What the brand names mean

Trademarks on a label describe the fiber, not your exposure. Here is what each one is and what it does not cover. None of it moves the score.

TENCEL™ Modalscored as TENCEL modal

Modal made in a closed loop that recycles its chemicals and water, from checked beech wood. It scores better than unbranded modal because the process is accounted for rather than assumed.

It is still a viscose-family fiber, so making it uses carbon disulfide. That is a worker-safety story, not something that reaches your skin.

Backed by something

Certifications

what it is made of

The Pointelle Cami is 50% modal, 50% cotton. Modal is a soft wood-based fiber; clean when it's certified lenzing modal, murky when it isn't. Cotton is the soft everyday plant fiber, but conventionally grown with heavy pesticides. That composition is what Toxome scores, and it earns 81 out of 100 on the fiber scale, where 100 is cleanest. This piece carries OEKO-TEX, which covers how the fiber was grown and processed, not just what it is.

FAQ

What is the Pointelle Cami made of?

It is 50% modal, blended with 50% cotton.

Is modal safe to wear?

Modal is a soft wood-based fiber; clean when it's certified lenzing modal, murky when it isn't. Toxome rates every fiber on what it does to the body of the person wearing it, and publishes the reasoning rather than a badge. The score covers the fiber, not the dyes and finishes a mill adds later.

How does Toxome score clothing?

Toxome reads each garment's fiber composition and scores it on what that fiber does to your body, not on a brand's sustainability marketing. A higher score means a cleaner fiber. Composition is taken from what the brand publishes, so the score reflects the label rather than our opinion of it.
