Sustainable natural rubber latex

Sustainable natural rubber latex

Our latex pacifiers from BIBS, Frigg and Mininor give you as a parent options, all teats are the same but the sheilds give you slightly different ashetic variations. 
All suppliers are committed to ensuring that the materials used are both safe, of high quality, and do not harm the environment.

All pacifiers we sell are certified to conform to the EU directive concerned with safety, health, and the environment. (Pacifier Safety requirements by European standard EN 1400+A2).

For our latex teats,  100% natural rubber latex is used. Natural rubber latex is a natural material made from the sticky milky fluid tapped from the Hevea tree. The fluid is refined to the brown/yellow rubber you know from your pacifiers; a super soft, elastic, and resilient material very much resembling the mother’s soft nipple.
