For your baby. Babies have delicate skin and the conventional cotton industry is one of the most chemically intensive in the world. It is the total amount of toxin exposure over time that may harm your baby's health, so you want to minimize the exposure. Choose organic cotton especially for the clothing that is right next to your baby's skin. Every choice you make is a good choice. No harmful chemicals are used in organic cotton production.

For those who work in production and their children. It goes without saying that the health and well being of the people who work with harsh chemicals daily is affected and, sadly, the cotton workers are often unhealthy. In areas where conventional cotton cultivation is replaced by organic, there is a clear health status improvement. It is our responsibility towards humanity to not engage factories that don't care about the health of their workers. We don't use cotton that has a history of causing illness and stress to families in other parts of the world. 

For our planet. Apart from causing bad health in humans, the chemicals used in conventional cotton production harm the environment. The water and soil are polluted and the balance of the ecosystem is disturbed. Pests develop resistance to the chemicals used and new, even stronger ones are developed. Our kids will inherit this planet, let's make it a beautiful place.

Remember that the term "organic" is often just words.Certification bodies like GOTS controls the factories and farms that are certified. This guarantees that the production is truly organic. OEKO TEX does not equal organic.
