Everyone cares about their children’s health

It is amazing how much we focus on our children’s health from when they are born! We look at minimising the plastics they are exposed today. Eco toys, organic foods and natural fibre clothing and bedding is now part of our language as parents. So why stop when our kids are no longer toddlers? In fact the opportunity to absorb microplastics into their young bodies only grows as they get older and out into the world. This is why we created teysha. Your skin is your body's largest organ. It absorbs more than you might think. Everyday clothes are in direct contact with your skin. They are mostly made from fabrics treated with toxic chemicals. Those substances find their way into your body. Many fast fashion brands use synthetic materials and chemical treatments to make clothes wrinkle free, water resistant and long lasting but those chemicals can be harmful to your health. 

Some fabrics are treated with formaldehyde (a known irritant) and synthetic dyes that contain heavy metals and even plastic based coatings. Over time exposure to these substances can lead to skin irritation, allergic reactions or in some cases long term health concerns. Choosing organic and natural fabrics is one of the great ways to protect your child's health. Organic cotton is grown without harmful pesticides and isn’t treated with toxic chemicals making it safer for your skin and the environment. Since your skin absorbs from whatever it touches, being mindful of what we wear against our bodies is just as important as choosing safe skincare or healthy foods. Investing in high quality chemical free clothing is an easy way to take care of your body, inside and out.  After all, what is more intimate on the body than a child's undergarments?


What is in our clothes?

Let’s talk about chemical safety in our clothes. PFAS are commonly known as group of over 10,000 chemicals and synthetic substances used in fabric manufacture. These endocrine disruptors mess with our hormones and cause disease. The chemicals accumulate in the body and the environment and never go away. Don’t wrap your body in plastic clothes try the tesyha organic stretch. It’s time to think differently and choose something that’s better for your body and the environment.

Why organic?

GOTS certified organic cotton is your skins best friend. Not only is it healthier, its better quality and even better for the environment. 

Organic GOTS certified cotton will absorbe moisture and will stay dry. In other words, it breathes (as opposed to nylon or other synthetic fibers which can cause perspiration). This is why organic cotton fabrics are way more comfy than synthetics. 

GOTs certified Organic cotton fabric, uses less dye that pollutes the environment and uses less water and energy to produce. Unlike synthetic fabrics organic cotton breaks down over time and is biodegradable.

GOTS certified Organic cotton also contributes to a healthier sleep. Temperature regulating is tricky for the body, these breathable fabrics allow your body to feel comfortable through the night.
