Everything you need to know about GOTS-certified organic cotton for your baby
When it comes to your baby’s comfort and well-being, the fabric they sleep and snuggle in plays a crucial role. At Bloomsbury Mill, we prioritise using GOTS-certified organic cotton in our baby essentials, including muslin swaddles, baby blankets, fitted sheets, and sleep bags. But what makes this material so special? Let’s delve into the reasons why GOTS-certified organic cotton is the ideal choice for your little one.
What Is GOTS-certified organic cotton?
GOTS stands for the Global Organic Textile Standard, the world’s leading certification for organic textiles. This certification ensures that the cotton is grown without harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilisers and processed without toxic chemicals. Moreover, it guarantees ethical labour practices throughout the supply chain, providing peace of mind that your baby’s products are both safe and responsibly made.
Why choose GOTS-certified organic cotton for your baby?
Gentle on sensitive skin
Babies have delicate skin that’s more susceptible to irritation. GOTS-certified organic cotton is free from harsh chemicals and synthetic additives, making it hypoallergenic and ideal for preventing rashes and allergies.
Breathable and comfortable
Organic cotton fabrics are exceptionally breathable and efficient in venting excess heat and moisture away from the body. This means that even in hot weather little ones are able to naturally regulate their temperature to keep them from overheating. Due to the structure and breathability of bamboo, air is able to flow freely through the fabric so their body temperature can regulate against the outside temperature keeping them warm when it’s cold too. That’s why we use it in our best-selling baby blankets and muslins.
Durable and long-lasting
Despite its softness, organic cotton is remarkably durable. Baby essentials like our muslin swaddles and cellular blankts can withstand frequent washing, maintaining their quality and softness over time.
Environmentally friendly
Organic cotton farming uses significantly less water and energy compared to conventional methods. By choosing GOTS-certified products, you’re contributing to a healthier planet for your child’s future.
Ethically produced
GOTS certification also covers social criteria, ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions for farmers and workers involved in the production process.
