I still remember the feeling of breathing inside my Cinderella mask just before my mom snapped a photograph on Halloween night. The narrow eye slits impaired my vision and the elastic band got tangled in my already knotted hair. The heat and humidity inside that thick plastic mask made my face sweat, and my shallow breaths sounded eerily like Darth Vader. Needless to say, I whipped off that thing shortly after heading outside to knock on neighbors’ doors. Even then, I wasn’t willing to compromise comfort for (plastic) beauty.

Beware: toxic chemicals lurk in most mass-produced Halloween costumes

While we’ve come a long way since dime-store princess masks, toxic costumes still haunt most store aisles. Many are made of PVC and contain lead and phthalates, a type of chemicals used to add flexibility to plastic. A study by HealthyStuff.org revealed that many popular character costumes and accessories contained potentially harmful flame retardants containing toxins, heavy metals and chemicals.

A treat to wear again and again

Our range of Tot-tested, nontoxic Halloween costumes are all made of soft, comfortable fabrics like rugged canvas and cozy wool, soft cotton and nylon tulle, along with eco-friendly inks and water-based dyes. Plus, they’re made to last well beyond Halloween. Your kids will love wearing them around the house, on play dates, to costume parties and just because.
