At Buddhi Threads, we are deeply committed to creating conscious, ethical, and sustainable products that not only respect the earth but also care for your skin. One of the key elements in our approach to loungewear is the use of both Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic dyes and completely natural dyes, depending on the garment. But why is this so important?
Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and it’s incredibly absorbent. This means that whatever comes into contact with your skin, including the clothing you wear, can affect your body. Synthetic dyes used in conventional clothing manufacturing often contain harmful chemicals like heavy metals, formaldehyde, and toxic solvents. Over time, these chemicals can leach into the skin, potentially causing irritation, allergic reactions, or even long-term health concerns.
At Buddhi Threads, we ensure that every garment is crafted with care, using either GOTS-certified organic dyes or natural plant-based dyes. Our GOTS-certified dyes meet strict environmental and toxicological standards, ensuring a higher level of safety for your skin. Natural dyes, derived from plants, flowers, and other organic materials, are also chemical-free and gentle on sensitive skin. Whether you're wearing a garment dyed with GOTS-certified dyes or one printed with natural dyes, both options provide peace of mind and skin safety.
Because we use a combination of GOTS-certified organic dyes and natural dyes, you can feel confident that our garments are safe for prolonged contact with your skin. The absence of harsh chemicals means your skin isn’t exposed to irritants, making our garments especially suitable for those with skin conditions such as eczema or dermatitis. Whether you’re relaxing at home or wearing your loungewear to bed, our dyeing processes ensure comfort and safety.
Natural and GOTS-certified dyes produce beautifully subtle, earthy hues that feel closer to nature. These calming and soft shades reflect the relaxed, grounded feeling we want Buddhi Threads to evoke. The colors develop unique characteristics over time, creating a story of mindful craftsmanship and a deeper connection with nature.
By choosing both GOTS-certified dyes and natural dyes, we are reducing our environmental impact across the board. GOTS certification ensures that the dyes used meet rigorous environmental standards, while natural dyes offer a low-impact alternative by utilizing plant-based, renewable resources. Both methods contribute to less water usage, safe waste management, and minimal harm to ecosystems.
When you choose Buddhi Threads, you’re choosing more than just beautifully crafted, comfortable loungewear. You’re choosing to protect your skin, honor the earth, and embrace a more sustainable, health-conscious lifestyle. Whether dyed with GOTS-certified organic dyes or printed with natural dyes, our garments feel as good as they look—gentle on the skin and kind to the planet.
