organic: (ôr-gan´ik) Using or grown with fertilizers consisting only of animal or plant matter, with no use of synthetic chemicals or pesticides. Simple, basic and in harmony with nature.

Babies are special, and so is their precious skin. Because harsh dyes and chemicals can cause rashes on delicate newborns, more designers have discovered the benefits of organic cotton and all-natural ingredients. Today’s organic baby goodies have reached the mainstream with charming onesies, feel-good blankies and sachets with essential oils and lavender and so much more.
