- Packaging
- Not stated
- Microplastics
- Silicone is not a petroleum plastic and is not a microplastic source the way plastic is, though as a polymer it can release trace particles or siloxanes, more so with heat and age. Whether silicone forms microplastics is still an open question.

About Mushie
Mushie was founded in 2018 by Mushie and Levi Feigenson, a Houston couple who started the company in a spare bedroom of their home shortly after their second child was born, and its products are still designed by their team in Houston and Sweden. The brand makes minimalist silicone feeding sets, bibs, cups, bath toys, and teethers in soft Scandinavian-inspired colors, along with organic cotton clothing, and it is also the US home of Denmark's FRIGG pacifiers. Mushie states its mission is everyday essentials parents love as much as their little ones do, built on safe, non-toxic materials like food-grade silicone and organic cotton. The brand states its products are tested to US consumer-safety standards, but it does not publish certificates, name its testing labs, or disclose details like its silicone cure system, so most material claims rest on the brand's word. Prices are mid-range for baby feeding gear, and that thinner disclosure is the honest tradeoff next to specialist plastic-free brands.
