Frequently Asked Questions
General
We are located in Lagos, Nigeria.
Our products are ethically made with your little ones safety and comfort in mind. Clothing, accessories and blankets are made from the finest GOTS organic cotton. While our premium silicone feeding essentials are made from 100% food grade silicone with zero nasties (Bpa, Latex, phthalates free) and also LFGB certified.
Detailed information on the composition of your item can be found in the product specifications for your item online.
Our organic clothing fits true to size, based on average-sized children. Please see size guide on your item listing.
LFGB stands for “Lebensmittel-, Bedarfsgegenstände- und Futtermittelgesetzbuch or “Foods, Consumer Goods and Feedstuffs Code”.
LFGB is the European testing standard for food grade silicone while FDA is the American standard. If silicone passes either testing, it is safe for human consumption.
The main difference lies in the testing method. LFGB tests are the strictest standard and must pass through more comprehensive testing regulations, hence its “premium” status. This is essentially why Paalm is proud to offer a range of safe LFGB-certified silicone for your little one.
