Non-organic cotton is often characterized as a natural material, although it has been highly cultivated and processed, causing groundwater pollution and food chain poisoning. Organic cotton fits well on the skin and is an excellent breathable material, unlike synthetic fabric, which causes allergies, static electricity, and sweating. The high amount of chemicals used in the cultivation of industrial cotton eventually reaches the end product, or clothing, which can also cause various skin irritations._x000D__x000D_
