The main absorbent used in Moomin Baby diapers is pure Finnish cellulose, from sustainably managed forests. To ensure that the diaper has sufficient absorbency and stays dry, a small amount of a moisture-absorbing powder called superabsorbent (SAP) is mixed with the cellulose. The superabsorbent we use is completely safe and hypoallergenic, and is also used in the food industry. It has been used for decades in diapers, menstrual pads, urinary incontinence pads, etc.


The bright balls in a child’s diaper are precisely this moisture-retaining absorbent powder, which turns into a gel-like substance, visible to the eye, when the liquid is absorbed. It binds not only liquid but also odour, helping to keep the diaper surface dry. It also prevents the spread of bacteria, rashes and other skin problems. Gel balls in the diaper or on the skin are not harmful to the baby. The absorbent powder binds moisture to the absorbent layer of the diaper, and normally gel balls do not rise to the surface of the diaper. However, this sometimes occurs when the diaper is very wet. We recommend changing the diaper more frequently.
