Introducing Pigeon's SofTouch Bio-based Bottles

Together, we nurture their tomorrow

In the journey of parenthood, every choice matters. From the food we feed our little ones to the products we use, we're constantly seeking options that are safe, gentle, and sustainable. That's why we're thrilled to introduce Pigeon's latest innovation: The SofTouch™ Bio-based Nursing Bottles. Crafted with a revolutionary biomass material, these Pigeon baby bottles are designed to nurture your baby and our planet.

Introducing SofTouch™: An Innovative & Sustainable Nursing Bottle

We're proud to introduce the SofTouch™ Bio-based bottle, an innovative and sustainable nursing bottle, attributed with 20% Biomass Polypropylene (Biomass-PP) for all PP parts. Biomass-PP is a more sustainable form of plastic made from renewable feedstocks* such as used cooking oil and tall oil (a by-product from paper/wood pulp production). 

What Makes Bio-based Bottles Different?

At the heart of Pigeon's new SofTouch™ bottles lies a commitment to sustainability. Traditional plastic bottles often rely on fossil fuels, contributing to environmental concerns. Our bio-based bottles, however, are made from a unique biomass material derived from renewable plant resources that don’t contribute to deforestation or compete with food production. This means they have a significantly reduced environmental footprint, helping to create a healthier future for our children and future generations to come.

Benefits for Baby and Planet:

Benefits for Baby:

We understand that your baby's safety is paramount. Rest assured, our Biomass-PP bottles are just as safe and high-quality as Pigeon's traditional bottles, offering all the features you've come to trust with The Pigeon Softouch Baby Bottles that have now been significantly enhanced. They now offer more remarkable softness and elasticity, closely mirroring a mother's breast, ensuring a natural feel. The unique nipple shape encourages a deep latch-on, allowing your baby to replicate their natural breastfeeding tongue movements effortlessly.

Plus, the new Latch-on Line provides a clear visual guide, making proper latch positioning more effortless than ever. These improvements work together to create an even smoother and more comfortable transition between breastfeeding and bottle feeding, ensuring your baby feels nurtured and satisfied. To ensure you select the correct teat for your baby's age and feeding needs, please refer to our teat selector guide: Pigeon Bottle and Teat Selector.

- BPA-free and phthalate-free: Ensuring no harmful chemicals come into contact with your baby.

- Soft, Peristaltic Nipple: To provide a feeding experience that closely mirrors breastfeeding, Pigeon's SofTouch™ Bio-based Bottles incorporate our innovative SofTouch™ nipple. Developed through 70 years of research on infant sucking, these nipples facilitate the natural three-step sucking motion: latching, peristaltic movement, and swallowing.

- Wide-neck design: This simplifies cleaning and filling, making your life easier.

- Compatibility: It works seamlessly with other Pigeon feeding accessories, providing flexibility.

- Soft and Comfortable: The SofTouch™ bottles are designed to mimic the feel of a mother's breast, promoting a smooth and comfortable feeding experience for your baby.

- Anti-Colic System: Equipped with Pigeon's advanced anti-colic system, these bottles help minimise air intake, reducing discomfort and fussiness.

- Safe and Gentle: Just like Pigeon's renowned SofTouch™bottles, the bio-based version maintains the same high standards of safety and quality. They are entirely in compliance with the British Standards European Norm (BS EN) 14350. This standard specifies safety requirements and test methods relating to the materials, construction, performance, packaging and product information for drinking equipment intended for children of 0 to 48 months.  

Benefits for the Planet:

Beyond nurturing your little one, we're committed to nurturing the Earth, which is why our new SofTouch Bio-based Bottles are designed with sustainability at their core.

- Eco-Friendly: By using Biomass-PP in our bottle production, we are able to reduce the amount of fossil-based virgin polypropylene (PP), thereby lowering our carbon footprint (CO2). This means less consumption of the earth’s natural resources. Biomass-PP* has a 70% lower PCF (product carbon footprint) than fossil-based PP over the life cycle* due to using a bio-based feedstock. 

- Certification: We are certified by the globally recognised certification system, the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC), which provides traceability of bio, circular and renewable materials along the supply chain.

Design Theme: Back to Nature

Our "Back to Nature" designs celebrate the launch of our new sustainable nursing bottles. Each design features a season of the year – Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter – and showcases original illustrations that are cute and slightly abstract. The unique style, with straight edges and irregular lines and curves, perfectly complements these eco-friendly baby bottles.

The SofTouch Nursing Bottle Experience:

Our new bio-based nursing bottles are designed to provide a seamless transition between breast and bottle. The soft, flexible teat encourages natural latching, while the ergonomic shape ensures a comfortable grip for both parent and baby. We understand that feeding is a precious bonding experience, and our bottles are crafted to enhance that connection. Our Softouch Teat in Size SS received some love from our reviewer Patrice, who said:

“These teats are so amazing. My baby latched on so quickly and without any fuss!! He usually gulps so much; however, because they are super slow teats, they make him slow down and not gulp so much!! Definitely investing in more!!!”

Looking Ahead: The Weaning Journey

As your baby grows, their feeding needs evolve. That's why Pigeon is also introducing a SofTouch Bio-based "step up" weaning bottle. This innovative bottle is designed to support your little one's transition to independent feeding.
