"Organic," "natural," and "GOTS certified" on clothing labels are not the same thing, here's the actual difference
Navigating clothing labels like "organic," "natural," and "GOTS certified" can be surprisingly complex—they aren't interchangeable. "Natural" simply indicates a non-synthetic fiber, offering no insight into production methods. "Organic" pertains to farming practices, ensuring no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers were used. Crucially, GOTS certification provides independent verification, encompassing the entire process from farm to finished garment, demanding stringent chemical restrictions.
