Why Silicone?

Do you immediately picture shower sealants, glue guns, or black rubbery parts from the automotive world when you hear “silicone”? 
You’re not alone.

Silicone is one of the most misunderstood materials globally. It’s frequently confused with plastic. In reality, food-grade silicone is much better alternative derived from silica sand — the same raw material used to make glass.

In essence, silicone is healthy alternative to plastics, inert as glass, yet flexible and durable. It also does not form micro forms to pollute the environment or penetrate organisms.

Food-grade silicone shares the same high standards as medical-grade silicone — the kind used in surgical implants, artificial organs, and sutures. It’s one of the safest and most reliable materials for baby products and food-contact items.

Backed by Science

The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly advises parents to opt for non-plastic alternatives when choosing baby products. Food-grade silicone is one of their top recommendations.

Why? Because it’s free from harmful emissions, safer and doesn’t leach chemicals even when exposed to heat.

Choosing silicone is not just a modern trend — it's a scientifically supported decision for safer feeding, soothing, and play.
