Why does it matter that they are organic?
It may surprise you to learn that the humble cotton plant uses more pesticides per plant than almost any other plant in the world. In fact, 22% of all insecticides and 20% of all pesticides in the world are used in cotton growing. This causes problems to the local environment to where the cotton is grown, killing off good bugs and plants as well as the bad causing an ecological imbalance.
Moreover, they are extremely dangerous to people. In fact, around 25,000 deaths a year are supposedly caused as a result of working with these chemicals!
60% of what we put on our skin is absorbed. So doesn’t it make sense to use the most gentle and natural products available?
Why not investigate our 100% organic cotton wool?

Having read how toxic cotton farming can be it was great to come across these organic cotton wool pads. I tend to use washable pads for makeup etc but I still like to have these on hand for cleaning my dog’s ears and taking off nail varnish. The pack is large so one of these lasts me ages.
