Organic Trade Association on a Mission to Benefit Us All

Pure Blankz

Animal, vegetable or mineral? Unlike the children’s game, no guessing is involved when products are labeled “certified 100% organic,” manufactured as food, fiber/textile or personal care products to confirm the quality, prevent misrepresentation, and encourage organic commerce. Since 1985, the Organic Trade Association (OTA) has been an advocate and force of change in promoting organic standards for certifying products and instilling consumer confidence.

The OTA focuses on North America, but its efforts and those of fellow organizations widely benefit growers and manufacturers, people, animals, and the environment. Each year, its influence encourages and supports more businesses to become trade members who embrace “green,” “eco-friendly,” and “certified 100% organic.”

The Giggle Guide® showcases four OTA members to highlight some of the ways their products support the certified 100% organic label: Sckoon Organics (organic clothing for babies, mothers and pets worldwide); B nature (soft organic clothing produced under Fair Labor practices); Pure Blankz (organic baby clothing under its own label or for other businesses); and Fresh Organics (bath and skin care, feeding products, toys and teethers).

Sckoon Organics - Where WWW Means “Word Wide Wear”

Sckoon Organics
The letters WWW usually denote “World Wide Web.” For Sckoon Organics, however, those initials mean “World Wide Wear” to represent the more than 900 boutiques and eco/health stores offering Sckoon 100% organic products around the world — across the USA and Canada, eastward to Scandinavia, through central and southern Europe, to the Far East, and onward to the lands down-under!

Sckoon covers the map in colorful and stylish products for babies, mamas and pets. In sizes for preemies up to 2 years, the baby clothing, booties, and bibs are 100% organic cotton with low-impact metal-free dyes, nickel-free snaps, and non-irritating stitching.

With catchy, unpredictable names like Monkey Pants, Elf Caps, Kabuki Kimonos, and Ha-Ha Tees, they’re available in equally-original coordinating colors. Soft Egyptian cotton is a staple for colorful and washable baby diapers and pads for mothers’ personal care. Fat Rabbit baby toys join Sckoon’s impressive collection of organic cotton (stuffing included) safe and chewable toys for little munchkins who put everything into their mouths. Even Sckoon dog coats/kimonos and bone toys are 100% organic cotton.

B nature - to Feel It Is to Love It!

B nature
To the eye, the B nature brand is a beautiful garment for baby boys or girls, embellished with irresistible embroidery. But to the touch, it’s certified 100% organic cotton sewn with flat-lock seam stitching that’s non-irritating to tender skin. Even product color names reflect nature: ivory, wheat, pistachio, chestnut, green tea, dusk, dawn, sea and sky. Everyone that feels such a garment loves it — especially when there’s a cuddly-coo baby inside!

The women who operate B nature know the touchy-feely secret. They encourage retailers to provide a display stand or two so consumers can touch and feel the richness of the heavy interlocking organic cotton weave before taking it home or to a baby shower in a recycled-paper box. In 0 to 2-year sizes, the goods include rompers, tops, bottoms, long/short sleeved bodysuits with ruffled pants, flounced skirts, blankets, gift sets and shoes!

B nature uses 100% organic cotton, grown and processed under fair labor and environmental standards to promote eco- and people-friendly living and minimize negative environmental impact. Be part of the solution at www.BNatureorganic.com

Pure Blankz Makes the World Better, One Product at a Time

Pure Blankz
Each Pure Blankz certified 100% organic cotton baby garment sewn helps make the world a better place, “made with care” following a pattern of honest, ethical, and more-selfless business practices. Pure Blankz’ fair labor practices and eco-friendly manufacturing processes demonstrate that members of the clothing industry can harmoniously coexist with the rest of the planet. They also support the cause through 1% For The Planet.

The art to making soft and brightly-colored quality baby garments, blankets, and bibs with the Pure Blankz label involves high absorption dyes for colors like Baby Butt Naked, Royal Pain, or Teal the Cows Come Home. Eco-friendly dyes certified as 100% Global Organic Textile Standard make it possible.

Without the signature label, Pure Blankz products offer a blank canvas to be developed under the private label of a wholesale customer — your private label, perhaps? The company can and does act as a bridge between its overseas factories and other manufacturers in North America who wish to build brand sustainability with certified 100% organic cotton baby clothing.

Visit www.PureBlankz.com for wholesale details and orders with or without the signature label.
