Clothes made from conventional cotton are extremely unhealthy for human health and the health of the environment. It is grown via a chemically-intensive process and manufactured with synthetic dyes and toxic chemicals. These chemical residues can irritate people who have sensitive skin, chemical sensitivities, asthma, eczema and other health problems.
Organic cotton is grown without the use of toxic chemicals, is eco-friendly, and eliminates the risk of toxic exposure to farm workers. Organic cotton clothing is softer on the skin and won’t result in allergies.
The Australian Organic Directory lists companies who manufacture and supply soft, breathable organic cotton clothing; t-shirts, beach robes, kaftans, hoodies, pyjamas, sleepwear, nursing, breastfeeding and maternity clothing, active wear, yoga clothes, underwear, socks, and other organic cotton products that the whole family can use.
