Why Wear Natural Clothing
They provide you with superior breathability, temperature regulation, moisture control, unique antibacterial qualities, and a documented ability to absorb the negative energy created by our stressful environment.
Certified organic cotton is grown without the use of harmful pesticides, herbicides, or artificial fertilizers. It also is free of formaldehyde finishes.
Cotton is popular for a reason - its soft texture and breathable nature make it very wearable, and it just feels good against your skin.
Additionally:
The arrangement of the cellulose gives cotton a good degree of strength, durability, and absorbency. Unlike synthetics, it doesn't pill, emit static electricity, prematurely age, or trap perspiration. People with allergies and chemical sensitivity especially benefit because conventional cotton may retain harmful toxic residues.
Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials that have low impact on the environment. Organic production system replenishes and maintains soil fertility, reduces the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers, and builds biologically diverse agriculture. Third-party certification organizations verify that organic producers use only methods and materials allowed in organic production.
Organic agriculture uses crop rotation instead of agrochemicals along with artificial fertilizers and biological pest control instead of pesticides. Though organic cotton has less environmental impact than conventional cotton, it costs more to produce.
Cotton sold as organic must be grown according to the international guidelines for organic crop production.
Soil fertility practices that meet organic certification standards typically include crop rotation, cover cropping, animal manure additions, and use of naturally occurring rock powders. Weed management is accomplished by a combination of cultivation, flame weeding, and other cultural practices.
