The required criteria of the Oeko-Tex Association are often far more stringent than national standards. The same requirements are imposed on the products, regardless of the country in which they are produced and analyzed. Through extensive product control and regular visits to textile manufacturers, Oeko-Tex ensures responsible use of chemicals.
The strictest requirements are the ones concerning articles for babies and toddlers up to 3 years of age. While articles worn in contact with the skin also have strict requirements. Molo is certified under product class 1, which achieves all of the above requirements.

RECYCLED – COMINF FULL CIRCLE
At Jellyfish kids, you will find a wide range of sustainable and environmentally kind materials. Recycled plastic bottles and recycled polyester have become a big part of the sustainable journey. Materials that are better for the earth, reducing waste from landfills by reusing them in sustainable styles. By post-consumer waste into new resources, the brands we use repurpose the materials, giving them second life.
THE MATERIALS
Recycled polyester fibers are made from recycled, post-consumer waste, often plastic bottles, diverted from landfills. The production of recycled polyester requires less energy than that of new fibers and generates fewer CO2 emissions. Recycled nylon fibers are mainly made from old fishing nets, which is a great way to reduce the amount of nets and other types of waste, such as discarded nylon carpets, tights and stockings that end up in our oceans as trash vortex’s (trash islands).
ORGANIC CHILDREN'S CLOTHES
For us at Jellyfish Kids, caring for the environment by doing our part for the sustainable future of our children is very important. This is why the brands we choose, use most of their cotton qualities, responsibly and organically made.
The brands we choose, use cotton which is either organic or GOTS* certified organic. But what is the difference? GOTS is a very extensive and far-reaching certification programme, which looks at all aspects of the value chain - from harvesting to the final product, as well as socio-economic factors, such as living wages and not only minimal wage. The term ‘organic cotton’ refers to the yarn from which the products are made.
WHAT DOES GOTS CERTIFIED MEAN?
GOTS stands for Global Organic Textile Standard and is the most recognized certification of organic textiles worldwide. The GOTS certificate guarantees that a product is completely organic, from the sowing and harvesting of raw materials, to the full finish of the product. This means everything from agriculture, harvesting, production, processing and manufacturing, as well as packaging and branding.
GOTS guarantees that a clothing item is made from 95% certified organic fibers and free of hazardous chemicals that can be toxic, carcinogenic, endocrine disrupting or environmentally harmful. At the same time, GOTS also ensures proper working conditions for farmers and seamstresses, so that they have the right to a wage they can live on - that is, a living wage and not just a minimum wage.
By purchasing GOTS certified products, you help to ensure that the product is produced with great care for the environment and those who manufacture the products - for the benefit of our planet and our children.
WHAT DOES ORGANIC COTTON MEAN?
The production of organic cotton protects the environment from a wide range of harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic cotton farming does not allow the use of toxic chemicals, pesticides or GMO’s (genetically modified organisms).
Unlike conventional cotton, organic farmers use ancestral farming methods, such as no-till farming, to preserve the nutritional content of the soil. In this way, organic cotton uses up to 88% less water than conventional cotton.
The deselection of pesticides also has a positive impact on the health of the farmers. By growing organic cotton, the farmers are not exposed to toxic chemicals in the field, because they do not spray the cotton with pesticides, thereby avoiding contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.
ORGANIC CLOTHES CAN BE COLOURFUL
Molo is one of our favourite clothing brands, due to the simple fact that their clothes are fun and colourful while maintaining their high quality! They have been in the fashion industry for many years and have noticed that many associate organic Kids clothes with colourless or neutral tones - but it doesn’t have to be that way. Organic Baby Clothes Cyprus can be colourful – just like Molo!
