ABOUT COTTON
Is it conventional or certified organic cotton?
Conventionally Grown Cotton
Most people are still in the dark about the full story behind the conventional trade of cotton. The conventional trade of cotton can include: forced child labour, heavy pesticide use and human and environmental degradation.

Conventionally grown cotton uses more insecticides than any other single crop, typically using many of the most hazardous pesticides on the market. Each year cotton producers around the world use nearly $2.6 billion worth of pesticides, which is more than 10% of the world\'s pesticides and nearly 25% of the world\'s insecticides.

It is estimated that less than 10% of the chemicals used on cotton actually serve the purpose of eliminating pests, the rest are absorbed into the plant, air, soil and water. Pesticides don\'t only harm the earth; statistics report that 60% of field workers in the cotton industry show symptoms of permanent poisoning. These pesticides have not only been linked to cancer, there have been traces found in the milk of animals and nursing mothers.  In some areas, as much as 65% of the cotton harvest can enter the food chain.

If this wasn't enough, in recent years there has been the introduction to a new But genetically modified cotton which has added other negative attributes. See the following link for more details: http://www.qna.debralynndadd.com/content/genetically-modified-gmo-cotton

What is Organic Cotton?
Organically grown cotton has been produced without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. A field must be pesticide free for three years for the cotton to be certified organic.

NOTE: Even if a label says organic, unless there is certification there is no certainty unless you do your research.

Excelsis products are GOTS Certified 
Since 2002 Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) has evolved into holding a leading set of criteria in the field of organic textile processing; aiming to define a universal standard for organic fibres. Standards apply to fibre products, yarns, fabrics and clothes and cover the production, processing, manufacturing, packaging, labelling, exportation, importation and distribution of all natural fibre products. GOTS provides a continuous quality control and certification system from field to shelf.  There are also social responsibility components (i.e., fair wages, no forced or bonded labour, etc.).
