Consumers

Exposure to harmful chemicals in clothing can be absorbed through the skin and even bio-accumulate in our bodies.

Environment

Hazardous wastewater from factories flows into rivers, streams, and other groundwater sources, which pollutes and contaminates community drinking water.

Local Communities

Communities around the manufacturing facilities and farms are impacted through exposure to polluted drinking water as well as when chemicals enter their food chain.

Garment Workers and Farmers

The people who make our clothing and grow our cotton often suffer the most as a result of daily exposure to harmful chemicals, pesticides and herbicides.

TIPS FOR REDUCING EXPOSURE

Purchase from responsible brands.
See our “1-Pager” for recommended retailers to get started!

Look into brands with descriptions such as: "wrinkle-free," "stain resistant," and "waterproof," which use significantly more harmful chemicals. See which outdoor brands are the most toxic by visiting our Nontoxic Shopping Guide page.

Purchase clothing from the European Union (EU), California, Korea or China for their strict chemical standards and lengthy Restricted Substance List (RSL).

Wash new clothing before wearing to remove any remaining chemical residues. Replace dryer sheets with wool dryer balls.

Research the brand's sustainability practices. Check to see if a brand has a Manufacturing Restricted Substance List (MRSL) or a Restricted Substance List (RSL), ensuring that many harmful chemicals are not in the final product.

Purchase certified non-toxic apparel. The more well known certifications that exist for clean, nontoxic textiles are: "bluesign," "GOTS," "Cradle to Cradle" and "OEKO-TEX."
