Why Buy Organic Children’s Clothing?

These days, a lot of clothing is made out of synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, and rayon. Although these types of fabrics may not be especially problematic for the general population, they can be irritating for kids with sensitive skin or similar conditions like eczema.

There’s also the microplastic problem. When synthetic clothing is washed, tiny pieces of that synthetic material get washed down the drain and enter our waterways. These microplastics are making their way through our entire food chain and back into human bodies, where they can cause negative health effects.

Natural materials are better, but organic is the best.

Conventional cotton is grown using toxic pesticides. And while there’s no indication (that I’ve found, anyway) that there are many lingering pesticides on your cotton t-shirt by the time it gets to you, those pesticides still end up in our bodies through a different route. They wash wash away or evaporate from the cotton fields and then end up flowing through our water supplies, where we drink them, cook with them, and bathe in them.

It may seem a little far-fetched because the potential effects aren’t immediate, but it’s more about the kind of world we’re leaving for our children years and even decades from now.

Fabrics made from organic, regenerative, and pesticide-free crops are better for overall human and environmental health in the long run.

What to Look for in Non-Toxic, Organic, & Sustainable Children’s Clothing Brands

As you shop, here are some things to look out for in non-toxic, ethically-made, and sustainable clothing for your little ones:

1. GOTS Certified Organic Cotton (Or Other Natural Fabrics)

Although you may find other natural materials such as hemp or linen in kids’ clothes, most brands use organic cotton.

Although GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is not the only third-party certification available for organic cotton clothing, it’s definitely the most common one. It ensures that the cotton used for fabrics is grown without synthetic pesticides and processed without toxic chemicals and that farmers are paid a fair wage for their crops.

2. OEKO-TEX

A lot can happen to a fiber from the time it’s harvested to when it makes it into your home.

You’ll want to consider the dyes used to color the fabric and whether or not any other additives have been used. (For example, be very wary of clothing and accessories that are labeled water- or stain-resistant as it can indicate that toxic PFAS have been added.)

The OEKO-TEX label can help determine whether the finished product has detectable levels of various toxins. It’s not perfect, but it’s still helpful. (As of 2024, it bans some PFAS, but not all of them.)

3. Fair Trade

Most parents don’t want children making their children’s clothes. So look for brands that come with Fair Trade certifications or other indications that their products have been made under ethical conditions (living wages, no child labor, safe places to work, etc).

Are Bamboo Baby Clothes Better?

You’ll definitely find some brands out there offering clothes made out of bamboo fabric (a type of rayon) as well. The thing about bamboo fabric is that it depends on how it’s made.

There is a lot of processing that has to happen to turn bamboo into a fabric, which is why by the time it’s finished, it actually only qualifies as a semi-synthetic.

This is also why a yellow flag should go up in your head when you see “organic” bamboo… Because technically, in the U.S., bamboo fabric can’t even qualify as organic because of the amount of processing it goes through.

Some bamboo fabric is made using a few toxic chemicals, and you can read more about this in our deep dive into rayon.

Other kinds of bamboo fabric (like that from Lenzing) are made using less-toxic chemicals and a closed-loop process (which prevents these toxicants from being dumped into the water supplies).

So as you can see, not all bamboo fabric is created equal.

All that being said, just because these chemicals are used in production doesn’t mean any of it ends up in the finished product that ends up next to your child’s skin. So if you already have bamboo clothing in your kids’ wardrobe, I wouldn’t worry about it. This is more something to consider when thinking about the wider impacts of these fabrics as a whole.
