Certified organic, using non-GMO, fair-trade cotton. It feels wonderfully soft and gentle on sensitive skin. 2. Free from bleaching, dyeing, and detergent washing, preserving the fibers' integrity for a truly soft touch. 3. To showcase the natural texture of organic cotton, no sizing is applied to the weft yarn. We've worked closely with our weaving factory, leveraging advanced weaving techniques to create this unique fabric. 4. The 3-layer gauze is versatile year-round: it absorbs sweat in warmer months and traps air for warmth in cooler seasons. * When you first start using the towel, some natural plant oils from the raw cotton may remain, affecting its initial absorbency. With washing and continued use, its water absorption will improve significantly, and the texture will become even more delightful. * The unbleached/white color is the natural hue of the raw cotton. The brown color comes from naturally brown cotton. While the brown color will not significantly bleed onto other items during washing, it will gradually lighten with use. 【What is Botanical Dyeing?】 Botanical dyeing is a technique that uses natural dyes extracted from flowers, leaves, roots, stems, bark, fruits, and more. After adhering a protein-based paste evenly to the fabric to create a bond between the fiber and the natural dye, a small amount of chemical dye is added. This process acts as a mordant substitute, enhancing colorfastness (resistance to fading from light, sweat, and washing) and stabilizing the pigments, resulting in beautiful, natural colors on the fabric. Natural dyes are not as simple as single chemical compounds. A single color can contain multiple pigments. The interplay of weaker and stronger pigments, through diffuse reflection, creates the soft, pleasing colors we see. We hope you will enjoy the vibrant yet deep and gentle hues of botanical dyeing. Botanical dyeing is also an eco-friendly method, as it produces less wastewater and consumes less water during the dyeing process, making it kinder to both the planet and people.
