OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Certified: What's Actually in Your Fabric
When something sits against your skin all day, you want to know what’s in it. Not just what a brand says is in it, but what’s actually, independently and verifiably there. That’s what OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification is designed to help confirm.
What Is OEKO-TEX Standard 100?
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is one of the world’s most recognized textile safety certifications. It tests fabrics against a broad list of harmful substances including residual chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides and PFAS. Certification is only granted when products meet strict safety limits.
The important part is that the testing is independent. This is not internal brand testing. Accredited third-party laboratories assess every part of the fabric, including yarns, dyes, finishes and trims, not just the final garment.
What It Means When Boody Fabrics Are OEKO-TEX Certified
Every Boody fabric that carries OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification has been independently verified as:
-
Free from harmful levels of toxic substances
-
Safe for prolonged, direct contact with skin
-
PFAS-free and made without per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances
-
Free from harmful residual processing chemicals
-
Tested against internationally recognized safety standards
For products worn closest to skin, underwear, bras, socks and babywear, this level of testing matters. It’s part of the baseline for how we approach product safety.
Which Boody Products Are OEKO-TEX Certified?
We hold OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification across our core collections, including Women's Bras, Women's Underwear, Undershorts, Thongs, Period & Leak Proof Underwear, Socks, Women's Loungewear, Goodnight Sleep Range, Women's Clothing, Men's Underwear, Men's Clothing, Bamboo Tech Fleece Sweats and Babywear.. Additional collections continue to be certified as part of our ongoing approach to transparency.
OEKO-TEX and PFAS
PFAS, sometimes called “forever chemicals,” have been identified in certain textiles where chemical finishes are used to create water-resistant or stain-resistant properties. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 includes PFAS within its harmful substances testing, helping provide reassurance around what is and is not present in the fabric.
Boody’s Period & Leak Proof Underwear collection has also been independently tested by TUV Rheinland in Germany to verify zero traces of PFAS. Two separate layers of verification, one clear outcome.
Independent Testing Beyond OEKO-TEX
In addition to OEKO-TEX certification, Boody fabrics are independently tested by SGS, a globally recognized testing organization, to assess fabric durability, quality, chemical compliance and labeling accuracy. Together, these independent verification processes help ensure our products meet recognized standards for safety, consistency and performance.
Why This Matters to Us
We believe the first thing you put on in the morning should feel good in every sense. Not just soft and comfortable, but genuinely safe and independently verified. OEKO-TEX certification is one of the ways we hold ourselves accountable to that standard.
