Made differently. On purpose.
Most stuffed animals are made from polyester — a plastic that requires chemical flame retardants to be considered safe. Those chemicals have been linked to skin irritation, allergies, and more serious concerns like immune system and neurological effects. Scrub Hug is built on a completely different standard. Every material was chosen with one question in mind: would you want this next to your child's skin?
-
100% organic cotton
Grown without pesticides, insecticides, or herbicides. Naturally soft, hypoallergenic, and safe for the most sensitive skin.
-
Organic kapok filling
A natural plant fiber — silky, lightweight, and hypoallergenic. Sustainably harvested, with no synthetic alternatives.
-
Certified organic dyes
No harsh chemicals, no heavy metals. The soft teal color is achieved without anything you'd want to keep away from a child.
-
Naturally flame-retardant
Because Scrub Hug is made with 100% organic cotton, it is naturally flame-retardant. No chemical treatments needed or used.
-
Safety by design
No bead eyes — eyes are stitched on. The pocket heart is secured with a ribbon. No loose parts, no small pieces. Every detail considered, from birth.
-
EN71 and ASTM safety tested
Meets rigorous U.S. and international toy safety standards. Inspected by Intertek. Safe from birth.
Why this matters for healthcare families
You work in a world where materials matter. You know what's in things — and what shouldn't be. Scrub Hug was designed for families who hold that standard at home too. No polyester. No flame retardant chemicals. Nothing you'd think twice about.
Just something soft, steady, and safe for your child to hold.
Why this matters in care settings
Children in hospitals and pediatric care settings often have compromised immune systems or heightened sensitivities. The comfort objects they're given matter more than most people realize.
Scrub Hug contains no heavy metals, no chemical flame retardants, and no synthetic fibers. It is made from the same organic, chemical-free standard you'd want for the most vulnerable children in your care.
Surface clean with mild soap and air dry.
