A waffle towel in 100% Pima cotton, woven in Imabari, Japan, and OEKO-TEX certified. Not organic, but a single natural fiber and an open waffle construction that dries quickly rather than going musty.
100% cotton
The Imabari Waffle Towels are made entirely of cotton. Cotton is the soft everyday plant fiber, but conventionally grown with heavy pesticides. That composition is what Toxome scores, and it earns 84 out of 100 on the fiber scale, where 100 is cleanest. This piece carries OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Fair Trade, which cover how the fiber was grown and processed, not just what it is.

They are 100% cotton.
Cotton is the soft everyday plant fiber, but conventionally grown with heavy pesticides. Toxome rates every fiber on what it does to the body of the person wearing it, and publishes the reasoning rather than a badge. The score covers the fiber, not the dyes and finishes a mill adds later.
Toxome reads each garment's fiber composition and scores it on what that fiber does to your body, not on a brand's sustainability marketing. A higher score means a cleaner fiber. Composition is taken from what the brand publishes, so the score reflects the label rather than our opinion of it.
