What are your clothes doing to your skin?

Her daughter had rashes for months, but every test came back clear. In this episode, I sit down with Bhavika Thadani, founder of Priyankara, a slow-fashion label built on organic cotton, herbal dyes, and artisan craftsmanship. Bhavika worked as a personal trainer in Bombay, then spent more than a decade as a kindergarten teacher in Dubai. Everything changed one afternoon when she opened her washing machine and smelled petroleum on a brand-new top. We talk about what your skin absorbs when your pores open in 40-degree heat, a burn test you can do at home with a lighter, why herbally dyed fabric never holds one perfectly clear color, and how she spent two and a half years searching for a GOTS-certified unit after seeing a vendor at a Delhi fabric fair demonstrate the entire organic process without a single certificate. We also discuss the honest limits of it all. Her own wardrobe isn’t fully organic, and she’ll explain why that’s fine. Watch the full conversation and see what you would change first. #theecoloop #theecosheroespodcast #sustainableliving #organiccotton #herbaldyes #slowfashion #greenwashing --------------- Explore Priyankara clothes here, Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/priyankara.online/ Website - https://www.priyankara.online/ ---------------- Sustainable living makes life healthy, wealthy, and happy!
