 Creating a pure, natural environment is
an important choice for a growing number of parents. Choosing
100% organic cotton is the first step toward natural living,
both for our sensitive babies, as well as our environment.
Pesticide and chemically-treated clothing, nappies and bedding
block the natural balance of the skin by trapping heat and
preventing it from “breathing” which can cause
rashes and eczema on sensitive skin. Organic cotton is pure
and natural and allows the skin to breathe. Many people consider conventional (non-organic)
cotton to be one of the world’s purest fibres, but in
actual fact it is one of the world’s most heavily sprayed
crops and is believed to cause up to 20,000 deaths and 3 million
poisonings every year in developing countries. (Figures from
the World Health Organisation- WHO)

Benefit of organics
Organic agriculture protects the health of people and the planet
by reducing the overall exposure to toxic chemicals that can
end up in the ground, air, water and food supply, and which
are associated with health consequences from asthma to cancer.
Because organic agriculture doesn’t use toxic chemicals
and pesticides, choosing to buy organic products is one way
we can help to care for ourselves and our children by leaving
behind a clean healthy planet. |
| The benefits of choosing organic cotton
are many:- |
- A healthier planet- no pesticides and hazardous chemicals
are used so better for the community and for our precious
planet.
- Better for farmers and farming communities- farmers and
their families are not exposed to the toxic chemicals used
in conventional farming which can cause death and poisonings,
thus saving lives.
- Better for the consumer- as much as 60% of what we put
on our skin is absorbed into our bodies thus by using organic
cotton we avoid all the unnecessary chemicals which can
cause rashes, asthma, allergies etc
