10 Reasons To Love Bamboo Body
Here are just some of the reasons to love our bamboo clothing:
Luxuriously Soft and Comfortable
Our bamboo clothing is incredibly soft, light and comfortable to wear. Many Bamboo Body customers report that once they wear our bamboo clothes, they don't want to wear anything else! Made from bamboo viscose and organic cotton, our bamboo fabric has a beautiful drape and feels luxuriously soft and smooth against your skin.
Breathable
Studies have shown that bamboo clothing is more breathable than cotton and its moisture wicking properties help keep your body fresh and dry. Many customers who wear our bamboo socks have claimed that they can wear the socks for days on end and they still feel soft and comfortable.
Skin friendly
Our Bamboo Body fibre is OEKO-Tex100 certified which means the fabric is free from harmful chemicals and residues. Many people with skin sensitivities such as eczema and psoriasis report that our bamboo clothing does not irritate their skin like most other fabrics do. Bamboo is also naturally hypoallergenic and is smooth on your skin.
Sun Protection
Our black Bamboo Body clothing has been certified UPF 50+ by ARPANSA. We are in the process of testing more of our fabric colours to confirm their UPF ratings and many of our styles have a higher neckline and longer sleeves for extra sun protection.
Organic
The Bamboo Body range is made with organically grown bamboo. Our bamboo crop is grown without the use of pesticides, fertilisers or chemicals. No irrigation is required and there is no genetic modification.
Sustainable Fabric
Bamboo is one of the most sustainable and renewable resources in the world. Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on Earth (it is the Guinness World Record holder!) and is one of the few plants that can keep up with deforestation - bamboo only takes 5 years to mature compared to 30-40 years for trees. Bamboo roots also prevent soil erosion.
FSC Certified
Our bamboo crop comes with the tick of approval from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The FSC provides the gold standard in environmental forest certification and promotes the responsible management of the world's forests, ensuring that the harvest of timber does not destroy the habitats of protected species or take away precious resources from the people and economies that depend on them.
Sustainable Design
We consider the entire lifecycle of a product and our focus is to provide beautiful clothing that will be worn time and time again. Our collection is trans-seasonal, versatile and classically stylish, not trend driven. It is simple and classic. We design everyday essentials in staple wardrobe colours and sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.
Eco Friendly
Bamboo requires no pesticides, fertilisers and very little water to grow. Bamboo absorbs carbon dioxide and emits 30% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees. Our garments are produced to the highest standards of sustainability and our factory is committed to reducing emissions and recycling waste.
Ethical Production
At Bamboo Body we are committed to benefitting the world we live in, and take the welfare of the men and women in our production line very seriously. We are committed to keeping high standards of safety and creating a beneficial work environment. Our clothing factories do not employ workers under the age of 18 (in fact our youngest worker is currently 30 years old) and their working conditions and payment is fair and above standards.
