About

A flare-leg legging with a 31-inch inseam, cut in the same TENCEL Lyocell as the rest of the line rather than polyester, so it breathes on a long day instead of trapping heat. Roomier through the leg than a standard legging, in cocoa brown.

Materials

92% TENCEL Lyocell / 8% ROICA V550 spandex. The brand says the TENCEL fiber is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified and that its dyes are GOTS and OEKO-TEX certified; both are input-level claims, not a certificate on the finished garment.

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.

ROICA™ V550scored as elastane

The only stretch fiber carrying a Cradle to Cradle Material Health Gold certificate, which screens the full chemical inventory for carcinogens and reproductive toxicants. That aims at the real problem with spandex on skin: leftover diisocyanates from making it, which are what cause stretch-fabric rashes.

It is still polyurethane. It still sheds plastic microfibers, and the certificate does not cover shedding. Around 35 percent breaks down in 270 days under industrial composting, and Asahi Kasei says full degradation has never been verified, so treat biodegradable stretch as marketing.

Backed by something
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.

what it is made of

The Maris Flare is 92% tencel lyocell, 8% spandex. Tencel lyocell is a clean fiber regenerated from wood in a closed loop that reuses its solvent. Spandex is the stretch plastic blended into almost everything, identical to spandex. That composition is what Toxome scores, and it earns 74 out of 100 on the fiber scale, where 100 is cleanest.

FAQ

What is the Maris Flare made of?

It is 92% tencel lyocell, blended with 8% spandex.

Is tencel lyocell safe to wear?

Tencel lyocell 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.
