Let’s start at the beginning. What is linen fabric with an Oeko-Tex® and Masters of Flax Fibre™ label? And why it is so important that linen is Oeko-Tex® and Masters of Flax Fibre™ certified.
What is an Oeko-Tex® quality mark?
An Oeko-Tex® quality mark guarantees the consumer that the textile does not contain any harmful substances or chemicals . The linen fabric is tested for harmful substances, from thread to end product. If it meets the high safety requirements, the linen is awarded the Oeko-Tex® quality mark. This quality mark means that it is safe for everyone’s health. Every thread, button or other accessory on the end product is tested for more than 1000 harmful substances.
Is there a lot of skin contact with the end product, such as with bedding? Then the product undergoes an even more stringent test.
The fact that all these tests are necessary shows how important it is that the textiles you buy have an Oeko-Tex® quality mark. If you buy linen bedding with an Oeko-Tex® quality mark, you are assured of a safe product without nasty chemicals
