Moltex Oko disposable diapers
Filed Under General | Trackback
The Moltex Oko disposable baby diaper is marketed as am eco friendly disposable diaper that is also better for your baby. There are no added chemicals as found in the mainstream brands. These chemicals, such as lotions and deodorants are used to keep odours away. Unfortunately these can cause rashes and other problems such as fungi and viruses. The Oko diapers use a green tea leaf extract to help with odours.
Twenty percent of the absorbant gel has also been replaced with a totally biodegradable absorbant gel made from maize (corn) starch. Being a natural product this also tends to prevent for formation of ammonia which can also cause skin rashes. Of course the diapers are also 100% chlorine free. These diapers might take a bit of getting used to because they aren’t the traditional white colour. Using 50% unbleached cellulose and b leaching with hydrogen rather than chlorine it gives them a natural brown colour.
The breathable backsheet is made from 100% biodegradable materials as is the packaging. All this means a fully compostable diaper without the need to add to landfill or be burnt, which just causes a bunch of other issues.
For details about the range see the Oko Loco website.
