About

A quarter-zip pullover in a soft pebble, built from 65% TENCEL lyocell and 28% SeaCell. Both are the same closed-loop fiber under two names. The 7% elastane is what holds the shape and is also what keeps this off the top tier.

Materials

65% TENCEL Lyocell, 28% Lyocell (SEACELL), 7% elastane.

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.

SeaCell™scored as SeaCell

Lyocell with ground Icelandic seaweed mixed in before spinning. It scores well because it is lyocell, made in the closed loop that recaptures over 99 percent of a non-toxic solvent.

Accurate, buys nothing
TENCEL™ Lyocellscored as lyocell

The spelled-out TENCEL name guarantees the closed-loop process: the solvent is non-toxic and over 99 percent of it is captured and reused instead of discharged. It is the cleanest regenerated fiber we score.

It covers the fiber, not the finished piece. Dyes and wrinkle-proof coatings go on after spinning, and that is where formaldehyde shows up. Look for OEKO-TEX on the garment too.

Backed by something

what it is made of

The Seacell Tencel Quarter Zip Pullover is 65% tencel, 28% seacell, 7% spandex. Tencel is a clean fiber regenerated from wood in a closed loop that reuses its solvent. Seacell is lyocell with ground seaweed in it; clean as lyocell, with a skin claim nobody has proven. That composition is what Toxome scores, and it earns 75 out of 100 on the fiber scale, where 100 is cleanest.

FAQ

What is the Seacell Tencel Quarter Zip Pullover made of?

It is 65% tencel, blended with 28% seacell and 7% spandex.

Is tencel safe to wear?

Tencel is a clean fiber regenerated from wood in a closed loop that reuses its solvent. 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.
