Barin Toys Baby Teether Whale
Convenient for teething and grasping. Smoothly finished and soft touch. We use only alder wood for teethers. Do You know Why? ALDER wood is used in food industry and in medicine. The alder is extensively used for throat, gum and tooth problems and also to cure injuries. Natural alder wood has a very pleasant taste, so it encourages exploring it again and again in different places and in different variations. Besides alder wood doesn't have sharp grains. Our teethers don't cause an allergic reaction. Wood is always warm on touch. Is it possible to use green wood for unfinished toys? It means that our wood is not green wood or refurbished from old cabinet. All our teethers made from high temperature treated wood. What does it means for you? It means that wood is well dried and insects disinfected. So this wood can't contain insects and other live microorganisms like in green wood. The other side: dried wood can shrink from the water and return to the original size when dried. The green wood is always full of water and can't be dried by normal conditions like dried wood. That is why it can be very attractive to insects and other microorganisms. We insist that natural and organic baby toy have to be without finishing except carefully made sanding and polishing. Varnish and paint hide all woodwork imperfections and wood quality. Even beeswax and oils can be allergic for your baby, besides they hide natural flavor of alder wood. So you taste not wood, but oil. Also oiled toys are faster get dirty: because oil dries very slow, it stays on a surface. Our product is hand carved and highly polished: no sharp edges or splinters. Handcrafted and limited quantity.
