The The Forge Gym Tee is 55% hemp, 45% organic cotton. Hemp is a durable plant fiber grown with little water and no need for pesticides. Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, a soft, breathable everyday plant fiber. That composition is what Toxome scores, and it earns 93 out of 100 on the fiber scale, where 100 is cleanest. This piece carries OEKO-TEX Standard 100, which covers how the fiber was grown and processed, not just what it is.
It is 55% hemp, blended with 45% organic cotton.
Hemp is a durable plant fiber grown with little water and no need for pesticides. 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.
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.
