Since we started our journey at the beginning of 2023 we have made one thing very clear that our brand and products is to be produced not only in Europe but from 100% certified organic cotton and recycled materials to ensure that our supply chain is as sustainable as we can possibly make it.
So, we thought we would share 6 benefits of certified organic cotton, so you have more of an understanding about the materials we use in our products:
BENEFITS OF ORGANIC COTTON
Due to its soft texture and free from chemicals there is less chance of developing skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and skin allergies. It is gentle on your skin giving a quality feel that's more breathable than regular cotton.
1. FREE OF HARSH CHEMICALS
Organic cotton is made using natural chemicals so is free from nasty fertilisers and pesticides. The skin is the bodies largest organ so a large portion of substances are absorbed through the skin. Therefore, by dressing yourself in organic cotton clothes, all you are absorbing is organic goodness.
2. NON-ALLERGENIC
By using natural chemicals during the growing process and farming, the fabric is non-allergenic. The benefit of this is that it reduces the risk of breakouts of rashes and eczema. Another added benefit is that the fabric doesn’t release small particles into the air so is perfect for those who are asthmatic.
3. MORE ABSORBENT
Being an absorbent material, it keeps the skin cool by absorbing moisture and sweat. It’s perfect to keep the body temperature more regulated.
4. SOFTER
With no chemical to weaken the fibres, organic cotton is widely known for being super soft and comfortable. Also because of this, organic cotton clothes hold their shape longer and are more durable.
5. EASY TO WASH AND QUICK TO DRY
Organic cotton is a durable material and is easy to wash. It can be washed in hot water without disforming or discolouring so you can be confident that those food-stained, mud-stained and who-knows-what-else-stained clothes are sterile. And it is quick to dry which is another huge benefit.
6. KIND TO THE ENVIRONMENT
Certified Organic Cotton has a notably lower carbon footprint, using less fuel, water and energy to produce and promotes a sustainable supply chain. 100% organic cotton is completely biodegradable.
With reduced exposure to allergens and other dermatological issues you can worry less, be more at ease knowing your baby is comfortable and worry less about skin issues and irritations.
