What is organic cotton? What is the difference between organic cotton and pure cotton?
Organic cotton refers to cotton produced using organic planting methods, without the use of chemical fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides. It has the characteristics of ecology, green, and environmental protection. The fabric made of organic cotton has a bright luster, soft texture, excellent resilience, drape and wear resistance, and have unique antibacterial and deodorizing properties.

The difference between organic cotton and pure cotton:
- Planting methods
During the cultivation process of organic cotton, chemical fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides are not used, ensuring the natural and pollution-free nature of cotton. In contrast, there are no special requirements for the cultivation method of pure cotton, and chemical fertilizers and pesticides can be used for management.
- Fiber characteristics
Organic cotton fibers are usually longer and finer than pure cotton, with better breathability and moisture absorption, making them more suitable for making products that require softness, comfort, and environmental protection, such as baby clothing, bedding, etc.
- Comfort level
The fiber characteristics of organic cotton make it softer, more comfortable, and less irritating, making it more friendly to people with sensitive skin. Breathability and moisture absorption are also better, making wearing more comfortable.
- Application
Due to its environmentally friendly and sustainable characteristics, the application range of organic cotton is gradually expanding, and some brands have begun to use organic cotton to make clothing, household products, etc. The application range of pure cotton is very wide, and almost all textiles can be made from pure cotton. From clothing and bedding to towels, curtains, etc., pure cotton is one of the commonly used materials, and pure cotton products occupy a large market share.
