About the
Babysoy Collection
Using simple and fresh designs, babysoy has created a
sustainable and modern baby wardrobe for eco-babies without sacrificing
comfort or style. Most of all, it is made with nature's own ingredient -
soybean protein fiber. It is about recycle, reduce and reuse soybean
pulp to create baby's first wardrobe.
Soybean Fiber: Soybean protein fiber is a sustainable
and botanical textile fiber made from renewable and biodegradable
natural resources - the leftover soybean pulp from tofu and soy milk
production. Its 16 amino acids are healthy and nutritional for our skin.
It is a green textile fiber that possesses the superiorities of many
natural and synthesized fibers.
From Soy to Fiber: 1. Proteins are extracted from the
leftover materials of tofu or soy milk production. 2. Protein liquids
are forced through a device resembling a showerhead, called a spinneret,
to make liquid soy. This is called wet-spinning. 3. Liquid soy is
solidified to make soybean protein fiber. After protein is extracted
from the leftover soybean pulp, it can be used as fertilizer. All
substances used in the production of soybean protein fiber are of a
harmless nature (thus can be used as fertilizer).
Benefits of
Soy: Soybean fiber is a soft, light, and smooth protein fiber. It is
smoother than cashmere and has the same moisture absorption as cotton
but with a better moisture transmission, making it more comfortable on
the skin. It is hydroscopic, air pervious, soft, smooth, dry and has
superior warmth retention that’s comparable to wool.
Non-GMO Beans: All soybeans are non-GMO (genetically
modified organism) beans. Non-GMO soybeans cannot be treated or exposed
to chemical pesticides during storage.
Soy Fiber + Cotton: We
combine the benefits of soybean protein fiber to cotton such as luster,
moisture-permeability, quick-dry ability and drape while keeping our
cost and your price reasonable and affordable. This is so that more
parents can join in on the green movement and more babies can benefit
from the healthy botanical textile fiber. In addition, soybean fiber is
so soft that it needs a longer length fiber to build a structure for the
super soft textile.
Type of Cotton: Babysoy uses
long-staple cotton also known as Sea-Island cotton from Xinjiang, China.
Xinjiang's environment and climate pattern is ideal for cotton
production partly due to its scarcity of pests in the region, which
keeps down pesticides usage.
Helping Our Environment: Babysoy’s
baby and tots line are sustainable and eco-friendly. This is because
soybean fiber is a textile that is made from recycled material and it
does not add any extra burden to mother nature.
Snaps +
Zippers: All snaps and zippers are made by world-renowned YKK and
are nickel-free, making dressing-time safe and easy.
Color Palette: Nature's inspiration turns outfit
creation into a breeze. Our line is designed to easily mix-and-match
from head-to-toe.
Fairly Made: Babysoy puts endless efforts in offering
parents an eco-friendly and affordable layettes line made by artisans
who are fairly-treated in a safe working environment. Co-founders
personally conducts unannounced factory inspection at least 4 times a
year.
