Kids Wear

🍃Do you know that conventional cotton is considered the dirtiest crop in the world? It is responsible for 16% of insecticides and 7% of pesticides on the planet! 🙈

While there are those who keep intoxicating us and the polluting world, it is up to us to not feed this unsustainable system. 

Conventional Kids Wear

❌ Conventional Cotton: Avoid conventional cotton of any kind. Any cotton brand without the Organic Certification seal is considered conventional = toxic.

Greenwashing Kids Wear

❌ Greenwashing Cotton: Even if they claim “organic” or “natural”  cotton, if they don’t display the GOTS Certified seal, they may have something to hide. These terms are not regulated. Brands such as H&M and Gap claim the cotton in their baby clothing to be organic without proving it. Carter’s seems to mention the certification, but I would like to see it.

✅ Safer Cotton:  GOTS Certified Organic Cotton. 

GOTS is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibers, including ecological and social criteria.

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) was created to set criteria for how fibers and textiles must be ginned, knitted, woven, dyed, manufactured, and labeled. 

🍃By choosing only GOTS Certified Organic, we are sending a clear message to the toxic and greenwashing cotton companies: their marketing strategies are not working with us. By not supporting their brands, we are reshaping the market for better and more responsible products. 🌎

I am determined to support only companies that care about us and the planet. Here you can find my favorite GOTS Certified Organic cotton brands.
