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.

LYCRA®scored as elastane

A brand name for ordinary elastane. It signals a quality tier for stretch and recovery, which is a performance promise, not a chemical one.

We score it exactly as elastane, because that is what it is. Nothing about the Lycra name tells you what is left in the fiber.

Accurate, buys nothing

what it is made of

The Lakeside CPO is 98% organic cotton, 2% elastane. Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, a soft, breathable everyday plant fiber. Elastane is the stretch plastic blended into almost everything, identical to spandex. That composition is what Toxome scores, and it earns 87 out of 100 on the fiber scale, where 100 is cleanest.

FAQ

What is the Lakeside CPO made of?

It is 98% organic cotton, blended with 2% elastane.

Is organic cotton safe to wear?

Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, a soft, breathable everyday plant fiber. 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.
