Why GOTS Certified Organic Cotton Matters — and Why We Use It at Wellicious

At Wellicious, sustainability begins with the materials we choose. Every fibre we use is carefully selected for its quality, safety, and environmental integrity. That is why the organic cotton used in our collections is GOTS certified, ensuring that the raw material meets the highest global standards for organic and responsible production.

What Does GOTS Certified Mean?

GOTS, short for the Global Organic Textile Standard, is the world’s leading certification for organic fibres. It guarantees that the cotton is grown and processed according to strict environmental and social criteria, including:

• No use of toxic pesticides, synthetic fertilisers, or genetically modified seeds

• Fair working conditions and safe environments for farmers and workers

• Responsible water and waste management practices

• Non-toxic dyes and chemical inputs during fabric production

This certification ensures that the organic cotton fabric we use is both environmentally responsible and ethically sourced.

Why It Matters

By choosing GOTS certified organic cotton, we support sustainable farming practices that protect soil health, water systems, and biodiversity. It also helps ensure that everyone involved in the production process — from farmers to fabric makers — is treated with respect and fairness.

For you, this means that every Wellicious piece made with our GOTS certified organic cotton fabric feels soft, breathable, and safe against your skin — completely free from harmful toxins or irritants.

Conscious Comfort, Designed to Last

Our mission is to create yoga and activewear that is beautiful, circular, and kind to both people and the planet.
