Many mass market baby diapers are bleached with chlorine. Bleaching with chlorine produces a chemical call carcinogenic dioxins. Dioxins pose many serious health risks to your baby’s development, from damaging their immune system to causing hormonal disorders (increasingly common among children).
However, rest assured that Applecrumby™ Diapers are CHLORINE FREE, making it safe to your baby’s bottom and their development!
Anthraquinones is a chemical compound used in baby diaper dyes as well as pulp production. Long-term use of Anthraquinones is linked to a condition call melanosis coli; which increases a person's risk for colon cancer.
To reverse its health risk, a person should stop consuming products using Anthraquinone for at least
15 months.
However, prevention is always better than cure, and hence, Applecrumby™ has made a conscientious decision to only use Anthraquinone Free fluff pulp in all our diapers!
Lignin is a plant cell wall material that is resistant to being broken down by microorganisms. Lignin can be commonly found in the pulp of baby diapers - meaning most diaper pulps are non-biodegradable!
Busy parents today often find themselves in a bind, having to pick between conserving the environment or a stress-free parenting journey. You shouldn’t have to choose.
We’ve taken it upon ourselves to ensure parents can still use diapers made of biodegradable pulp while not sacrificing quality. All Applecrumby™ diapers use fluff pulp that are Lignin Free!

Kindly discontinue use if your baby is found to be not compatible with our diaper material and consult your local physician if the need arises. Just remember, diaper rash is seldom serious. With care, it usually clears within 3-4 days. If it doesn’t go away within 4-7 days, or gets worse, call your baby’s healthcare provider. Otherwise, baby – and parent -- should begin to feel better soon.
Diaper rash is a common form of inflamed skin (dermatitis) that appears as a patchwork of bright red skin on your baby's bottom. It usually affects babies, though anyone who wears a diaper regularly can develop the condition.
Diaper rash can alarm parents and annoy babies. Be assured, diaper rash is a common condition that usually clears up with some simple diapering routines. It most often develops when contact with urine and stools irritate baby’s sensitive skin. Thankfully, today’s 100% Chlorine Free Diapers from Applecrumby™ wick away moisture effectively to keep diaper rash at bay as much as possible.
But sometimes diaper rash still happens. It’s very common between ages 6-12 months, when baby is still primarily sitting and also eating solid foods, which may change bowel movements. Diaper rash can also be an allergic reaction to a certain ingredient in skincare, wipes, laundry detergent or other elements.
Diaper rash can be traced to a number of sources, including, but not limited to:
Prolonged exposure to urine or stool can irritate a baby's sensitive skin. Your baby may be more prone to diaper rash if he or she is experiencing frequent bowel movements or diarrhoea because feces are more irritating than urine.
Tight fitting diapers or clothing that rubs against the skin can lead to a trash.
What begins as a simple skin infection may spread to the surrounding region. The area covered by a diaper — buttocks, thighs and genitals — is especially vulnerable because it's warm and moist, making a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and yeast.
Your baby's skin may react to a certain ingredient in baby wipes like Methylisothiazolinone or even Alcohol, a new brand of disposable diapers that may use a different material in which your baby’s skin might take some getting used to, or a detergent that may contain synthetic fragrance (parfum). Other substances that can add to the problem include ingredients found in some baby lotions namely Paraben or SLS, generic baby powders which is a big no-no today as most contains Talcum, and even baby oils which might use Petrolatum based ingredients.
As babies start to eat solid foods, the content of their stool changes. This increases the likelihood of diaper rash. Changes in your baby's diet can also increase the frequency of stools, which can lead to diaper rash. If your baby is breast-fed, he or she may develop diaper rash in response to something the mother has eaten.
Babies with skin conditions, such as atopic dermatitis or seborrheic dermatitis (eczema), may be more likely to develop diaper rash. However, the irritated skin of atopic dermatitis and eczema primarily affects areas other than the diaper area.
Antibiotics kill bacteria — the good kinds as well as the bad. When a baby takes antibiotics, bacteria that keep yeast growth in check may be depleted, resulting in diaper rash due to yeast infection. Antibiotic use also increases the risk of diarrhea. Breast-fed babies whose mothers take antibiotics are also at increased risk of diaper rash.
You can help avoid rashes from developing and promote healing when a rash is present, at every diaper change with some simple tips:
In the past, it was common to use powders, such as cornstarch or talcum powder, to protect a baby's skin and absorb excess moisture. Doctors no longer recommend this. Inhaled powder can irritate a baby's lungs.
If your baby's skin doesn't improve after a few days of home treatment, talk with your doctor. Sometimes, you'll need a prescription medication to treat diaper rash.
