As a Swiss parent, you want only the best for your child—safe, soft, and sustainable clothing that protects their sensitive skin and supports the planet. At Dear Gaia, we understand this deeply, which is why we offer a carefully selected range of GOTS- and OEKO-TEX® certified organic cotton baby clothes in Switzerland, made with care in the EU.
From baby bodysuits and rompers to hooded towels, muslin cotton sets, turbans, socks, tights, and basics for older children, our It’s Always Organic collection is designed to protect your child, without compromise.
Why organic cotton is better than conventional cotton
Organic cotton isn't just a trend—it’s a meaningful shift toward healthier, safer, and more sustainable textiles. Compared to conventional cotton, organic cotton offers critical advantages for your child and the environment.
✅ No harmful chemicals
Conventional cotton uses up to 16% of the world's pesticides and a significant amount of synthetic fertilizers. These residues can linger in finished fabrics and may irritate your baby’s delicate skin. Organic cotton, on the other hand, is grown without these chemicals, making it a non-toxic choice that reduces the risk of allergies, rashes, or eczema.
✅ Gentler on the planet
Organic cotton farming uses less water, promotes soil regeneration, and protects biodiversity by avoiding toxic pesticides that harm insects and wildlife. It also reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional practices.
✅ Safer for farmers
By avoiding toxic chemicals, organic cotton farming protects the health of agricultural workers and local communities—many of whom are affected by the long-term environmental consequences of conventional cotton farming.
✅ More durable and breathable
Organic cotton fibers are hand-picked and less processed, making them stronger, softer, and longer-lasting. This means fewer worn-out clothes and more garments that can be passed on, reused, or repurposed—perfect for eco-conscious Swiss families.
What GOTS and OEKO-TEX® certifications really mean
At Dear Gaia, we don’t just say our products are safe—we prove it with internationally recognized certifications.
GOTS – Global Organic Textile Standard
GOTS is the world’s leading certification for organic textiles. It ensures that from farm to finished product, every step of production meets strict environmental and social criteria.
When you buy a GOTS-certified product from Dear Gaia, you can trust that it:
- Is made with at least 95% certified organic fibers
- Contains no toxic dyes, PVC, heavy metals, or formaldehyde
- Was produced under ethical labor conditions (no child labor or unsafe working conditions)
- Uses sustainable water and energy practices
In short, GOTS means true transparency—something Swiss consumers increasingly value.
OEKO-TEX® Standard 100
OEKO-TEX® focuses on the safety of the finished textile product. A baby towel with OEKO-TEX® certification has been tested for over 100 harmful substances, including heavy metals, formaldehyde, phthalates, and allergenic dyes.
This certification ensures your baby’s skin comes into contact only with clean, safe, and harmless materials—a crucial consideration for items like towels, socks, tights, or underwear that are used every day.
Together, GOTS and OEKO-TEX® create a complete safety net, giving you full peace of mind when dressing your baby or child.

Caring for organic cotton – the Swiss way
Organic cotton is easy to maintain and becomes softer with every wash. Here’s how to care for it sustainably:
- Wash at 30°C using eco-friendly detergent
- Air dry to preserve the fabric and reduce energy use
- Store in a dry space
With proper care, these clothes last beyond a single season—and can be passed on with pride.
