In my experience cotton is cotton is cotton. Unbleached cotton has less of a flavor change for the first few puffs but the difference is not great. The thing that won’t work well is woven cotton pads. You need regular pads like Japanese’s facial cotton or cotton balls.
Koh gen Do, Muji and a number of other Organic Cotton is facial cotton.
So short answer is yes but recommendation is to get unbleached organic cotton. Standard Cotton it's advisable to boil before using so save yourself the hassle and get Koh gen Do. Koh gen Do works wonderful as wicking material.

For a several year supply for about $12, it's worth the investment. I like muji the best .
I think organic or not does not make much difference...it is just marketing ...you never know if it is really organic... I just use rayon (cellucotton) it is made from processed wood pulp, originally developed as a cotton substitute for bandages and later used for sanitary towels and paper tissues. If it is safe for bandages it is safe enough for me to use as wicking material... for 43 years I inhaled burnt wood pulp with not knowing if inside tobbaco leaves were organic or not...even if rayon wood pulp is not organic it is much safer because it is not burn but serve as wicking material. For just $15 I have enough excellent wicking cotton for my life time.

"organic cotton balls"
"very white"
"designed for facial use"
I'm sorry. Theres just too much to unpack there
I was saying what I have and its description to comment on the need for unbleached organic. I don't know if cotton needs to be bleached to be white. And I sort of doubt the possibility of anything being as organic as the people who demand organic would like. We've been polluting the world too long to have prime farm ground that has managed to go untouched.
I was at Smith's grocery store last week. They had a display of bottled water labeled organic. Maybe they meant the minute amount of flavoring, but really, Organic Water?
The short answer is you'll likely have an easier time with cotton more suited to vaping. Whether it has been bleached or not, well the cotton I got for vaping (forget where, or what, I have moved on UP to rayon these days, LOL) but it was slightly tan and in cut squares. I have a feeling it was one of the more popular options.
I know facial cotton was used in the beginning (with boiling) to reduce impurities/any traces of bleach (if they were there) so if that's what you got your hands on, and all you can get, you could probably use the search function to see how to handle them.
It may just be easier in the long run to get cotton "designed' or at least "marketed" so to speak for vaping for the cost of a little bit more. If this is all you have, you could probably use it with the caveat of making sure you know how to handle it.
With that said, I use Sally's Rayon Cellucotton and it's fine. It isn't organic, but it doesn't seem to contain any impurities and so really, what matters most (whatever you use) is that it's not full of impurities or horrible things. I very much doubt that you'll come to harm if you use the cotton you have on hand, (if you make sure to follow--whatever process I don't know much about because I was not around in the cotton ball days). But, I do believe it would be overall easier to just get some cotton designed for vaping, unless you simply can't (IDK your location and etc.)
Best of luck with whatever you wind up gong with.
