Organic Baby Clothes
What are organic baby clothes? Organic baby clothing is clothing produced with eco-friendly production methods and organic textiles. By using organic textiles that are grown without chemical fertilisers, pesticides or herbicides, then manufactured without chemical treatments such as bleaches and dyes, the baby clothing that is produced is toxin free. Toxin-free baby clothing is better for your baby, whose skin is thinner and more porous than adults’ and more vulnerable to harmful substances. Babies produce less melanin that protects the skin from external irritants, and are also less resistant to bacteria. So it is important to prevent ingestion of harmful toxins through the skin that are present in conventionally produced baby clothing. By reducing the chemicals used in the production of textiles, there is also less pollution of the air and water. Examples of organic textiles include organic cotton, bamboo fibre, and yak down.
By growing organic textiles with eco-friendly methods, the environment is also conserved. From supporting local industry, to using resources such as water more efficiently, and not introducing toxic pesticides into the environment, organic methods are better for the planet.
Why buy organic baby clothes?
Why buy organic baby clothes? Organic baby clothing has many benefits for the baby, for the parent and for the environment that conventionally produced clothing does not. As mentioned above, it is beneficial for the baby because organic clothing is toxin-free and made without additives, genetic modification, growth hormones, or irradiation.
It is also advantageous for the parents as the clothing is durable, meaning that money is saved on replacing clothing, as well as being machine-washable. And of course, organic baby clothing is eco-friendly. Not only toxin-free, organic clothing is judged on its ecological footprint, including factors such as its biodegradability, amount of pollution produced in its cultivation and the amount of resources consumed in its production.
