Organic Cotton is an environmentally friendly, irritant free alternative to conventional cotton, which is one of the most heavily sprayed crops in the world. Not only is organic cotton chemical free, but it is also extremely soft and durable. You will find that many every-day, reasonably priced items are now being produced out of organic cotton. Cotton is a soft fiber that grows around the seeds of the cotton plant (Gossypium spp.), a shrub native to the Indian subcontinent and the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and the Americas.
