Our organic cotton follows a 2-step verification process that combines physical laboratory testing with a controlled chain of custody. The cotton used in OEKO-TEX® ORGANIC COTTON comes from farms where cotton is grown and verified in accordance with an organic standard approved in the IFOAM Family of Standards. This organic status is further verified through physical laboratory testing, including tests for genetically modified (GMO) cotton, which is widely used in conventional agriculture, as well as for pesticides and harmful substances. The official OEKO-TEX® ORGANIC COTTON certification begins at the ginning stage. From there, the cotton is carefully tracked through every step of the supply chain via an OEKO-TEX® chain-of-custody, ensuring that the cotton remains traceable and that the final textile product is genuinely organic.
