Huggies Special Delivery
Huggies Special Delivery is a high-quality mainstream option that is fragrance-free and dermatologically tested, but it falls short of the gold standard by using Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) pulp instead of the safer Totally Chlorine Free (TCF) standard. While marketed as plant-based, these materials only make up 20% of the diaper's weight, and it lacks the rigorous OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class 1 certification found in top-tier boutique brands.
