Question: I hear a lot about organic baby clothes. Can you tell me more?
Answer: Organic fibers like organic cotton, hemp, wool, alpaca, tencel and silk are not sprayed with harmful pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers.

Organic farming of fibers help save our water, air, and environment; overall, they are better for our bodies, our homes, our planet and for future generations.

Because organic methods of agriculture do not use these harmful chemicals, their resulting fibers are much easier on a babies sensitive skin. Organic fibers are especially good for babies with skin conditions such as eczema.
