📌 Product Overview
Kapok fiber is a natural cellulose material harvested from the kapok tree (Ceiba pentandra), known for its silky texture and lightweight properties. It is traditionally used as stuffing for pillows, mattresses, and insulation due to its buoyancy and softness.
Our kapok fiber is sustainably sourced from Indonesian plantations and processed with minimal chemical intervention. It offers excellent thermal insulation, is hypoallergenic, and biodegradable—making it ideal for eco-conscious industries worldwide.

- Post-Harvest: Pods are sun-dried, then manually opened to extract fibers.
