WHAT IS ORGANIC COTTON? Organic cotton is grown using environmentally friendly techniques without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Organic cotton is grown without harmful chemicals, pesticides or genetically modified seeds. Our clothing brand features only organic cotton baby clothes made with only organic manure and naturally derived pesticides. COTTON AND YOUR BABY Wondering how cotton clothing affects your babies? Did you know that a child's skin is thinner and more porous than an adult's? A newborn's skin absorbs things more easily, making it more susceptible to physical and environmental factors. A baby's skin is less resistant to bacteria, especially if it is irritated by fabrics or various skin care products. All of these factors contribute to making children more at risk of pesticide-related health problems than adults. Lotus Bio-Mineral Organics states that "Millions of children in the United States receive up to 35 percent of their estimated lifetime intake of some carcinogenic pesticides by age five through food, contaminated drinking water, household use, and pesticide drift." PRINTING The ink we use is environmentally friendly reactive ink, not pigment ink. Pigment ink has lower color fastness than reactive ink, and is not as soft as reactive ink after printing on fabric. our ink is non-formaldehyde, AZO free, heavy metal in a safe, non-toxic standard, which is a level and benefit for baby products. WHAT IS A GOT CERTIFICATE? A Global Organic Textile Standard is the world's leading textile processing standard for organic fibers. It guarantees the biological standard of the fabrics from the collection of raw materials to the labels of the finished product and at every intermediate step. Since its inception in 2006, the Global Organic Fabric Standard has been supported by the demand for organic cotton materials. The organization has achieved universal recognition by encouraging manufacturers to supply organic fabrics with a universally accepted certification. The GOTS label is becoming more and more visible in natural fabric stores, brand retailers and large retailers. This recognition is a major milestone in consumer recognition and widespread desire for smarter, nature-derived products. Our GOTS certificate number is 140138
