Coterie Diapers: Materials, Chemicals, and Safety Scorecard
share this article

Parents often want to know two things up front: what a diaper is made from and whether it contains concerning chemicals. This scorecard evaluates Coterie only on what the company publicly discloses. We do not test products, make medical or toxicity claims, or promise outcomes.
How this scorecard works
Coterie is evaluated across five disclosure pillars parents commonly care about. Grades reflect specificity, clarity, and consistency of disclosure, not product performance or health effects.
Materials & Fiber Sources
Score: A-
Coterie states its diapers use a plant-based topsheet and a wood-pulp absorbent core that is totally chlorine-free (TCF) bleached. Diapers are disclosed as fragrance- and lotion-free.
Chemical Additives & Treatments
Score: A
Coterie states it avoids added fragrance, lotions, phthalates, parabens, latex, and dyes in materials that contact skin. Exclusions are specific and consistently stated, rather than implied.
Certifications & Third-Party Standards
Score: A
Coterie lists OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification and states its wood pulp is responsibly sourced. Certifications indicate third-party screening but do not guarantee suitability for every child.
Transparency & Disclosure Quality
Score: A
Materials, exclusions, and processing details are explained clearly using concrete language instead of vague terms like “clean” or “non-toxic.”
Environmental & Manufacturing Practices
Score: B
Coterie discusses sourcing and sustainability at a high level, but does not clearly disclose manufacturing locations or provide detailed end-of-life impact information.
Overall Score — A-
Based on public disclosures, Coterie is unusually specific about materials and chemical exclusions, but offers more limited transparency around where diapers are made.
