What it is made of

The Alpaca Hooded Sweater, Charcoal is 87% alpaca, 11% polyamide, 2% elastane. Alpaca is no lanolin and a smooth surface, often gentler on skin than sheep wool. Polyamide is an oil-based plastic fiber that traps heat and sheds microplastics in the wash. That composition is what Toxome scores, and it earns 70 out of 100 on the fiber scale, where 100 is cleanest. This piece carries B Corp, which covers how the fiber was grown and processed, not just what it is.

FAQ

What is the Alpaca Hooded Sweater, Charcoal made of?

It is 87% alpaca, blended with 11% polyamide and 2% elastane.

Is alpaca safe to wear?

Alpaca is no lanolin and a smooth surface, often gentler on skin than sheep wool. 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.
