The organic cotton is certified by third party institutions , which check the whole production process and give, in the case of a positive outcome, the origin and the production chain. In addition to this, the organic cotton must be produced from seed natural, and not genetically modified (GMO).
A certification for Organic cotton, attesting to the quality and the correctness of the biological origin of the cotton, there is definitely the exclusion of pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides, and more than 900 synthetic substances that are harmful to the environment and to human health.
Article 1 of the law that regulates this type of production (REGULATION (EC) No. 834/2007 of the COUNCIL OF 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing regulation (EEC) no. 2092/91) explicitly mentions:
Organic production is an overall system of farm management and food production based on the interaction between the best environmental practices, a high level of biodiversity, the preservation of natural resources, the application of strict criteria in the field of animal welfare and a production adapted to the preferences of certain consumers for products produced with substances and natural processes. The organic production method exerts, therefore, a twofold social function, providing on the one hand to a specific market that meets the demand of organic products of consumers and, on the other, by providing public goods that contribute to the protection of the environment, animal welfare and rural development.

How important is the fabric that we wear on our skin?
Not all realize, when we talk about pollution and the human body, the apparatus receptive of the body is the skin. The skin is the biggest filter between us and the external environment and anything (air, tissue, liquid...) is in contact with us is filtered and then absorbed by our epidermis.
From here it is quite evident that, a tissue with high concentrations of harmful elements that are often used for the treatment or for the production of the base material of the head, it can cause, with time, the absorption constant of the chemical agents released from the fibres of the textile product.
We are always attentive to what we eat, it is almost a fashion now, but too often we forget of what we wear. A European Commission study a few years ago, found that 8% of dermatitis on our continent is caused by the tissues that are in contact with our skin day after day.
