How It's Made

Ingredients:  100% native seed cotton

We use natural off-white cotton that is grown by the village artisans using organic farming practices. 

Native cotton seed can actually grow during a drought. Not to be confused with the water-thirsty GMO cotton seed invented 30 years ago that now makes up 99.4% of cotton production globally.
