wHY TYZE?

Why Our Material Matters 

100% European Food-Grade Silicone

Unlike standard hoodie strings made from cotton, polyester, or blends that can harbor bacteria and absorb chemicals, Tyze is crafted entirely from European food-grade silicone. Not just the chewable ends — the entire string is infant-safe. This is part of what makes our product truly patentable and unique.

Why European Food-Grade?

Most baby products in the U.S. are considered safe after being used and tested under FDA guidelines.
European standards are different. Under the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority), materials must be proven safe before they are approved for use. That means every Tyze string meets a higher global safety standard right from the start.

The Hidden Risks of Standard Hoodie Strings

Bacteria from Skin and Environment
Standard hoodie strings can harbor a range of bacteria commonly found on human skin and fabrics:

  • Staphylococcus 

  • Corynebacterium 

  • Cutibacterium Micrococcus 

  • Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Enhydrobacter 

Chemicals from Laundry Detergents
When babies chew on untreated cotton or polyester strings, they may ingest harmful chemicals left behind by detergents, such as:

  • VOCs (acetone, acetaldehyde)

  • Carcinogens (1,4-dioxane, formaldehyde)

  • Endocrine disruptors (nonylphenol ethoxylates)

  • Skin irritants (fragrances, dyes)

Tyze eliminates these risks — it’s non-porous, antimicrobial, and toxin-free.
