Safety & Ingredients

Safe enough for the littlest hands. Tested like it matters.

Everything we make is designed for kids ages 1 and up, which means safety isn't a feature — it's the whole point.

Our promises

  • Non-toxic, always. Our inks and crayon formulas are non-toxic and certified to ASTM D-4236, the U.S. safety standard for art materials.
  • Washable & wash-out. Dot marker inks are formulated to wash out of most clothing and wipe off most surfaces. Drop the marker — keep the rug.
  • Pediatric-safe design. Chunky barrels and sponge tips sized for tiny pincer grips, with no small parts on our markers.
  • No nasty stuff. No solvents you can smell across the room, no surprises.

Ingredients, plainly

Our dot marker inks are water-based, using safe colorants with water as the primary base. Our chunky crayons are soy-wax based with non-toxic pigments. If you ever need a full ingredient breakdown for an allergy, a school, or your own peace of mind, just ask — we'll send it over.
