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.
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.
Viscose made under tighter rules, with the chemicals captured instead of dumped. It was the first viscose to earn the EU Ecolabel, and it is OEKO-TEX tested.
It is viscose, not lyocell, so production really does use carbon disulfide. The washed fiber that reaches your skin carries essentially none of it.
