Michel May joins us for a critical conversation about the unregulated toxic chemicals often used to dye textiles. May is the Executive Creative Director and CEO of Aizome. Aizome produces bedding––sheet sets, duvets, and blankets from regenerative cotton. The company infuses the organic cotton “with pigmented properties of medicinal plants, creating fabric that soothes irritated skin: no pesticides, no synthetics, no petrochemicals” (Aizome).
