Chrome Free Leather
Chromium compounds may be absorbed
through the
skin and the wearing of leather shoes that have been
tanned with chromate's can produce irritating and
unsightly dermatitis of the feet.
The chromium residue in the leather
can also be ingested if babies are to suck their shoes.
We
believe that our children should be given the best
possible start and this is why we offer a product
that is both natural and safe.
All of our shoes are made from leather
that has been tanned using vegetable extracts. This process
poses no threat to little feet. Tanning in this way
also carries benefits for the environment, as we are
not adding to the distribution of unnecessary heavy
metals that are a bi product of mineral tanning.
It also means that Daisy Roots shoes
are truly biodegradable. The chrome free leather that we
use
exceeds the British Standard required to pass
BS EN 71-3, (safety for toys and playthings).
The dyes that are used in the production of our
chrome free leather are also completely safe for
babies and non-toxic.
