When we talk about “organic bath towels”, we mean nontoxic and eco friendly bath towels.
They mirror the beauty of nature and are made from sustainably sourced materials. Some examples are cotton, bamboo and linen. Natural towels come in an array of colors and sizes to help you curate a stylish and greener bathroom.
Organic bath towels are superior because they’re woven from nature's materials. OEKO-TEX towels are also ultra soft and highly absorbent without the chemicals. Unlike your thin and scratchy bath towels, towels made from natural materials without the nasty additives are long lasting and actually softer. So, your skin will thank you for the long haul.
The most popular option for natural bath towels often carry the GOTS “Global Organic Textile Standard” label or OEKO-TEX label. These are ultra soft and super absorbent. In particular, fair trade Turkish cotton is famous for getting softer the more it’s washed. There are other options like airy Egyptian cotton and supremely fluffy Hydrocotton.
Most importantly, you’ll want to take notice of how the material was produced. Combed cotton is brushed to remove short fibers. This makes the organic towel softer and more durable. Whereas, low twist cotton results in a more absorbent towel with a plush feel.
Most brands offer a range of organic towels in standard sizes. Organic wash cloths are great for your gentle shower or face routine. Face towels are usually around 12" x 12". The next size up are 17” x 30" organic hand towels to wipe your hands. Then, standard bath towels are typically 28" x 54" which should be large enough for the average adult.
If you’re looking for something more luxurious, a bath sheet is the largest towel you can find for your bathroom. These are usually 40" x 72" and will ensure you’re cocooned from head to toe in buttery warm softness.
One of the main benefits of eco bath towels is that you invite the stunning colors of nature into your home. The color of your organic bath towel sets will depend on the design and aesthetic of your home. Tan and rose create a warm palette straight out of a countryside haven. On the other hand, steel and taupe give rise to modern neutral tones for an at home spa feel.
You can never go wrong with classic white organic towel sets. They take all of the guesswork out of coordinating because they match every theme like a dream.
Can eco friendly towels be stylish too? Absolutely! Your eco bath towels can feature a thick, smooth flat border to fit your modern space. Look for soft tasseled edges to add texture to your chic and stylish bathroom.
