Gaiam Organic Towels are premium towels made from 100% organic cotton. It would be nice to have organic towels such as these that are made without chemicals being in the fibers of the cotton. I don’t like the smell of some new towels and fabrics where there is some type of odor that makes me want to wash them as soon as possible! There’s no way to know how many different chemicals were used in the making of these non-organic towels.
