At Soft Essentials, we’re committed to creating products that feel good to wear and do good for the planet. Our product development team carefully sources materials and packaging with sustainability in mind, guided by globally recognized certifications and environmental standards.
We know that no production is impact-free. That’s why we avoid greenwashing or making claims we can’t fully stand behind. Instead, we focus on reducing our carbon footprint wherever possible and creating high-quality, long-lasting essentials with care and integrity.
🌿Smarter Packaging, Less Waste
We’ve eliminated unnecessary packaging elements such as plastic polybags and branded hang tags. We use biodegradable paper bags certified by ESTS (Extensive Standard Technical Services Co., Ltd.), part of the Cotecna Group, and compliant with FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) standards to protect your items. These certifications ensure our paper products come from responsibly managed forests.
We currently use a PE insert to help our bras keep their shape, but we’re actively working on finding a more eco-friendly alternative.
✅ Safe & Certified Fabrics
All dyed and printed knitted fabrics used in our bras and tops are tested and certified to meet OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100. This ensures your skin stays free from harmful substances at every production stage, from yarn to the finished garment.
We also partner with ETKO-certified suppliers to ensure safe, responsible textile processing, including:
-
Dyeing
-
Finishing
-
Printing
-
Washing & Laundering
♻️ Recycled Materials
Where possible, we incorporate materials certified under the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), which verifies at least 20% recycled content. GRS also ensures responsible chemical use and ethical working conditions during production.
