Alexa Organics Untreated Maple Teething Rings
Raw, unfinished maple wood rings with no oil, wax, paint, or coating - a genuinely plastic-free (and silicone-free, rubber-free) teether for babies who chew everything.
The verdict: Plastic-free
Each ring is a single piece of raw maple hardwood with no finish at all - no oil, wax, varnish, paint, plastic, or silicone. Because the wood is left completely untreated, there is no coating that can chip or leach; the only material in a baby's mouth is bare maple. Fully plastic-free and free of silicone and rubber, so no latex-allergy concern either. The one trade-off is a natural material's, not a plastic one's: untreated wood must be kept dry, so it demands more care than a moldable teether.
What it's made of
| Part | Material | Food contact |
|---|---|---|
| teething ring raw maple hardwood, completely untreated - no oil, wax, varnish, paint, or coating | Wood | Yes primary |
A set of five smooth maple hardwood rings, about 2.5 in across, and CPSC-tested for heavy metals, small parts, and mechanical hazards. They're plain rings with no attached grip features - commonly used as-is or wrapped by parents in fabric ties. The hard wood is a firmer chew than soft rubber, which some babies find more soothing and others less.
Pros
- No finish or coating to chip or leach - and no latex, unlike rubber teethers
- Inexpensive; sold in multipacks
- CPSC-tested for heavy metals and small-parts safety
Cons
- Untreated wood must be kept dry - wipe clean only, never soak or dishwasher
- Bare wood can crack, roughen, or discolor over time and then needs replacing
- Hard surface; less soothing to gums than soft rubber for some babies
Notes
- Sold as a set of 5 raw maple rings (~2.5 in); other sizes available
- Care - wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately; do not submerge, boil, or dishwasher
- Because it is untreated, some parents re-oil with a food-safe oil, which would add a (natural) finish
