Cotton is one of the most widely grown and chemically-intensive crops in the world.  Conventional cotton growth, cultivation and production inflicts a heavy environmental toll.  Eleven to 25% of the planets pesticides are used on only 2.4% of the worlds arable land for cotton cultivation.

The process of producing a finished garment also requires other chemicals such as bleach and formaldehyde.    The simple act of growing and harvesting the one kilo of conventional cotton fiber needed to make a simple T-shirt takes an enormous toll on the earth's air, water, and soil.  It also has a significant impact on the health of people in cotton growing areas.  Some of these chemicals are among the most toxic and carcinogenic as classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials that have a low impact on the environment. It is grown and processed without the use of harmful chemicals.  Organic production systems replenish and maintain soil fertility.  Organic production eliminates the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers and helps build biologically diverse agriculture.   

Organic cotton production is safer for farmers, factory workers, and the environment.  Organic cotton is softer and more durable the conventional cotton that is weakened by the chemical processes it is subjected to.  Organic cotton is pure, natural, breathable, and offers a softness and pureness that only organics can for your precious baby’s skin.
