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.

Bambooscored as viscose

Bamboo fabric is almost always viscose. The plant is turned into pulp and chemically re-spun, so what reaches you is the same fiber as rayon, and we score it identically.

The FTC requires it be labeled rayon for exactly this reason. Soft bamboo sheets are not a natural fiber, whatever the tag says.

Certifications

what it is made of

The Essentials Organic Pillowcase is 50% silk, 50% bamboo. Silk is a natural protein fiber that breathes and regulates temperature on its own. Bamboo is almost always generic viscose in disguise; the plant is clean, the processing isn't. That composition is what Toxome scores, and it earns 82 out of 100 on the fiber scale, where 100 is cleanest. This piece carries GOTS, which covers how the fiber was grown and processed, not just what it is.

FAQ

What is the Essentials Organic Pillowcase made of?

It is 50% silk, blended with 50% bamboo.

Is silk safe to wear?

Silk is a natural protein fiber that breathes and regulates temperature on its own. 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.
