At Kindhumans, we put the earth and future generations first. Which is why we search for the most sustainable, earth and people-friendly options out there – including our tees.
Mainstream textile production results in dying processes that leave behind a dangerous cocktail of carcinogens, dyes, salts and heavy metals, and petroleum-based polyester production (gross, we know). We couldn’t have that and don’t want to contribute to the problem.
So when we made our own, we chose GOTS certified organic cotton. From seed to shoulder, Kindhumans Essential Tees are an essential staple—for you and the planet. Each shirt is 100% GOTS certified—the cleanest, most sustainable way to manufacture textiles. Every tee in our Essentials Line is compostable and biodegradable. No chemicals, plastics, formaldehyde, carcinogens, or endocrine disruptors.
And in a world of fast fashion, it’s time we slow down and think circular and over the long term. Our Essentials Tees, made to be a lifetime closet staple, allow you to do more with less. This is more than your favorite new tee, it’s a new way to spread the love. We promise, you’ll be wearing and talking about these everywhere you go. Circular fashion for the conscious you. Can you dig it?
We’re excited and very proud to offer one of the first U.S. based GOTS certified 100% organic cotton tee. It’s a wardrobe staple that you’ll feel good wearing—on the inside and out.
Just like you, we’re doing our best to promote and wear sustainable fabrics. But not all are created equal. Here’s a snapshot of available options and where they stand in sustainability.

The Global Organic Textile Standard is the gold standard in textile and certifies that textiles—from yarn to furniture fabric—are being produced with fair + safe labour practices and strict ecological requirements with the least possible environmental impact. From cotton sources to material manufacturing to inks + dyes, GOTS certified clothing contributes to a circular lifestyle. The end to end process includes:
GOTS certification requires that at least 70% of fibers are made with organically grown fibers such as organic and wool. While an important step, the use of organic fibers is not enough.
GOTS prohibits the use of chemicals and other toxins that have been known to cause cancer, birth defects and other serious illnesses. Only low impact chemicals are emitted to protect consumers health. Maybe add here the ingredients used in these tees including inks?
Stringent restrictions are in place on wastewater treatment and require target goals and procedures to reduce water and energy consumption. Strict social criteria based on the International Labor Organization must be met. This includes safe working conditions, discrimination and no child labor.
