organic clothes for sensitive skin

I just received the latest catalogue from Cotton Comfort, the eczema clothing specialists and wanted to post on the great range of organics that they now offer for babies, children and adults. From underwear to pyjamas, tights and socks to school uniform, they've got it covered and the sizes go right up to 160cms. Another new addition to the catalogue is a set of natural beeswax face paints, as regular paints can be a real problem for children with sensitive skin. In fact, even the natural facepaints I use that are made by Lyra affect some children causing a rash and tightness. Not today though - today we had a wood full of home educated butterflies and one little mouse, climbing trees and playing sardines and there were no adverse reactions to the facepaints! 
Back to clothes and for those suffering with severe eczema, Dorothy Clark (who designed the range in response to her daughter's eczema) has created Comfymitt items with mittens attached to stop scratching at night. Many products are made from 'silver soothe cotton', which uses silver in its colloidal form to ease itchiness. Well worth a look.

Hello, Thank you for your web site. The info you provide is informative and helpful. I am seeking to find sources for information on bamboo clothing for sensitive skin. I'd like to about any research/certification processes and protocols/retail and wholesale outlets for clothing of this type. I am a U.S. citizen in the state of Ohio. Domestic and international sources would be very helpful. I can be reached at: c.thomasmahlungulu_ysc@yahoo.com

Thank you vet much,
