It has become a well-known fact that the vast majority of food crops are sprayed time and again with insect killers – but possibly fewer people value that the clothes we wear have led a likewise heavily treated life. Cotton is in actual fact the most stretched crop in the world, and many other common clothing materials undergo a similar fate. It stands to reason then, that if you wish your babies to lead an organic lifestyle, you will want them to wear organic clothes. A baby’s skin is five times thinner than that of an adult, making it far easier for dangerous and harmful toxins to enter their bodies. Organic Children Clothing is free of poisonous residue, making them – and you – more comfortable with what they’re wearing.
The Safest Organic Baby Clothing You Can Buy
Up to now, we’ve established that when you’re purchasing clothing or bedding for your baby, you should look for labels marked 100% Organic. But there’s another issue at hand you should be aware of – clothing dyes.
Traditional, bright clothing dyes are full of harmful material, as well. However, organic manufacturers are coming up with ways to get around the issue. Cotton is now grown organically in different earth-tone colors – reddish brown, brown, yellow, and green – using absolutely no dye at all.
But great steps have been made in the production of Organic Childrens Clothing dyes, and many are safe now and produced without any harmful chemicals. It’s best to stick with lighter, pastel colors when purchasing your organic baby clothing, as these are the dyes that are more natural and less harmful to your little one.

It’s always good to know that progress is being made in these areas, and now cotton comes in more and more colours naturally.
