What are PINACARE diapers made from?

Pineapple leaf fibre. Leaves left over after the pineapple harvest are collected from local farms and processed into a soft, absorbent natural fibre without harmful chemicals, then crafted into our biodegradable diapers and wipes.

Are PINACARE products safe for newborn skin?

Yes. Our range is dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic and free from harsh chemicals, so it is gentle enough for delicate newborn skin and helps reduce the risk of nappy rash.

What happens to a PINACARE diaper after use?

It is compostable. Because the materials are plant-based, a used diaper breaks down naturally and returns to the soil, completing the circular loop instead of sitting in a landfill.

Where do you deliver and what does delivery cost?

Delivery is FREE within Nairobi. Other regions in Kenya and East Africa are charged a flat rate based on location.

Can I have my order delivered every month?

Yes. Choose "Subscribe & Save" at checkout for automatic monthly deliveries at a 15% discount. You can pause or cancel anytime.

How does PINACARE support farmers and the circular economy?

We buy pineapple leaves that would otherwise go to waste, pay fair wages and create green jobs for rural farming communities, then turn that agricultural waste into affordable, biodegradable baby care.

How can my clinic, pharmacy or business partner with PINACARE?

We work with pediatricians, hospitals, maternal clinics and retailers across East Africa. Visit our Healthcare Partnerships page or contact our team to start a conversation.

To baby comfort

Who We Are

Driven by purpose, powered by nature

PINACARE was born from a simple belief: the products that touch your baby's skin should never harm the planet. Across Kenya, pineapple farmers harvest their crop and leave behind mountains of leaves. Instead of letting that waste burn or rot, we collect it.

Those leaves become a soft, absorbent natural fibre — crafted into diapers and wipes that are hypoallergenic, chemical-free and fully compostable. Every purchase pays farmers fairly, creates green jobs and keeps thousands of nappies out of landfill.

“A circular economy that nurtures babies and protects the planet — one nappy at a time.”

— The PINACARE Team
