non-toxic merino wool

Merino wool is a natural animal fiber, free of the plastics in polyester and nylon activewear. It regulates temperature and resists odor on its own, without antimicrobial chemical treatments. Toxome scores each piece by its fiber content.

Merino fibers are much finer than regular wool, so they feel soft rather than scratchy against the skin. That fineness is why merino is used for base layers worn next to the body.

Fiber content is what touches the skin. Toxome reads each garment's composition and rates it, so the score reflects what the clothing is made of, not a brand's marketing.
