a top sits against your skin all day, so the fiber matters. conventional cotton is one of the most pesticide-heavy crops, and many 'cotton' tops are cut with polyester to lower the price. every top here is organic cotton, grown without synthetic pesticides, and scored by toxome for its real fiber content.
Organic cotton is grown without the synthetic pesticides and fertilizers used on conventional cotton, one of the most chemically treated crops in the world. The finished fiber is the same soft, breathable cotton, grown in a way that keeps those chemicals off the field and off your skin.
Pure cotton is a natural, breathable fiber. The catch is that many 'cotton' tops are blended with polyester, and conventional cotton is grown with heavy pesticides. Toxome scores each top by fiber content so you can choose organic cotton without the plastic blend.
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.
