All our organic cotton uses Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) approved inks and dyes, which are free from chlorine bleach, toxic heavy metals, formaldehyde and aromatic solvents.

We continue to align ourselves with Social Accountability International (SAI) accredited suppliers for our fabrics and manufacturing and work closely with them to deliver on continuous improvements.
