were designed so that they meet all of the snug-fit measurement requirements according to the CPSC. Our products have gripped soles to avoid slips and snap tab buttons to protect the zippers. Our snap tab buttons and zippers have been tested and are free of lead and phalates.
When faced with a stain on Softsie products, we recommend a child-safe stain remover, which should do the trick. Regular day-to-day exposure to UVB/UVA rays will not affect the infusion, softness, or coloring of Softsie products. Softsie products will not be significantly altered by exposure to any extreme seasonal temperature.
All Softsie products are machine washable and dryable using the appropriate laundering instructions found on the care label. Be sure to follow these instructions each time you wash your Softsie products in order to obtain the full life of the infusion and to maintain the high quality color and softness. And, try to wash your Softsie products only when obviously soiled, to maintain the maximum benefit of the infusion. We always recommend using baby-safe detergent. The infusion process allows for the infusion to remain deep within the yarn fibers of the fabric, therefore it will not rub onto or stain other clothes in the wash and It will not cause any gunk or buildup in your washer or dryer. Softsie products will not rub off onto sheets, toys, or furniture. The particles infused into the fabric will only release when in direct contact with human skin
TIPS: To help maintain the softness and infusion even longer, wash your Softsie pieces separately (or with other Softsie)! After washing, hang dry them 50-75% of the way, then toss them in the dryer on low heat to fluff them up!
Yes! And Yes! The infusion offers a gentle hydration that is healthy for all children with all skin types. It is healthy and safe for your little one to eat, play, and sleep in Softsie products for as long as you and they desire!
Let me first say, I would never produce or endorse a product that I wouldn’t wholeheartedly use on my own child. I first tested this product on my then, 1-year-old daughter. I also have had several other Moms, including non-biased Moms, sample this product with their own little ones. All of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities, some with children who have dry skin, some that don’t. And the reviews have been nothing but positive, with many customers reporting improvements in the condition of their little one's skin! Having said that, I understand a Mom’s skepticism about anything that touches their child, so please scroll through our FAQ section for answers to common questions. Please feel free to email me anytime with other questions or comments. Note: We are 100% transparent that Softsie products are not a clinically proven cure for eczema and/or any other skin irritation. The idea is that our products will help to soothe dry and/or irritated skin, but that it also will help to maintain the health and softness of normal skin as well.
Tiny, microscopic capsules that contain aloe vera, jojoba oil, and vitamin E are infused into the already knitted fabric by dipping the fabric into a mixture containing these microcapsules and letting the fabric dry in a mild condition. The infusion becomes deeply embedded into the yarns of the fabric as it dries and is only released through direct contact with human skin. This infusion is applied as the last step in conventional finishing process.
You will not believe the softness! What your baby will feel is just what you feel, a silky soft, heavenly feel. This does not go away, even when the garment is washed dozens of times and infusion washes out completely.
