Fizabelle Behind-the-Scenes: How We Source Our Cotton

When you choose a sanitary pad, you may not think about where the cotton comes from. At Fizabelle, that story matters. Every pad begins in the field. Our mission is simple. Provide chemical-free, sustainable period care while protecting farmers and the planet.

Fizabelle cotton sourcing starts with certified organic farms. These farms follow strict standards that avoid harmful chemicals and protect natural resources. This is not just a label. It is a full system built on responsibility and care.

A Smarter Way to Use Water

Water is one of the biggest concerns in cotton farming. Conventional cotton requires heavy irrigation. Organic cotton uses up to 91 percent less irrigation water. It depends more on rain-fed farming and healthy soil that retains moisture better.

Organic cotton overall saves about 71 percent more water compared to conventional methods. This supports long-term soil regeneration and prevents degradation caused by pesticides and synthetic inputs.

Fizabelle Cotton Sourcing Uses Lower Energy, Lower Emissions

Energy use is another hidden part of cotton production. From field to fabric, organic cotton requires 62 percent less energy. This comes from simpler farming methods and fewer chemical processes.

Lower energy use means lower environmental impact. Fairtrade organic cotton also emits 45 percent less greenhouse gases. Emissions drop to about 862 kg of CO2 equivalent per hectare. At the same time, these farms produce 13 percent higher lint yields, around 598 kg per hectare.

This balance is powerful. More efficient production with fewer emissions creates a cleaner supply chain. It shows that sustainability and performance can work together.

Organic farming also helps capture carbon. It can sequester between 0.5 to 1 ton of CO2 per acre each year. Healthier biodiversity and reduced erosion, which drops by 30 percent, support this process. The soil becomes part of the climate solution.

Cutting Chemicals, Protecting Health

One of the strongest reasons behind Fizabelle cotton sourcing is the reduction of harmful chemicals. Organic practices cut pesticide use by 96 percent among certified farmers. Only 5 percent of organic farmers use synthetic fertilizers, compared to more than 90 percent in conventional farming.

This shift protects the environment, but it also protects people. Organic cotton farming reduces farmer illness from chemical exposure by 40 to 60 percent. Fewer toxic substances mean safer working conditions and better long-term health.

For the women who use Fizabelle pads, this matters too. Cotton grown without synthetic pesticides supports cleaner, chemical free period care. It reduces the risk of irritation linked to harsh agricultural inputs.
