Bamboo Clothing

Rosa Snow is committed to saving the Earth! Read on to find out about Bamboo and why it is such an awesome material!

As a natural fabric, Bamboo is:

• The most renewable: Bamboo is a self-propagating grass that grows much faster than other natural fibers - rapidly, continuously, and safely delivering more raw material per acre than other natural alternatives.
• The most sustainably grown: Bamboo is naturally organic and provides its rapid renewability without the use of pesticides, fertilizers, defoliaters, irrigation, exhaust spewing machine-based cultivation, or aerial spraying.
• The softest and most comfortable: Bamboo fiber is naturally smooth and rounded, providing an ultra soft, non-irritating hand and relaxed drape that surpasses other natural fabrics, including the best cottons.
• The most performance oriented: Compared to cotton, Bamboo is more breathable, wicks perspiration 3 to 4x faster, and provides improved UV protection - all of which help regulate body temperature in warm or cold conditions.
• The most hygienic: Bamboo's anti-bacterial, anti-fungal properties eliminate the need for chemical additives, making Bamboo a naturally hypo allergenic, more sanitary fabric that actively reduces skin irritation and odor.
• The most beneficial: By switching to Bamboo, we encourage the cultivation of a crop that improves soil quality, prevents and even reverses erosion, and absorbs 5x more carbon dioxide than equivalent stands of trees.

Note: Conventional cotton is the most toxic crop grown today. It takes 1/3 of a pound of chemicals to grow enough cotton for just one T-shirt. Conventional cotton farming uses over two billion pounds of synthetic pesticides a year and accounts for 24% of the world's insecticide use. Cotton production also wasted huge land and water resources.
