Understanding Certifications: What Do GOTS and OEKO-TEX Mean for Your Baby?

Understanding Certifications: What Do GOTS and OEKO-TEX Mean for Your Baby?

At Mon Coeur, we believe that what touches your baby’s skin should be as gentle as your love—and just as pure. That’s why we choose materials and partners who meet the highest global standards for safety and sustainability. You may have seen terms like GOTS or OEKO-TEX® pop up on our tags, and wondered: What do these certifications actually mean?

We’re here to break it down for you in the simplest way possible—because when it comes to your little one, peace of mind matters.

🌱 What is GOTS?

GOTS stands for the Global Organic Textile Standard, and it’s one of the most trusted certifications in the world for organic fabrics.

In plain terms:
GOTS makes sure your baby’s clothes are really, truly organic—from seed to stitch.

Here’s how:

• No toxic chemicals: GOTS-certified fabrics are made without harmful pesticides, bleaches, or dyes.

• Fair working conditions: The people making the clothes are treated ethically and work in safe, clean environments.

• Eco-friendly practices: Every step—from growing the cotton to sewing the final garment—must be kind to the planet.

For you, that means less worry about hidden irritants and more confidence that your baby is wrapped in something safe, soft, and sustainable.

🧸 What is OEKO-TEX®?

You’ll also spot the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 label on many of our pieces. This certification focuses on safety in a different (but equally important!) way.

OEKO-TEX® checks for harmful substances in fabrics—even if they’re not banned by law.

This includes:

• Allergens

• Heavy metals

• Residual pesticides

• And other sneaky chemicals that could cause irritation

It’s like a super-thorough safety check for every button, zipper, thread, and fabric your baby comes into contact with.

Why These Certifications Matter

When you see GOTS and OEKO-TEX® on Mon Coeur clothing, here’s what you can trust:

• Your baby’s skin is safe from harsh chemicals

• The planet is being protected through sustainable farming and production

• Every person involved in making the clothing was treated with care and respect

We go the extra mile so you don’t have to second-guess what your baby is wearing. With these certifications, you can feel good about your choices—because they’re good for your child and good for the Earth they’ll grow up in.

Little Clothes. Big Impact. 💚

At Mon Coeur, our mission is simple: create beautiful, thoughtful clothing that loves the planet as much as your little one does. Certifications like GOTS and OEKO-TEX® aren’t just badges—they’re promises. To you, to your child, and to the future.
