Definition: When looking for eco-friendly fabrics it's important to know the difference between these two terms.

Organic Fabric - Organic fabrics are grown and processed without any type of toxic chemicals.

Organic Fiber - Organic fibers are grown without chemicals and pesticides but can go through chemical treatments while they're being processed.

If you want something truly eco-friendly you'll want to opt for an organic fabric rather than just something made from organic fibers.
