About

A scoop-neck sports bra in LENZING ECOVERO rather than the polyester nearly every sports bra is made of, so it breathes instead of trapping sweat against your skin. Squared straps, smooth seams, warm tiramisu brown.

Materials

94% LENZING ECOVERO / 6% Recycled Lycra. Yarn is OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified; fiber is FSC and PEFC certified.

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.

LENZING™ ECOVERO™scored as certified viscose

Viscose made under tighter rules, with the chemicals captured instead of dumped. It was the first viscose to earn the EU Ecolabel, and it is OEKO-TEX tested.

It is viscose, not lyocell, so production really does use carbon disulfide. The washed fiber that reaches your skin carries essentially none of it.

Backed by something
LYCRA®scored as elastane

A brand name for ordinary elastane. It signals a quality tier for stretch and recovery, which is a performance promise, not a chemical one.

We score it exactly as elastane, because that is what it is. Nothing about the Lycra name tells you what is left in the fiber.

Accurate, buys nothing

what it is made of

The Axis Sports Bra is 94% ecovero, 6% spandex. Ecovero is a certified, traceable viscose made with far lower emissions than the generic kind. Spandex is the stretch plastic blended into almost everything, identical to spandex. That composition is what Toxome scores, and it earns 70 out of 100 on the fiber scale, where 100 is cleanest. This piece carries OEKO-TEX Standard 100, FSC, PEFC, which cover how the fiber was grown and processed, not just what it is.

FAQ

What is the Axis Sports Bra made of?

It is 94% ecovero, blended with 6% spandex.

Is ecovero safe to wear?

Ecovero is a certified, traceable viscose made with far lower emissions than the generic kind. 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.
