Buying Organic Clothing

July 25, 2010 By

Organic clothing has become extra popular these days. However, some people still think that organic clothing is not fashionable at all. That misconception is just too obsolete since there have been lots of developments that took place in organic clothing.

Organic clothing refers to those pieces of clothes that are made of non-synthetic and all-natural materials. Raw materials of organic clothing products are made from plants that were not genetically modified or radiated. For a product to be considered and labeled organic, it still needs to meet the standards of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

A lot of people are recently trying organic products in their aim of helping the environment. People are trying to cope with the organic clothing trend. In a study conducted in 2003, it showed that the sales of organic clothing for women have increased for at least 30 percent. In essence, it means more women are buying these products in the recent years. Aside from organic clothes for women, organic products for babies have also increased for the past years.

Organic Baby Clothes – Safety Matters

October 21, 2009 By

Having children makes us automatically more aware of our environments and especially the environment our children live in. Child-proofing the home, safety car seats and child safe toys are just some of the special steps we take to safe-guard our kids. Avoiding toxic chemicals is another major consideration when it comes to the eco conscious parent.

Cotton production uses over 25% of the world’s pesticides and herbicides. It is said that the cotton growth required for a single t-shirt uses up a third of a pound of chemicals. Worse yet, almost 80% of the left overs during cotton processing (called “gin trash”) is fed to livestock – and that means these powerful poisons enter our food chain thanks to cotton production.

Wearing non-organic cotton places these toxins right on the skin – the largest organ of the body. So it is no wonder that parents today are now choosing organic baby clothes. You can buy nearly any baby product in organic form, including; organic cloth diapers, baby sweaters, organic baby hats, and even organic mattresses.

When searching online for organic baby clothing, make sure the product is labeled 100% organic. Avoid any kind of blend, especially those with petroleum based fabrics such as rayon, polyester and nylon.
