Coterie Is Sorette Approved in Diapers and Wipes

Common Questions About FAQs

• What does the Sorette Seal of Approval for Coterie mean?

  When a Coterie product earns the Sorette Seal of Approval, it means the brand completed Sorette's Diaper and Wipes Transparency Review and met our internal transparency standards across our evaluation framework. It means Coterie was open, consistent, and clear about how their products are made, sourced, processed, and tested. It is not a safety certification, a medical endorsement, or a guarantee. All decisions about products for your baby should be made in consultation with your pediatrician.

• Did Sorette test Coterie's diapers and wipes?

  No. Sorette does not conduct independent laboratory testing, clinical trials, or facility audits. Our review is documentation-based and limited to assessing the transparency and internal consistency of information provided by the brand. We reviewed disclosures related to materials, processing, and testing practices. We did not independently verify test results. Coterie was the first diaper brand to publish their own third-party testing results, which you can access directly through their website.

• Why does processing matter as much as ingredients in diapers and wipes?

  For diapers and wipes, a finished-goods ingredient list only tells part of the story. How materials are bleached, what's screened for during manufacturing, and how brands trace raw materials through their supply chain all affect what ends up in the final product and against your baby's skin. Our review was designed to ask those questions, not just review what appears on a label.

• What is Sorette's No-Go List™, and how does it apply to diapers and wipes?

  Sorette's No-Go List™ is a science-informed list of known or suspected hazardous substances that we prohibit from products we approve. For diapers and wipes, we built a category-specific extension of the No-Go List™, led by Pavani Gonnabathula, Ph.D, that reflects the unique safety considerations of products worn close to the body for extended periods. This extension covers product-specific materials and processing agents, as well as parameters around testing protocols, including substances like synthetic fragrances, PFAS compounds, phthalates, optical brighteners, and formaldehyde. Coterie's approval means that, based on documentation reviewed, their products do not contain intentionally added substances included on that list.

• What sets Coterie apart from other diaper and wipes brands?

  Coterie designs high-performing baby care essentials with a focus on two things: exceptional performance and thoughtfully selected, high-quality materials. They were the first diaper brand to publish third-party testing results, giving parents direct access to the testing data behind their products. From Sorette's perspective, what sets Coterie apart is their willingness to document and disclose not just what's in their products but how those products are processed and tested.

• Does Sorette Approved mean Coterie is better than other diapers or wipes?

  Sorette does not rank, compare, or declare one product superior to another. Sorette Approved reflects that Coterie met our internal transparency thresholds, not that their products are the right choice for every child. There is no single right answer for every family, and your pediatrician is always your best resource for individual decisions.
