Why Certified Organic Silk Matters: GOTS, OEKO-TEX and FSC Explained Simply
Why certified organic silk is worth your attention
When buying luxury loungewear, most people focus on color, print, or design — but the true quality lies in the fabric itself. Not all silk is created equal, and the safest and most responsible choice is certified organic silk.
At POLA, we work exclusively with GOTS and OEKO-TEX certified organic silk, and we package all orders in FSC-certified eco-friendly boxes. This ensures that every piece you wear is not only beautiful, but clean, ethical, and environmentally conscious.
What “Certified Organic Silk” really means
“Organic silk” refers to silk produced without harmful chemicals, toxic dyes, pesticides, or unethical labor practices.
Certified organic silk guarantees that each step — from raising silkworms to dyeing the fabric — follows strict ecological and ethical standards.
This matters for:
• your skin
• your long-term health
• the planet
• the lifespan of your clothing.
GOTS: The Global Organic Textile Standard
GOTS is the highest international standard for organic textiles. To earn this certification, silk must meet extremely rigorous criteria.
GOTS ensures that:
• silk fibers come from organically raised silkworms
• the processing avoids toxic chemicals
• water and energy consumption are controlled
• labor conditions are ethical and fair
When your pyjamas are made from GOTS-certified organic silk, you know they are safe, sustainable, and truly premium.
OEKO-TEX: Proven safety for your skin
The OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification confirms that textile products are free from substances that may harm your skin or overall health.
OEKO-TEX certified organic silk guarantees:
• no harmful chemicals or allergenic substances
• no heavy metals, formaldehyde, or toxic dyes
• absolute safety for sensitive and reactive skin
FSC: Responsible, eco-friendly packaging
Sustainability does not end with fabric — it extends to packaging.
FSC certification ensures that the paper used in our boxes comes from responsibly managed forests and supports biodiversity and reforestation.
FSC-certified packaging is:
• recyclable
• biodegradable
• ethically sourced
• environmentally low-impact
