What GOTS certified means, from beginning to end

"Organic" on a swing tag can mean very little. GOTS certifies the whole journey, not just the cotton plant.

  • 1 · Field

    Certified organic cotton

    Grown on certified organic farms: no synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, and no genetically modified seed.

  • 2 · Spinning

    Kept separate, then combed

    Organic fibre is kept physically separate from conventional cotton. Ours is combed to remove short fibres, for a smoother, stronger yarn.

  • 3 · Knitting & weaving

    Certified mills only

    Every processing step must happen at a GOTS-certified facility, using only approved inputs.

  • 4 · Dyeing & finishing

    Approved dyes, azo-free

    Only GOTS-approved dyes and auxiliaries. Ours are azo-free. GOTS bans chlorine bleaching, restricts formaldehyde and heavy metals, and requires wastewater treatment.

  • 5 · Sewing

    A certified factory

    Cut and sewn at our GOTS-certified partner factory in Tirupur, India, under GOTS social criteria: no child or forced labour, safe conditions, fair minimum wages.

  • 6 · Audited

    Inspected every year

    Each certified facility is inspected on-site every year by an independent certification body. Not a one-time badge.

  • 7 · Traced

    Tracked shipment by shipment

    Certified goods move with a Transaction Certificate for each shipment, so the organic claim follows the fabric all the way.

  • 8 · Your hands

    The GOTS label

    Every piece comes with the GOTS label. That's the end of the chain, and the proof you can hold.

What's in every piece, and what isn't

  • Fibre

    100% organic cotton

    GOTS-certified, combed. Certified at every step, not just claimed on the label.

  • Dye

    Azo-free

    No azo dyes, the class most commonly restricted in children's textiles.

  • Finish

    No PFAS

    No "forever chemical" stain or water-repellent finishes anywhere in the range.

  • Composition

    No polyester

    No blends either. What's on the label is the whole composition.

Questions parents ask us

What does GOTS stand for?

The Global Organic Textile Standard, the leading worldwide standard for organic textiles. It covers the whole supply chain, from organic fibre through spinning, dyeing and sewing, with both environmental and social criteria.

Is "organic cotton" on a tag the same as GOTS certified?

No. A tag can say organic with nothing behind it, or only the raw cotton may have been organic. GOTS certifies every processing step and each facility, all the way to the finished garment and its label.

Does every Mom & Zoey piece come with the GOTS label?

Yes. Every piece is GOTS certified and comes with the GOTS label.

Is it really 100% organic cotton?

Yes. The fabric of every piece is 100% GOTS-certified combed organic cotton. No polyester, no blends.

What are azo-free dyes?

Azo dyes are the class most commonly restricted in children's textiles because some can release harmful amines. We don't use them.

Are there any PFAS or stain-resistant finishes?

None, anywhere in the range.

What does "combed" cotton mean?

The cotton is brushed before spinning to remove shorter fibres, which leaves a smoother, stronger, softer yarn.

What sizes do you make, and how do they fit?

Ages 2–6 only, with a relaxed, breathable fit. Check the size chart or use our Size Finder. Between sizes? Most parents size up for more wear.

Will it shrink?

Natural cotton can shrink slightly in a hot dryer. Wash cold, gently, and line dry to keep the fit. Full instructions on our Fabric Care page.

How do I wash it?

Cold, gentle cycle, mild detergent, no bleach, line dry. See Fabric Care.

Is it good for sensitive or eczema-prone skin?

Many parents of kids with sensitive skin look for breathable natural fibres and dyes without azo compounds, which is exactly how ours are made. Every child is different, so if your child has a skin condition, check with your paediatrician.

Do you make clothes for boys too?

Yes. Shirts, shorts and pants, many of them unisex. Shop boys’ shirts and boys’ bottoms.

Where are your clothes made?

Designed in Canada by a founder mom. Cut and sewn at our GOTS-certified partner factory in Tirupur, India, which is audited on-site every year.

Why does organic cost more than regular kidswear?

Certified organic farming, cotton kept separate at every step, approved dyes, yearly independent audits and small production runs. You're paying for a supply chain that can be checked, not just a word on a tag.

How does shipping work?

Free shipping across the USA. See our Shipping page for delivery times.

What if it doesn't fit or she doesn't love it?

60-day returns and easy exchanges on every order. Details in our Return Policy.
