In today’s fast-paced world, health has become a top priority for many. Yet, foot health is often overlooked. Whether you’re moving around at home or relaxing by the pool, a pair of high-quality slippers can offer solid support with every step you take.
At KENROLL, we are committed to designing slippers that prioritize safety, comfort, and health. Our Ke-Rollist Safety System, Ke-Fitist Comfort System, and Ke-Health Wellness System all work in tandem to provide you with a safer, healthier experience. In this article, we’ll introduce our Ke-Health Wellness System.
When choosing slippers, many consumers overlook the materials and potential health risks. To help protect your well-being, we urge you to be mindful of the following concerns and avoid slippers that contain plasticizers, formaldehyde, or heavy metals.
The Dangers of Plasticizers
Plasticizers are commonly used to improve the flexibility and stretch of plastics. However, certain types of plasticizers, such as phthalates (DOP, DEHP, etc.), are widely recognized for their harmful effects. These chemicals can be absorbed through the skin and disrupt the endocrine system, potentially affecting reproductive health, immunity, and development. Long-term exposure to plasticizers has also been linked to an increased risk of chronic diseases like obesity and asthma.
The Risks of Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a harmful substance frequently found in household materials and construction products, and it may be present in some slipper manufacturing processes. Its volatile nature allows it to quickly release into the air, leading to respiratory irritation, allergic reactions, and an increased risk of certain cancers with prolonged exposure. This risk is particularly high for children and pregnant women, whose growth and development can be negatively impacted by formaldehyde.
The Harmful Effects of Heavy Metals
Heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic, are toxic to the human body. Long-term exposure can lead to poisoning or chronic illnesses. These metals can be absorbed through the skin, especially in hot or humid conditions, increasing the likelihood of contamination. Children and pregnant women are particularly vulnerable, making it crucial to select slippers carefully.
The Ke-Health Wellness System: Our Promise to Your Safety
KENROLL’s Ke-Health Wellness System focuses on three key principles: “Zero Plasticizers, Zero Formaldehyde, and No Heavy Metals,” ensuring that every pair of slippers meets the highest standards of safety and quality.
Zero Plasticizers
KENROLL slippers are made from high-quality, eco-friendly materials that have been tested by SGS and meet the European standard EN 14372:2004. This ensures that each pair provides both comfort and durability while maintaining the highest level of safety. Every KENROLL slipper is designed to protect your health with every step.
About EN 14372:2004:
This European standard applies to children’s feeding utensils, including knives, forks, and plates, for children aged 6 months to 3 years. It sets strict safety requirements for materials, ensuring that the total contact amount of phthalates does not exceed 0.1% by weight.
Zero Formaldehyde
Each pair of KENROLL slippers undergoes stringent quality checks to meet national and international safety standards. Our slippers are tested by SMQ (Shenzhen Academy of Metrology & Quality Inspection) to ensure they are free from free or partially hydrolyzable formaldehyde (GB/T2912.1-2009) and harmful aromatic amines (GB/T17592-2011).
No Heavy Metals
KENROLL rigorously adheres to national and international safety regulations, ensuring that all raw materials are thoroughly screened and free from heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. We only source materials from certified suppliers to ensure they meet the highest standards. Additionally, we conduct regular raw material testing to maintain safety levels.
Our advanced production techniques and strict environmental controls help prevent heavy metal contamination, ensuring that every pair of slippers is safe for you and your family. We provide SGS certification to confirm that our products meet the EU Directive 2009/48/EC and its amendments, assuring that KENROLL slippers are free of heavy metals.

How to Choose Safe Slippers
- Check the Label: Always inspect the product label before purchasing. Look for tags that state “No Plasticizers” and “No Formaldehyde.”
- Opt for Trusted Brands: Reputable brands are more likely to prioritize product safety and environmental friendliness. Consider selecting well-known brands to ensure the quality of your slippers.
- Know the Materials: Choose slippers made from natural materials such as cotton, hemp, or natural rubber, which are safer and less likely to release harmful substances compared to synthetic alternatives.
