Safe products

You should feel confident with our products, knowing they are safe from both an environmental and health perspective.

Chemical Requirements

Chemicals are needed in the production of clothing, for example, in dyeing and printing. Newbie is a part of the KappAhl Group and we impose strict chemical requirements from both an environmental and health perspective, and only collaborate with suppliers who can meet them.

Our requirements are based on EU chemical legislation (such as REACH and the Biocidal Products Regulation) as well as the strictest standards in all countries where we operate. We ensure compliance with our chemical requirements through random inspections conducted by authorized independent laboratories.

You can be confident that our products are free from substances such as biocides and PFAS (a chemical previously used to make garments water-repellent). Many of our products are made from GOTS-certified cotton, ensuring that only the most gentle chemicals on the market are used.

There is a lot of ongoing research on chemicals, and we are members of the Chemical Group run by RISE. The purpose of the group is to disseminate the latest knowledge on chemical and environmental issues.

Carefully Checked Children's Products

Our children's clothing is safe to wear and always undergoes a risk assessment. We comply with product safety laws throughout the entire process from design to production, with extra checks on items like buttons, chemicals, and material choices.

Each children's product is tested to ensure there are no potential or hidden risks, such as loose or sharp small parts, cords, or drawstrings. For instance, the hoods on our children's outerwear are always detachable to minimize the risk of the child getting caught.
