Updated: May 15

When it comes to choosing sustainable clothing, there are a lot of factors to consider. One of the most important is the type of cotton used. Organic cotton is a great option, but there's a new kid on the block that's quickly gaining popularity: regenerative cotton.


So, what's the difference between the two?


Organic Cotton


Organic cotton is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or herbicides. This means that it's better for the environment and for the farmers who grow it. Organic cotton is also less likely to cause skin irritations.


Regenerative Cotton


Regenerative cotton takes things a step further than organic cotton. In addition to being grown without synthetic chemicals, regenerative cotton farms are also designed to improve soil health, increase biodiversity, and capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This makes regenerative cotton the most sustainable type of cotton available.


So, Which One Should You Choose?


If you're looking for the most sustainable option, then regenerative cotton is the way to go. However, organic cotton is still a great choice if you're looking for a more affordable option.


No matter which type of cotton you choose, you can be sure that you're making a sustainable choice. By choosing sustainable clothing, you're helping to protect the environment and the people who make our clothes.


Here are some additional benefits of regenerative cotton:


Improved soil health: Regenerative cotton farming practices help to improve soil health by increasing organic matter content, improving soil structure, and reducing erosion.


Increased biodiversity: Regenerative cotton farming practices help to increase biodiversity by planting a variety of crops and cover crops, and by providing habitat for pollinators and other wildlife.


Carbon sequestration: Regenerative cotton farming practices can help to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by improving soil health and increasing plant growth.
