Support Non-GMO Organic Cotton Products!

In light of the news about GMO (genetically modified) cotton coming from Argentina, it's more important than ever that we be mindful of what we're putting against our skin. GMO Inside recently shared that almost 100 percent of the GMO cotton in tampons, gauze pads and swabs contains Glyphosate., better known as the herbicide commonly known as Roundup.. Who wants to be putting that against their skin? Fortunately, there is already movement on growing cotton organically. Non-GMO Report recently shared this news about the Texas Organic Cotton Marketing Cooperative. But organic cotton products are still just entering the market.

Organic Essentials offers several organic non-GMO cotton products in cotton balls, cotton rounds, and cotton swabs. Well-known organic brand Seventh Generation offers organic tampons. They're all competitively priced and actually beat out the GMO brands in price on some occasions. Let's hope that more non-GMO organic cotton products become more widely available in the near future!
