Wrapping yourself up in one of these luxuriously soft, organic towels is the perfect way to add a bit of sustainable self-care into your everyday life. These brands have 100% natural, earth-friendly towels that you dry off with in good conscience knowing the fabric is safe for your skin and good for our planet, too.
The towels listed in this guide are made from all eco-friendly and organic materials — mostly from organic cotton as well as some linen and hemp. Check out this post to learn more about organic cotton (including why it’s so important to prioritize organic over conventional cotton!) and this post for more on linen.
When looking for organic cotton towels, prioritize brands that have cotton certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) standard. This is the highest and most reputable certification for organic textiles. In addition to ensuring the fibers used were grown organically, GMO-free without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, the GOTS seal ensures that fabric and products were produced in a socially and environmentally responsible way, too.
Note that this guide features partners and affiliates. As always, all brands met high standards for sustainability and are brands we love — and that we think you’ll love too.
1. Anact
Anact’s versatile, eco-friendly towels are made from an all-natural blend of 55% hemp and 45% organic cotton, and are also completely dye-free.

These durable towels are absorbent and fast drying, while preventing the growth of mildew, proving that sustainability doesn’t have to come at the cost of functionality.
But Anact is more than a sustainable towel brand — this company is on a mission to disrupt the textile industry. They do this by taking responsibility for the end-of-life of the products they sell, by advocating for local manufacturing, and by helping create jobs for US farmers to grow hemp. Anact also partners with changemakers to push for legislative action and to fundraise for environmental justice initiatives. and to fundraise for environmental justice initiatives.
