7 Best Organic Baby Bath Towels (2025)
The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.
Our team of parents has reviewed dozens of bath towels for babies and young kids — these are our favorites for soft, safe, and sustainable bath time.
Bath time is one of our favorite rituals in our children’s evening routines, and having the right towel can make all the difference. Babies’ skin is incredibly delicate, so the towels we choose matter, as those with synthetic dyes or harsh finishes can irritate sensitive skin, especially in the first few months. Because of this, we prefer organic options.
Why choose organic towels for your baby?
Choosing the right towel for our babies is about more than softness; it’s about safety and peace of mind. Newborn skin is delicate, so opting for organic cotton, bamboo, or linen can help us avoid those unnecessary exposures. Certifications like GOTS or OEKO-TEX® give us extra confidence that the towels meet strict safety and environmental standards, while naturally dyed or lightly colored options often indicate a cleaner, gentler production process.
And it’s not just about comfort. Choosing organic towels is a small but meaningful step toward a healthier planet. Supporting brands that prioritize organic farming and responsible textile practices helps reduce pesticide use, conserve water, and ensure safer working conditions for the people who make these products. It’s a little change with a significant impact — good for our babies and good for the world they’re growing up in.
Our criteria:
We update this list regularly with our emerging favorites, and all of our picks are vetted to meet the following standards:
- ORGANIC & CLEAN | Each towel is made from natural or recycled fibers, such as organic cotton, bamboo, or linen, and is certified by third parties, including GOTS, OEKO-TEX, and PFAS-free, to ensure safety.
- COMFORT | Our editors have personally tested each towel for softness, absorbency, and durability. We’ve also read hundreds of parent reviews to ensure these towels are gentle on sensitive skin while staying cozy and functional.
- ENVIRONMENT | Each brand cares for the earth, its employees, and its customers. These companies are committed to sustainable practices, ethical labor, and reducing environmental impact.

1. MagicLinen
Best For | Lightweight and quick-drying baby towel
Organic / Natural Materials | OEKO-TEX® certified linen–cotton blend
Price | $50
MagicLinen’s waffle baby towel is one of those beautifully simple essentials that quickly becomes part of your little one’s everyday routine. The linen–cotton blend feels soft and breathable, and the waffle weave offers just the right amount of texture to absorb water without weighing your baby down. It has a hood (!!) and dries quickly, too — a small detail that makes busy evenings and constant laundry feel a bit easier.
The generous 36″ x 36″ size means there’s plenty of room to wrap your baby up after a bath, and the stone-washed finish gives the towel a lived-in softness from the very first use. It’s also OEKO-TEX® certified, so you can trust that it’s free from harmful chemicals. And we have to say: the earthy tones are especially dreamy.
Editor review | “We rotate between two baby towels during the week, and our daughter clearly prefers this one. We’ve been using it since she was just a few weeks old, and I love how soft yet absorbent the fabric is. We have it in Cinnamon, and the color is absolutely gorgeous. The size is just right, too. It’s big enough for her now, but perfect for growing into over the coming months.” – Kayti Christian, Senior Content Strategist [Read more reviews]
2. Parachute
Best For | 100% organic Turkish cotton baby towels
Organic / Natural Materials | 100% GOTS-certified Turkish cotton

Bath time feels a little calmer with Parachute’s organic hooded baby towel. The cotton is soft but substantial, giving your baby a cozy wrap without feeling heavy or bulky. The oversized 46″ x 46″ square lets you tuck in tiny hands and feet, while the hood keeps their head warm and snuggly. We love that it’s GOTS- and OEKO-TEX®-certified, too. Knowing it’s free of harsh chemicals takes some of the worry out of daily routines. It washes beautifully, maintains its softness, and becomes even more comfortable over time. For evenings spent winding down after a bath, it’s simple, thoughtful, and quietly luxurious.
