Noting its technology-driven textiles, the National Eczema Association honored Halo Innovations with an NEA Seal of Acceptance for its Technical Comfort System. The System features coordinating pieces made of CoolMax, a breathable, high-performance fabric that active parents have enjoyed themselves for years; the high-tech line also keeps baby’s skin healthy and safe all year long. The NEA Seal of Acceptance is awarded to products intended for children and adults with eczema or sensitive skin.

It took me 6 months to decide what fabric to use for my line. When deciding on this fabric, I found there were so many different grades of minky chenille that I needed the find the best.

While researching fabric, I also found many young children are attracted to the textiles or the bumps of the ultra soft fabric. Knowing this fact helped me with the decision to make everything in my line have the minky chenille fabric in some way.

Good Gracious!
