Why is organic cotton the best for baby's skin? Did you know it's considered one of the best fabrics in the world? Why do we only use GOTS certified organic cotton?
From the very beginning, at Petite Marmotte we have committed to materials that respect health, the environment, and human values. Do you want to know why?
I'm sure as soon as you got pregnant, you started researching the best baby stroller, the most recommended pacifier... but when it came to clothes, you probably thought more about aesthetics than the materials of the fabrics.
And it is that, often, we don't realize the importance of good quality garments and fabrics, as they are continuously in contact with the baby. We must not forget that their skin is much more delicate than ours! That's why today I want you to get to know the fabric that predominates in all our garments, organic cotton, so that you understand how important it is to dress babies in natural materials.
Advantages of organic cotton over conventional cotton
- Absence of toxic substances: the main and most important reason. This cotton is free of pesticides, fertilizers, and heavy metals. A baby's skin is 5 times thinner than an adult's and more prone to irritations or allergies derived from the use of chemical components.
- Maximum softness and comfort: the feel of organic cotton knit is amazing; I always say I wish you could touch it because I assure you, you would fall in love. The crib, the nursing pillow, the bodysuits... are in direct contact with your baby, and you surely want them to feel comfortable.
- Very breathable: the organic fabric guarantees proper skin breathability, maintaining both warmth and coolness, which is why our pyjamas or newborn sets can be used all year round.
- Resistant to washing: babies get dirty a lot, and clothes need frequent washing. Organic cotton releases dirt very well and remains intact wash after wash. These are the kinds of garments that siblings, cousins, etc., can inherit.
In short, it is an excellent fabric for all skin types, especially for babies with atopic skin: organic cotton will be their great ally!
Finally, we must bear in mind that organic fabrics protect our planet and water quality. Furthermore, organic cotton fabrics with GOTS Certification guarantee that the people who cultivated it have adequate working conditions. In short, when we buy organic cotton garments, we are not only taking care of our baby's health but also taking care of the planet and improving it for the future.
