ORGANIC COTTON: SOFT ON SKIN, GENTLE ON THE EARTH

For centuries, humans grew cotton the way nature intended—pure, chemical-free, and gentle on the earth. Then came industrialisation, synthetic chemicals, and shortcuts that caused environmental damage and textile waste.

At Arcaa, we’ve returned to the beginning—crafting consciously made clothing using certified organic cotton. It's better for your skin, better for the planet, and designed to last.

YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT ORGANIC COTTON

WHY CHOOSE ORGANIC COTTON?

Organic cotton is grown without harmful chemicals or GMOs, making it better for your skin and the environment.

IS ORGANIC COTTON SAFE FOR BABIES?

Yes. It is soft, hypoallergenic, and free from toxic chemicals—ideal for delicate baby skin.

DOES ORGANIC COTTON SHRINK?

Organic cotton may shrink slightly after the first wash if not cared for properly. Washing in cold water and air drying helps maintain its shape.

HOW IS ORGANIC COTTON MADE?

It’s grown without synthetic inputs and processed naturally—free from bleaches and dyes—resulting in clean, breathable fibres.

HOW LONG DOES ORGANIC COTTON LAST?

Because it avoids harsh chemical treatments, organic cotton retains its strength and softness for years with proper care.

ORGANIC COTTON VS CONVENTIONAL COTTON?

Organic cotton is grown without synthetic chemicals, uses less water, and supports healthy soil. Conventional cotton often relies on pesticides and intensive irrigation, which can harm ecosystems and reduce fibre quality over time.

IS ORGANIC COTTON CERTIFIED?

Yes. Arcaa uses certified organic cotton, including OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, which ensures the fabric is tested for harmful substances and produced with low environmental impact.
