Why Organic
At C+C we are dedicated to the health of our children and the planet we all share.
That is why we use only GOTS certified organic cotton, ensuring that our products meet high standards for sustainability and ethical labor practices.
Best for Baby
Organic cotton is the safest choice for your baby’s soft and sensitive skin. Organic cotton is grown naturally, free from toxic pesticides and harmful chemicals. The low impact dyes used on GOTS products will not find their way into your baby’s skin like many of the components of traditional garment dying. So you can rest assured you are getting the most pure product for your baby.
Better for the Environment
Buying organic cotton is a better choice for the environment and for the farmers who grow and harvest the crops. Organic cotton is grown naturally, free from toxic pesticides and harmful chemicals. These safer farming methods help protect the health of the farmers and people in the community where the crop is grown as well as to preserve the soil for long term fertility.
Additionally, the low impact dyes used on GOTS products do not poison the workers and waterways where the garment is produced, and will not find their way into your baby’s skin like many of the components of traditional garment dying.
Why Certify?
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the world’s leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibers.
It demands keeping to strict environmental criteria along the textile supply chain, from the farming methods used to grow the crop to the dyes and zippers used on the final product. Additionally, when a factory is GOTS certified, they must comply with strict social criteria, including safe working conditions and working hours that are not excessive.
The GOTS logo on a product ensures that it is of the highest quality, and was produced using ethical and sustainable methods.
