Baby Wear
🍃Do you know that conventional cotton is considered the dirtiest crop in the world? It is responsible for 16% of insecticides and 7% of pesticides on the planet! 🙈
While there are those who keep intoxicating us and the polluting world, it is up to us to not feed this unsustainable system. How?
Here is what you can do:
❌ Conventional Cotton: Avoid conventional cotton of any kind. Any cotton brand without the Organic Certification seal is considered conventional = toxic.
❌ Greenwashing Cotton: Even if they claim “organic” or “natural” cotton, if they don't display the GOTS certified seal, they may have something to hide. These terms are not regulated. Brands as H&M and Gap claim their cotton in their baby clothing to be organic without proving it. Carter's seems to mention the certification, but I would like to see it.
✅ Safer Cotton: GOTS Certified Organic Cotton.
GOTS is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibers, including ecological and social criteria.
Get familiar with the logo, spot it on 👗clothing, bed sheets, kitchen towels, 🧖♀️bath towels, linen, 🧦socks, robes, pajamas,
👩🍼baby clothes, and more.
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) was created to set criteria for how fibers and textiles must be ginned, knitted, woven, dyed, manufactured, and labeled.
🍃By choosing only GOTS certified organic, we are sending a clear message to the toxic and greenwashing cotton companies: their marketing strategies are not working with us. By not supporting their brands, we are reshaping the market for better and more responsible products. 🌎
I am determined to support only companies that care about us and the planet.
here you can find my favorite GOTS Certified Organic cotton brands.
🍃Sustainable fashion is possible! The only way to know that cotton is truly organic, they need to carry the GOTS (global organic textile standards) seal! GOTS is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for fibers that certifies the product does not have toxic heavy metal, pesticides, GMO, chlorine bleaching, toxic dyes, PVC, (all things that conventional cotton has 🙈🙊).
🍃It certifies that the production has respected ecologic rules on waste, water use, disposal, and protection of the environment, that it has followed rules that respect the workers, and finally protection for the consumer's health.💚Pact Organic is my favorite Certified Organic brand! It is GOTS certified organic and fair trade!
🌟Their cotton is superior, more resistant, and incredibly soft, compared to conventional cotton! They offer a stylish collection of leggings and tops! 👒 Their cotton will last you much longer than a cheaper conventional dress! 🌎10.5 million tons of textile waste ends up in the landfill every year just in the USA!
🌟Let's reduce waste, let's buy better quality clothes!
Follow sustainable fashion bloggers, don't follow the fashion, but make your own! Reuse, sell your clothing, recycle (some stores will give you a coupon in exchange for one bag of your old garments), and donate! 💚

❌ Burt's Bee: Greenwashing
Clorox, a company that makes bleach and countless other chemicals, bought Burt’s Bees in 2007 for an astounding $925M. Burt was even bought out of any ownership in his company in 1999 in exchange for a house valued at only $130,000 and some other minor compensation!
Plus Burt's Bees has been independently tested and they found PFAS in their products.
"Burt’s Bees Products Company and the Clorox Company have been accused of manufacturing cosmetic products containing “forever chemicals”. This accusation follows similar complaints about a number of long-lasting and waterproof makeup products from multiple manufacturers including Loreal, and Maybelline. Cover Girl and others."
In addition to previous lawsuits filed against national cosmetics companies, Burt’s Bees and Clorox may be facing a new round of lawsuits over its failure to disclose that some of its makeup or cosmetic products contain polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known to be toxic to humans. PFAS have also become known as “forever chemicals” as they do not break down easily, either in the environment or in the body and stick around “forever”
A class-action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The lawsuit claims the products have been independently tested and found to contain PFAS which are not listed on product labeling and that the company used false or deceptive advertising.
