Health Benefits of Organic Cotton Socks

1. Hypoallergenic Properties: Organic cotton is free from harmful chemicals, pesticides, and dyes, making it an excellent choice for children with sensitive skin and allergies. Studies have shown that organic cotton can reduce the risk of skin irritations and rashes (Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2020).
2. Breathability and Comfort: Organic cotton fibres are naturally soft and breathable, which helps in maintaining healthy foot hygiene by reducing moisture and preventing fungal infections (Paediatric Dermatology, 2019).
3. Durability: The high-quality fibres of organic cotton are more durable and less likely to cause friction, which is essential for active children to prevent blisters and discomfort.

Environmental Benefits

1. Reduced Chemical Use: Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, reducing the pollution of water bodies and soil.
2. Sustainable Farming Practices: Organic cotton farming often uses crop rotation and composting, which help maintain healthy soil and reduce environmental impact.
