Why buy organic cotton?

Having young children of our own we have seen the many benefits of buying and using organic cotton products.

These are just a few benefits, to both us and the farmer, to growing and using organic cotton...
  1. Organic cotton is grown using NO chemical pesticides, insecticides or dyes and is kinder to delicate skin.
  2. It is thicker, stronger and much softer than conventional cotton.
  3. The cotton is a biodegradable and renewable resource.
  4. Also, Organic cotton is grown using sustainable growing practices so that the impact on the environment is reduced, these include:
  • Untreated seeds and natural fertilizers are used
  • Crop rotation
  • Beneficial insects introduced to cut the population of bad ones so a natural balance is maintained
  • The soil retains nutrients and the water and air stay clean for future generations

With these practices in place the farmers and manufacturers of organic cotton have better working conditions, a decent wage and as no chemicals are used they are not damaging their health.
