About KENT

We put sustainability at the heart of everything we do. From using natural, plant-based materials to creating an ethical and transparent supply chain. We focus our efforts on areas that have the biggest impact - products, people and planet.

Founder Stacy Grace wanted to create a product that could be fully composted at the end of its life. Her plantable undergarments and basics made from certified organic Pima cotton can be returned to the earth to create nutrient-rich soil. KENT also offers a compost club for those without access to a compost bin.

Materials & certifications

Materials

Cotton

A soft, breathable, absorbent, and versatile natural fiber grown from the fluffy bolls of cotton plants.

Good to know: Conventional cotton is one of the world's dirtiest crops as cultivation heavily relies on pesticides, herbicides (glyphosate), and fertilizers, raising concerns about environmental pollution, soil health, and potential health risks for farmers and consumers. This is why some brands and consumers push for "100% organic cotton." Organic cotton skips the harsh chemicals, making it a more eco-friendly and healthier choice.

Natural Latex

A biodegradable, elastic material sourced from the sap of the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), valued for its durability and comfort. It is processed through methods that maintain its natural composition without synthetic additives or harsh chemicals.

Uses: Favored in products requiring flexibility and resilience, such as mattresses, furniture, pillows, and various apparel components.

Good to know: "100% Natural Latex" assures a product made solely from harvested rubber tree sap, without synthetic materials. Using generally safe chemicals like sulfur and zinc oxide, the vulcanization process doesn't synthetically alter the latex but stabilizes its inherent qualities.
