I bought two towel sets. When the towels arrived they had a faint commercial detergent scent, and they felt like fabric softener had been applied to them. They were in clear plastic bags with a barcode (they claim their bags are biodegradable, but these bags seemed like standard issue Amazon plastic - though that's a subjective observation and I didn't scientifically test the material), and one of the bags was sliced open on one side. The lack of company information or care in packaging coupled with the hints of fragranced detergents/fabric softener chemicals made me feel a bit dubious about this purchase.I am chemically sensitive and needed some organic towels on a budget, so I took a chance with these. I previously tried to purchase regular towels from Target, but the chemical smells were so strong (despite their 'oeko-tex 100' certification) that I couldn't even be in the same room as them. So I decided to buy organic, GOTS certified, and these were much cheaper than the alternatives I found online. If the GOTS certification and all the claims are as promised, the towels are what you would expect to get at this price, for organic. They are soft, and seem appropriate for daily use. Some other reviewers mentioned that they shed lint - but to me, they seem to shed less than most towels do these days (far less than the Target towels, at least).They don't appear to be Oeko-Tex certified, which is another important certification to have if you're looking for chemical-free textiles. They should really be Oeko-Tex and GOTS certified if you want the safest option.So, in sum, these seem to be as advertised for the most part, but I would like to know more information about Magnolia's processing -they claim that they use non-toxic dyes and don't add harmful chemicals, but if that is the case I don't know why their products are not oeko-tex certified to back those claims up. The detergent-and-fabric-softener- feel when opened made me suspicious that there may be some chemical processing that is applied despite the material being grown organically. They are better than towels you would buy at Target, but if you're looking for a towel you can really trust I would probably go with a vendor online who is both Oeko-Tex and GOTS certified, and who is transparent about all the materials and chemicals that go into manufacturing their textiles.
