Organic + Eco

Becoming a mom has made me hyper aware of the abundance of toxicity in our environment. I want my child to be healthy and thriving, so I’m very careful about what we put IN and ON our bodies. This means choosing organic for my family whenever possible.

 

GOTS Certified

Starter Bling partners with a trusted supplier which operates sustainable manufacturing facilities in the USA. Their organic cotton materials are certified by The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), meaning they go through a stringent process that ensures no harmful chemicals including GMOs and pesticides can be used. Strict standards and inspections throughout the supply chain certify the integrity of the organic processes and materials from the farm to the consumer. 

 

Safe for Baby

Baby’s skin is very sensitive and porous in the developmental stage - it absorbs more of everything it comes in contact with.

As organic cotton does not contain harsh carcinogenic chemicals which are often used in non-organic clothing materials, baby's tender skin is protected.

Organic cotton also maintains a healthy body temperature - it’s a unique material that circulates air and absorbs moisture to prevent overheating, yet also retains thermal insulation in the cold. These properties make organic cotton suitable for all seasons and climates.

 

Durable

Organic cotton is more durable than conventional cotton and lasts five times longer, meaning it can withstand frequent washing due to spit ups, food spills, etc. without degrading. While organic costs a bit more upfront, it gives you maximum value through higher quality.

 

Sustainable & Responsible

Organic cotton farming methods are safer for farmers and for the environment - they use 62% less artificial energy, 90% less water and produce 94% less greenhouse gas emissions which lessen our environmental footprints.

Farmers have much better health due to the ban on toxic pesticides in organic cotton farming. Factory workers have better working conditions with fair working wages. There is no child labor or forced labor under GOTS standards.

By switching to GOTS certified organic clothing, we reduce our carbon footprint and support environmental, health, and social issues. As more consumers become aware of the benefits, perhaps more manufacturers will too, averting our climate crisis and fostering a better future for our planet and for our children.
