Organic  Sleepwear 

DO YOU KNOW: It takes 713 gallons of water to make a non-organic t-shirt.

713 gallons of water is enough for a person to drink for 900 days.

Conventional Sleepwear

❌ Synthetic clothes: they are made of polyester, nylon, acrylic, spandex, rayon, or polyamide. These clothing release 9MILLION plastic microfibers into the ocean every time we wash them. They make up 35% of the primary microplastics found in the oceans!

❌ Conventional Cotton: Avoid conventional cotton of any kind. Any cotton brand without the Organic Certification seal is considered conventional = toxic. Here is why: Cotton is considered the world’s dirtiest crop. 

🌎 Conventional cotton is considered the dirtiest crop in the world with its 16% insecticide and 7% pesticide use on the planet!  You can reduce this environmental and social impact by choosing certified organic cotton. 

Greenwashing Sleepwear

Avoid Greenwashing Sleepwear brands that pretend to be eco-friendly and sustainable when they are not. They may use:

❌ 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.

Bamboo viscose AKA Bamboo rayon: It is a bio-based semi-synthetic material created from cellulose fibers from bamboo. Even though bamboo is grown without pesticides, it is made into viscose which requires toxic chemicals (chemicals carbon disulfide, solvents such as sodium hydroxide — a.k.a caustic soda) and a polluting process. Plus it is mostly made in China! Therefore bamboo viscose is greenwashing.

❌ Avoid Modal: viscose that has been made using a closed-loop production process. This more sustainable process also tends to lead to slightly stronger, more durable fabrics.

❌ Avoid Lyocell: its processing also omits certain harmful chemicals altogether.

❌ Avoid Lenzing: Lenzing is a fiber production company based in Austria. 

❌ Avoid Tencel: Tencel is Lenzing’s trademarked version of lyocell or modal ya

 

GOTS Certified Organic 

Who else is a fan of organic clothing like I am!?
✅ The best cotton you can get is GOTS Certified Organic. The water consumption of organic cotton is 91% lower than conventional cotton.

☁️Certified GOTS organic cotton is made without toxic chemicals and pesticides.

It protects the soil and 💦water (91% less water used) and energy⚡️ (62% less energy), while 👩‍🌾protecting farmers who work the crop!

🍃It is incredibly soft and durable, compared to conventional cotton. Organic cotton even prevents skin rash and protects delicate skin, especially with babies!
🍃Once you try organic cotton you won’t go back! I just placed another order!!😉 

How to find organic material?

🍃When the item displays the  “GOTS” – Global Organic Textile Standard – logo on the merchandise. 

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibers, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain. 

🍃The standard covers the processing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, trading, and distribution of all textiles made from at least 70% certified organic natural fibers. 

The standard aims to ensure the organic status of textiles, from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing up to labeling.

💚 When I decided to wear more Organic Cotton, I started to look for Certified Organic sleepwear and look at what I found!

All are made with GOTS Certified Cotton. Brands carry the certification that doesn’t allow pesticides or insecticides in their cotton, their dyes cannot contain toxic material and the production has to follow strict environmental rules. Making these items completely sustainable.  💗
