As parents, we pay close attention to what goes into our children’s bodies—organic fruits, dye-free medicines, filtered water. But what about what goes on their bodies every day?

For children with skin sensitivities, allergies, eczema, or tactile processing issues, something as simple as a sock seam or a synthetic fabric can be the difference between a comfortable day and an unbearable one. And yet, most of us don’t question the materials in our children’s underwear or socks—despite these being the most intimate, frequently worn items in their wardrobe.

That’s exactly what Melita Cyril began to question when her own son was struggling with eczema as a baby. Frustrated by the lack of options that were truly gentle, toxin-free, and made with safe materials, Melita did what many moms do best: she created a solution herself.
Enter Q for Quinn, a line of premium, GOTS-certified organic socks and underwear designed for children and families who want comfort without compromise. No itchy seams. No harsh dyes. No chemicals with names you can’t pronounce.
Just soft, breathable, high-quality basics that feel like a hug.
The Parenting Struggle Most Don’t See
If your child lives with tactile sensitivities or sensory processing issues, you know the battles: socks that “don’t feel right,” seams that scratch, fabrics that feel “too tight” or “too loose.” Morning routines become emotional marathons.
Q for Quinn’s pieces are not only certified organic and toxin-free—they’re consciously designed with minimal seams, flat stitching, and ultra-soft cotton blends to reduce discomfort and eliminate common triggers for sensitive skin.
“We’ve heard from so many parents who told us that our socks were the only ones their child would wear,” says Melita. “That feedback is everything to us.”
Why Toxin-Free Matters
Most conventional underwear and socks are made with synthetic fibers and treated with chemicals like azo dyes, BPA, and even formaldehyde—yes, formaldehyde—which are linked to skin irritation, endocrine disruption, and worse. These substances can have an outsized impact on kids with eczema, allergies, or delicate skin barriers.
Q for Quinn’s commitment to safety goes beyond marketing—it’s verified through third-party certifications and a rigorous sourcing process. Every pair of underwear or socks is made to meet the highest standard for safety, comfort, and sustainability.
A Brand That Grows With You
Q for Quinn began with children in mind, but the company has since expanded to offer basics for adults and families who care about clean clothing. Moms, dads, and even grandparents are joining the movement—choosing safe, thoughtfully made basics that support healthy skin and responsible manufacturing.
At a time when more parents are asking what’s in my child’s food, it’s also time to ask: What’s in their clothing?
