Cypriana prefers organically-grown cotton

At Cypriana, we prefer organically-grown cotton because it is not treated with pesticides, herbicides or petroleum-based fertilizers. In addition, organic cotton doesn’t use genetically-engineered seed, so it isn’t a genetically-modified organism (GMO).

There has been some controversy surrounding the effects to humans of using GMOs on an ongoing basis. Infants and children are especially susceptible to any harmful effects of GMOs, because they are growing and changing at a rapid rate and have fewer defenses against the toxins contained in GMOs.

Recently, however, fiber farmers in the United States, Egypt, India and other countries have been raising cotton organically without the use of costly, often ineffective and dangerous chemicals. Many growers and manufacturers of organic fabrics are devoted to developing alternative sources of the world’s favorite natural fiber.

As part of our commitment to making the world a healthier place, Cypriana will offer its customers products made with organically-grown cotton whenever possible.
