Parents appreciate the choice of organic clothes when shopping for their children, especially babies. We are told the skin (or the integumentary system) is our largest organ, so what we put on it should be as natural and pure as possible. Most would agree that when you have a choice, organic is better.
Most of us also think that cotton is a “natural” product; unfortunately this couldn’t be further from the truth. Conventionally grown cotton is not natural at all. It is treated each year with thousands of tons of the most toxic farm pesticides and defoliants on the market!
In contrast to conventional cotton growers, organic cotton growers work with nature to avoid using synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and defoliants. Some clothing companies are responding to the growing consumer demand for clothes made from organic fibers or are integrating small amounts of organic fibers into their products.
