what it is made of

The Active Merino Liner Short is 70% organic cotton, 30% merino wool. Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, a soft, breathable everyday plant fiber. Merino wool is fine enough to feel soft, regulates temperature without synthetic finishes. That composition is what Toxome scores, and it earns 91 out of 100 on the fiber scale, where 100 is cleanest. This piece carries GOTS, RWS, which cover how the fiber was grown and processed, not just what it is.

FAQ

What is the Active Merino Liner Short made of?

It is 70% organic cotton, blended with 30% merino wool.

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.
