most things sold as silky are polyester, a plastic fiber that traps heat against the skin. real silk is a natural protein fiber that breathes and regulates temperature. every piece here is scored by toxome for its real fiber content, so you can tell genuine silk from a synthetic imitation.
Silk is a natural protein fiber spun by silkworms, free of the petroleum-based plastics in polyester and nylon. It breathes, regulates temperature, and carries none of the microplastic shedding of synthetic 'silky' fabrics. Toxome scores each piece so you can confirm it is real silk.
Check the composition label: real silk lists 'silk,' while imitations list polyester, nylon, or 'satin' with no fiber named. Toxome reads the label for you and scores the garment by what it is actually made of.
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.
