What is artificial leather

Artificial leather free from phthalates

 What we use is completely free from so-called phthalates. Phthalates are a group of chemicals traditionally used, for example, as plasticizers in PVC.

That it is phthalate-free means that it can also be used in areas where phthalates are not required. An artificial leather that does not contain phthalates has also proven to be more durable and smells less than most phthalates products. More info about this phthalate and its disadvantages can be found HERE.

Summary:

Phthalates are an agent added to PVC to make it flexible. It is used in many everyday products like hairspray, deo, nail polish cleaning, etc. Companies using phthalates claim that the level of their products is "safe" - a truth with modification because we are exposed from phthalates from different sources, and therefore the level is higher than in the use of only one product. Phthalates can be absorbed into the skin, inhaled, etc. Studies in the United States show that phthalates can, among other things, reduce the quality and number of sperm in men exposed to the material - male fetal male fetuses are also at equal risk when exposed to the mother.
