Frequently Asked Questions

Disposable nappies, wipes & skincare

• Why should I choose Kit & Kin nappies?

  Approved by dermatologists, Kit & Kin hypoallergenic eco nappies provide premium, plant-based performance. 

  We use sustainable materials to help end our dependency on nonrenewable resources and protect our planet for the future. 

  Our eco nappies use plant-based materials, derived from sugar-cane which help safeguard your baby from sensitive skin problems like nappy rash. 

  Our super absorbent core contains totally chlorine-free, FSC® certified wood pulp from sustainably managed forests. 

  Our paper packaging is 100% recyclable, and our nappies are produced in a carbon neutral factory in the EU. 

  With a flash dry layer for instant dryness and patented channel technology to evenly distribute liquid around the nappy, your baby’s bottom is better protected from leaks.

  Every nappy subscription protects 5 precious rainforest trees from deforestation. Thanks to your support we help protect acres of threatened rainforest around the world and support women and children living in these areas with educational scholarships, family planning clinics and healthcare. Together, we can make a real difference.

• What are Kit & Kin nappies made from?

  We have replaced much of the plastic you find in standard nappies with sustainable materials that are not only kinder to your baby’s skin but also help to protect the future resources of our world. 

  The outer and inner layers (which are in contact with your baby's skin) are made from plant-based materials derived from sugar cane, making them super gentle and soft for your baby.

  Our nappy’s absorbent core is made using natural cellulose (wood pulp) that is sourced from an FSC® certified forest. The fluff is bleached using oxygen, not chlorine.

  Our adorable animal prints are printed with water-based inks, our paper packaging is 100% recyclable and our nappies are created in a carbon neutral factory in the EU. 

  Traditional nappies are primarily made from plastics, a non-renewable resource derived from oil. These plastic nappies will take anything up to 500 years to biodegrade. Furthermore, oil is a finite resource that will eventually run out, which is why we use sustainable, plant-based materials that are much kinder on our planet.

• Why should I use Kit & Kin skincare?

  Newborn skin is delicate, and so is a baby’s immune system. Skin is the body’s largest organ and absorbs up to 60% of ingredients in the products we apply.

  Your baby deserves the best. You deserve the best. Kit & Kin only use pure oils, gentle herbs and the cleanest ingredients. Our beautiful, gentle yet effective skincare range will help protect your little ones’ soft delicate skin and ensure your family steers clear of any harmful toxins.

  Our skincare is hypoallergenic and has been clinically tested and approved by dermatologists and certified natural by the Soil Association and COSMOS, Europe’s largest regulatory body for cosmetics.

  Products in our skincare range are free-from parabens, silicones, dyes, synthetic fragrances, formaldehyde carriers, gluten, PEGs or most common allergens.

  By choosing Kit & Kin, you are safeguarding and protecting your family from toxic ingredients such as parabens and SLS; these synthetic ingredients are commonly found in other brand’s bath and body products available on shelves. These ingredients are recognised to cause irritation to skin and may even have damaging effects longer term.
