Why Buy Organic?                                    

5 reasons to go organic by the Soil Association

1. For Health - on average organic food contains higher levels of vitamin C, essential minerals and cancer-fighting antioxidants.
2. No nasty additives - amongst the additives banned by the Soil Association are hydrogenated fat, aspartame and monosodium glutamate.
3. Avoids pesticides - over 400 chemicals are routinely used in non-organic farming and residues are often present in non-organic food.
4. High animal welfare - the benefits of the organic approach are recognised by animal welfare organisations and the UK government.
5. Good for wildlife and the environment - Organic farming is better for wildlife, causes lower pollution from sprays and produces less carbon dioxide.

Don't forget that many of the natural organic products in the ranges sold at Green Beginnings are plant extracts and so all the above points are relevant not only for the food we eat but also for the organic beauty, organic skin care products and organic baby products on sale today.

Buying Organic Cotton Clothes

Organic products are made using fewer pesticides or chemical fertilisers, which has big health and safety benefits for cotton farmers and is good for the environment too.

If a label says ‘100% organic cotton’, you know the raw cotton was grown organically. If you want to make sure the entire production process of the garment meets organic standards, look for labels from the Soil Association, SKAL and Naturtextil.

These three organisations certify the producers use environmentally-friendly dyes and processes throughout.

Why Organic Cotton is Good for Little People:

• Organic cotton feels softer as the cotton fibres are left intact and are not broken down by the chemicals used in conventional cotton farming and processing.
• Organic cotton smells cleaner because it is not finished with formaldehyde.
• Organic cotton is less likely to trigger allergies due to the absence of harmful chemicals.
• Organic cotton has increased breathability.
