Hollygreen - with our future eco-warriors in mind

Hollygreen - for our future eco-warriors

At the heart of Happymess is a passion for beautiful things, but also the desire to offer you products that are sustainable. That is why we choose to work with brands that are responsible for the environment and that respect people and our planet. We are proud of this and would like to support the commitment of our brands and present their work through our definition of environmental friendliness - Hollygreen.

The materials we love to use are:

1. Natural sheep wool

Wool has many important advantages for humans and the environment, which we discussed in our previous article. HERE .

After thinking about how wonderfully it affects our body and how well it works in practice, we decided to use it as the main material in our sleeping bags and pillows :)

2. Organic cotton

A new blog post dedicated to organic cotton will be posted on our website soon. Responsible and sustainable production of organic cotton brings a number of benefits to the natural environment.

GOTS provides assurance that materials marked with it meet the rigorous standards of organic farming and have been produced in the spirit of fair trade.

Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certificate attesting to the quality of textile and fabric products that come into direct contact with human skin.

The Organic Content Standard is a certificate awarded to finished products, but it is also necessary to meet strictly defined conditions for harvesting and producing cotton.

So we can proudly boast that we use cotton with such certificates. Be sure to check out our collection !

3. Merino wool

This type of wool has a variety of advantages, but we would like to present the most important ones to you.

• Moisture absorption – is able to absorb moisture up to 35% of its weight. It also draws moisture out, leaving the skin feeling dry even when the clothing is damp.
• Thermoregulation – is characterized by minimal thermal conductivity. The thinner the fiber and the denser the fleece, the better the thermal insulation.
• Flexibility – they retain their shape for many years. Even after stretching, they return to their original shape.
• Easy to clean – thanks to the high content of natural fats, it is harder to get dirty and easier to clean. The clothes do not require frequent washing, because wool regenerates itself when in contact with oxygen.
• Fire resistance – unlike other fibers, merino wool does not melt under the influence of high temperatures. It is the least flammable and the safest – it is self-extinguishing and in case of contact with fire it will not melt or stick to the skin.
• UV protection – has a minimum UPF of 50, which provides complete sun protection.

You already know why our hooded blankets are perfect for your child?

4. Flax

It is anti-allergic and has antibacterial properties. It is very strong, has high resistance to abrasion and stretching. In addition, linen does not electrify. It is also characterized by high moisture absorption and breathability.

Thanks to this, we could use it in the production of our blankets and poncho .

5. Recycled materials

Wanting to teach our children to respect the well-being of our planet, we have chosen products that have been given a new life. They are colorful, durable, functional and, above all, a friend to the environment in which we live.

The watches have a durable "nato" strap made of recycled nylon, which, thanks to the "easy click" system, can be easily removed and re-attached without the use of tools.

The backpacks are made from recycled PET bottles. This means they are environmentally friendly.

The bottles are made of recycled stainless steel. Free of harmful BPA and chemicals.

6. Natural ingredients

Sunscreen Stick Enriched with beeswax and organic vegetable oils such as olive oil, tamanu oil and shea butter. Its formula consisting of 100% naturally occurring ingredients prevents drying of the skin and lips. Filters derived from 100% natural minerals. Non-toxic to the marine environment.

In addition, 17.80% of the cosmetic comes from organic farming and is free from parabens, PEG and silicones.

Swimming rings products are BPA and phthalate free, made of durable PVC designed in a timeless style.

7. Ecocompost;

EKOBO dishes are made of patented BIOBU eco-composite, which is made of recycled bamboo fibers and special food resin. Tested, certified, super safe for Little Ones.

Materials with extraordinary properties, but is there any other way to help nature?

1. Zero waste

This is our way of reducing the waste of usable products. We use this analogy when creating our sleeping bags, to avoid throwing away excess sheep wool we add it inside our pillows so that they are just as soft!

2. Packing

We limit ourselves in this area as much as we can, without giving up the visual charm of our products. We send invoices by email and put our things in reusable cotton bags, which will soon be available in a new edition that has enchanted you.

3. Hand sewn

We are not fans of large plants or factories, which is why we hand over our materials to smaller companies and also support our local market.

4. Our products and nature

To make it fun for children to use our products, we modeled them on what children love most: animals and colors!
