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.

Recycled polyesterscored as recycled polyester

Recycled scores worse than virgin polyester on wearer health, not better. Bottle-stock feedstock carries contaminants that virgin resin does not, including BPA.

It is a genuine win for waste and a loss for your skin. Those are two different questions, and only one of them is what this score measures.

FAQ

What is the Women's Cord Fjord Jacket made of?

It is 71% organic cotton, blended with 21% cotton and 8% recycled polyester.

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.
