Why We Choose Organic

Why We Choose Organic

When you’re choosing products for your baby, materials matter for comfort, health and the future of our planet. At the heart of everything we do is a deep commitment to quality and sustainability. We prioritise working with environmentally and ethically responsible manufacturing partners and are proud to use GOTS-certified organic cotton and dyes in all our products. Scroll below to learn more.

1. Gentle on sensitive skin

When it comes to your baby’s delicate skin, we know that only the best will do. Organic cotton is naturally softer and more breathable than conventional cotton, making it an ideal choice for baby clothing and accessories. Since organic cotton is grown without the use of toxic pesticides and synthetic fertilisers, it is less likely to cause skin irritations or allergic reactions too.

2. Breathable and temperature regulating

The natural fibres in organic cotton allow air to circulate more freely, making it more breathable compared to conventional cotton. Organic cotton retains its natural softness and ability to wick moisture away from the skin, as opposed to conventionally grown cotton, which is often treated with chemicals that affect the fabric’s structure and breathability. This helps regulate body temperature, keeping your little one cool in warmer weather, reducing the risk of irritation or overheating.

3. Long lasting and more durable

The fibres in organic cotton are left intact, rather than being weakened by the harsh chemicals used in conventional cotton production. This results in a stronger, more resilient fabric that can withstand the wear and tear of daily use. This durability means organic cotton products last longer and can be passed down and reused multiple times, which is more sustainable than buying new.

4. Better for the environment

Organic farming protects our environment by prioritising sustainable practices that reduce harm to ecosystems and here’s how:

Helps soil health by enhancing biodiversity and using natural fertilisers like compost. Organic farming avoids synthetic chemicals, allowing the soil to retain its nutrients, structure and ability to support crops for the long term.

Conserves water by using rain-fed irrigation systems and improving soil’s water retention capacity. Organic cotton farming requires significantly less water than conventional methods, largely because it enhances soil structure, which holds moisture more effectively. This reduces the strain on local water sources, especially in areas prone to drought.

Protects habitats by avoiding harmful pesticides and herbicides, which can poison wildlife and degrade ecosystems. By maintaining natural pest control methods and biodiversity, organic farms create healthier environments for insects, birds, and animals to thrive.

Reduces pollution by eliminating the use of synthetic chemicals that can seep into water supplies and air, affecting both human health and the environment. Organic dyes, made from natural ingredients, avoid the toxic runoff that is typical of conventional fabric dyes, helping to keep waterways and ecosystems cleaner.

5. Community at heart

Organic cotton and dyes not only safeguard the environment but also have significant social and ethical benefits for farming communities. By avoiding harmful pesticides, organic farming eliminates the risk of chemical runoff into local water sources, which in conventional farming can lead to increased health risks from water contamination. Certifications like GOTS ensure fair wages and safe working conditions, promoting ethical labour practices often lacking in conventional farming. These certifications also invest in education, helping communities adopt sustainable practices for long-term development. Choosing organic means supporting healthier, safer communities.
