Natural Fibers
Concrete experience of concerned people confirms over and over again a negative influence even of the smallest chemical leftovers in especially people with a disease, allergies or hypersensitivity especially our new born sensitive baby's.
Why organic cotton for new baby's?
We put cotton next to our skin because it breathes, absorbs and comforts. Cotton also has a reputation for being pure, the best fabric for a baby's nappy and first t-shirt. However, most cotton goods sold today don't deserve that natural reputation. During cotton production and processing, lots of unnatural and highly hazardous chemicals are used.

Organic cotton and the environment
Eating food and wearing clothes grown without unnecessary chemicals is both good for you and the environment.
Organic farmers work with nature. Trees, hedges, and wide un-farmed field edges are important on organic farms. These provide habitats for natural predators such as beetles, spiders and birds which control pests.
Farmland birds have declined by up to 95% since the introduction of pesticides into farming. Organic farming offers a real alternative and buying organic food supports a living countryside.
