Knowledge is power. I learned firsthand that cotton clothing is the best for the health of my body. Your skin is your largest organ and it is important to wear fabricJust because an article of clothing is organic cotton, does not mean it is toxic free. There are many toxic dyes used and the processing of clothing typically incorporates numerous chemicals.
There are numerous chemicals used in our clothing and here began my search through trial and error for the least toxic clothing I could find. Even some organic clothing companies do not work for me. What works best is 100% organic cotton with less impact dyes.
My clothing motto is now similar to the European way - owning fewer pieces of higher quality clothing.
Why Organic and Sustainable Fabrics are important
