In this blog, we talk about organic cotton as the Best and Biggest Boon to your baby’s life.

But first,

What makes conventional cotton a big no-no?

Here’s a startling fact - conventional cotton is deemed as the most pesticide-intensive crop in the world. Let that sink in. The crop is treated with a plethora of synthetic chemicals, across various stages, which makes it particularly harmful to the planet and its people. Additionally, a large amount of water is utilised in its cultivation process, putting a strain on natural resources. To add to this, greenhouse gases are emitted into the air and water, posing risk to plants and animals. But what does this mean to you, as a parent? Well, it’s safe to say that non-organic cotton is not an option for tender, porous, baby skin. Imagine subjecting your little one to newborn cotton clothes that could potentially cause skin ailments like eczema and rash, simply because you weren’t aware and/or prepared.

Keep those fears at bay because,

Organic cotton equals yes, all the way!

Conventional cotton may be popular, but organic cotton is the more preferable choice for baby apparel. Owing to the fact that this textile is completely natural, and grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides or fertilisers, it is the healthiest option for sensitive skin. What’s more, it is certified by an independent third party, GOTS, which meets rigorous environmental and social standards. Now, parents don’t have to worry about verifying or vetting claims. It’s child’s play.

Let’s deep dive into the benefits of organic cotton. We’ve covered these before, but here’s a gentle reminder, just in case you haven’t made the switch to newborn organic clothes.

1.   It spells comfort. Soft, lightweight, breathable, stretchy…

2.   It’s extremely absorbent, and helps to regulate the baby’s body temperature.

3.   It’s a natural fibre, which means, hyper allogenic.

4.   It’s free of toxins, therefore ideal for hyper sensitive skin.

5.   It’s durable, iron friendly, and can withstand multiple machine washes throughout the day.

6.   It’s easily available, as well as affordable, breaking common stereotypes associated with ‘organic’.

7.   It’s good for the environment and the entire ecological system.

8.   It’s 100% GOTS certified!

Did you know, organic cotton not only promotes sustainable farming practices, but it also helps to preserve soil health and biodiversity?

Treat your baby’s soft, supple skin to the most soothing material in the world.
