What’s Really in Our Clothes
Most clothes today are made with hidden toxic chemicals that stay in the fabric long after you buy them.
They make garments bright, wrinkle-free, or waterproof — but those same substances can irritate your skin, disrupt hormones, and pollute water when washed.
Common offenders include:
-
Formaldehyde – keeps shirts “wrinkle-free,” but can cause rashes and allergies.
-
PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”) – make jackets and leggings water-resistant but never break down in nature.
-
Phthalates – found in rubbery logos and prints; may affect hormones and fertility.
-
Azo dyes – create vivid colors but can turn into cancer-causing compounds.
-
Heavy metals like lead and cadmium – used in cheap dyes and trims; toxic even at low levels.
If you wouldn’t eat it, why wear it on your skin?
How These Chemicals Affect You
Your skin is your body’s largest organ — and clothing touches it all day.
When fabrics contain toxins, they can cause skin irritation, headaches, or fatigue.
Children are especially at risk because their skin is thinner and absorbs more.
Over time, these chemicals can build up in our bodies and the environment, creating invisible harm we can’t see.
The Pollution We Don’t See
Every wash cycle releases microfibers and chemical residues into our water.
That “fresh laundry” scent? It often comes from volatile compounds that drift into the air.
The shirt you wash today could end up in your drinking water tomorrow.
The Trust Gap in Fashion
Clothing labels tell us about the fabric — cotton, polyester, wool — but never the chemical finishes or dyes used.
We’d never accept hidden ingredients in our food, so why accept them in our wardrobes?
This is the trust gap Clean Wear exists to close.
