About STANDARD100 by “OEKO-TEX®”Certification
~Friendly-to-skin quality~
STANDARD100 by “OEKO-TEX®” is an international safety certification to be granted only to the textile products which have fulfilled the
strict standards as a result of analysis and experiments covering more than 350 kinds of hazardous chemical substances conducted
by certification inspection units under OEKO-TEX®International Community. For using this certification label, all materials and chemicals used in the products must clear their experimental standards. In other words, products with this label are “proved” to possess high safety standard.

Background of product launch
Unicharm is striving to safeguard the promising future of babies by, not to mention, providing the safe and secure products and working very hard on the ORGABITS project*, a sustainable activity that is friendly to our planet. In 2019, we have acquired “OEKO-TEX®Certification”, a proof of world highest safety standard, which was adopted to “Natural Moony”, a premium product in Japan. We are now launching “Mamy Poko Premium Baby Wipes” in Taiwan-Greater China featuring both high quality and friendly-to-environment.
