Organic cotton is grown natural and sustainable, without herbicides, pesticides or any other harmful chemicals. These safe farming methods preserve the soil, conserve energy, and help to protect the health of the people in the community where the cotton is grown. It also keeps our cotton clothing free of chemicals. Below we outline the benefits of choosing certified organic cotton for your baby and the benefits.
When you purchase our Long Sleeve Planet Baby Baby Bodysuit, you do more than provide comfortable organic clothing for your little girl or boy. You improve the lives of the people who made the garment. We adhere to the highest global textile and labor standards to ensure that the people involved in production are treated well and paid fairly.
The long sleeve version of our Planet Baby Baby Bodysuit is made from high-quality organic cotton interlock fabric to provide a finish with unmatched quality you can feel. Its supreme softness and versatility make this organic bodysuit is an essential piece for any growing baby.
The bodysuit is constructed with both parent and baby in mind, using a lap-neck design and color matched nickel-free snaps to ensure easy, hassle free outfit and diaper changes.
Our use of water-based based dyes will ensure every piece of clothing we make retains its long lasting color vibrancy and durability, while remaining environmentally friendly, naturally hypoallergenic and gentle on your child's skin.
We only use certified organic cotton to construct our products. The benefits are apparent and far-reaching. Here is why we believe in organic production:
Planet Baby organic clothing is created using the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), the world’s leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibers. Only products that contain a minimum of 70% organic fibers can become GOTS certified. All accessories, dyes, and other inputs must meet certain environmental and toxicological criteria. Additionally, under GOTS our factories must maintain a minimum social criteria, including living wages, safe working conditions, working hours that are not excessive and more.
GOTS stipulates requirements throughout the supply chain for both ecology and labor conditions in textile and apparel manufacturing using organically produced raw materials. Organic production is based on a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic, persistent pesticides and fertilizers. In addition, organic production relies on adequate animal husbandry and excludes genetic modification.
