better about your wellbeing and know that you are helping out the environment at the same time. All-organic

10. What are the benefits of using organic products?
Organic agriculture protects the health of people and the planet by reducing the overall exposure to toxic
chemicals from synthetic pesticides that can end up in the ground, air, water and food supply, and that are
associated with health consequences, from asthma to cancer. Because organic agriculture doesn’t use toxic
and persistent pesticides, choosing organic products is an easy way to help protect yourself.
It is very important for pregnant women, infants, and children to eat organic food, wear organic clothing, and
sleep under organic fibers. Pesticides found in conventional food or conventional fiber can cause
developmental problems, allergies and asthma.
One can be assured of a product quality, product purity and use of fair trade practices when product is labeled
organic.
11. What impacts the cost of organic products?
Economies of scale - conventional product sales substantially exceed organic product sales. The costs
associated with the growing/harvesting, manufacturing and distribution of organic products are higher due to
the smaller quantities. As demand for organic products increase, the growing, manufacturing and distribution
costs will decrease to a point closer to conventionally grown products. Buying organic products also helps to
create a market transformation in which higher demand reduces costs and provides finished goods through
more mainstream sources.
Organic farming is more labor intensive - because organic farming uses mechanical and human
intervention rather than pesticides for crop maintenance.
12. What is lanolin?
The term lanolin comes from the Latin ―lana” for wool and ―oleum” for oil.
Lanolin is the oil that serves as a moisturizer and acts as waterproofing for the sheep. It comes from the
fleece of sheep after shearing. No harm comes to the sheep in extracting lanolin. One hundred pounds of
wool yield about two to four pounds of lanolin. It is a natural and renewable raw material and not a processed
synthetic compound.
13. Where can be lanolin used?
Lanolin found its medical use as an ingredient in a variety of products such as cosmetics, lip balms, and skin
creams. Lanolin also can treat diaper rashes, rough feet and minor burns
14. What fabric do you use on your products?
We use 100% certified organic cotton. Comforter fabric is woven in 300 TC sateen. Mattress pad and pillow
fabric is jacquard woven. Both fabric options feel soft and comfortable on the skin.
15. What is a thread count?
Thread count refers to the number of threads, both lengthwise (warp) and widthwise (weft) in a one-inch
square of fabric. Thread count is affected by a number of factors, including ply and thickness of the threads
used. The ply of the fabric refers to how many threads are wrapped together into a single thread. Single-ply
fabrics use threads on their own, while two-ply fabrics twist two pieces together into a stronger thread, as well
as doubling the thread count of the fabric.
Using finer threads also allows for more thread to fit in a square inch. Finer thread often results in smoother,
softer fabrics, part of the reason higher thread count fabrics are considered more desirable than fabrics with a
lower thread count.
