At Wellicious, we are committed to creating non-toxic, sustainable yoga and activewear that supports both personal wellbeing and planetary health. That is why our products are Cradle to Cradle Certified®, ensuring they are made with safe, non-toxic materials designed for circularity. This certification gives full transparency around material health and confirms that our garments are safe for you, the people who make them and the environment.

At the heart of our collections lies GOTS-certified organic cotton, which forms the foundation of our yoga, Pilates and activewear. Every design choice begins with responsible material selection, supporting mindful movement and long-lasting quality.

GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is the world’s leading certification for organic textiles. It covers the entire supply chain from cotton farming to the finished garment, ensuring that no toxic pesticides, synthetic fertilisers or harmful chemicals are used. This results in organic cotton activewear that is non-toxic, skin-friendly and produced to the highest environmental and social standards.

For yoga and activewear, comfort, breathability and performance are essential. Many of our styles are made using a carefully developed blend of GOTS-certified organic cotton and biodegradable elastane, offering gentle stretch and freedom of movement while supporting our commitment to circular design and reduced environmental impact.

Alongside this, we also offer 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton T-shirts, designed for fitness, yoga and Pilates in a sustainable and healthy way. Made using only organic cotton and without synthetic fibres, they provide a soft, breathable and fully natural option worn close to the skin — ideal for everyday movement and conscious living.

Beyond material health, GOTS certification also guarantees strict social and environmental criteria throughout production. It ensures fair working conditions, protects farmers and garment workers, and promotes responsible water and energy use. Together with our Cradle to Cradle Certified® approach, this reflects our long-term commitment to transparency, circularity and ethical manufacturing.

By choosing GOTS-certified organic cotton — whether blended with biodegradable elastane or used in its pure form — as the base of our yoga and activewear, we create garments that are consciously made, non-toxic and designed to last. Every Wellicious piece supports mindful movement, sustainable fashion and a healthier future.
