Innovation at Parasol starts with real parents and real messes. Inspired by a mom navigating a very chaotic restaurant lunch, our new Disposable Bibs and Table Placemats were designed to solve the everyday cleanup struggles other bibs don’t.

Why I Developed Our 100% Organic Cotton Baby Wipes
I started Parasol after hearing one constant from parents: “My baby has sensitive skin—and nothing works.” That’s why we built our 100% organic cotton baby wipes: gentler materials, cleaner choices, and more honest progress on environmental impact—plus added Pro-Vitamin B5 to help keep skin hydrated. With third-party certifications like GOTS, EWG Verified, OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, and the Dermatest® Excellent seal, these wipes are designed to care for baby’s skin (and the world they’ll grow up in).
