Cotton
enjoys an exclusive reputation in the world of garment manufacturing since the
historical times. In fact, a range of organic cotton clothing
merchandises has made significant inroad into the consumer market, in the
recent times. These products are made from especial variety of the fiber,
called certified organic cotton.
The
list of advantages in using cotton products is just countless. However, the
most vital aspects in this context include
·
The products are lightweight and
·
Comfortable (especially, in summers)
In
spite of these undeniable advantages, ordinary variety of cotton comes with a
massive health hazard.
Ordinary cotton and human health
o Ordinary variety of cotton – that is
normally seen everywhere – is a major cash crop. As such, its cultivation
involves rampant application of man-made fertilizers and insecticides. In fact,
about 30% of the world’s net annual chemical production is consumed up by these
plantations alone.
o The synthetic chemicals are
extremely toxic. These artificially synthesized compounds inadvertently blend
with the atmosphere, thus, polluting nature.
o Artificial dyes and coloring
pigments that are applied to the fiber in the factories, further add to its
risk factor.
In
fact, cotton has a natural tendency to retain most of these toxins over a
substantial period of time. As a result, these man-made poisons return back to
the human society, forming a recursive chain. Children naturally have sensitive
immune systems. Therefore, these lethal substances extract most severe toll on
kids and toddlers.
Organic cotton and its undeniable
advantage
o Organic variety of the fiber is
especially cultivated, without using any artificial chemicals or substances. As
a result, these are extremely safe on health aspect.
o Organic fertilizers and pesticides
that are only extracted from different natural sources are used in this farming
process.
o Moreover, no synthetic dyes are ever
applied to this exclusive variety of fiber. Thus, the variety of merchandises manufactured
from this is available only in all natural shades of cotton.
Consciousness for health is high among the
masses these days. As such, commercial viability of organically grown cotton,
especially for the kids, is significantly high. Some of the common items in
this range include booties, soft toys, cardigans, bibs, towels, vests and
blankets, etc. Procuring these goods has become even easier. There are numerous
stores that exclusively deal with this category of products. Moreover, there
are several virtual outlets that cater to the online customers.
