What the label won’t tell you

The questions sensitive skin actually asks, answered

0 of 0 styles scanned, no sampling 95% plant · 5% synthetic ✓ read from the live product feed, not the marketing page
Are there hidden chemicals against my skin?

0 of 0 styles scanned: zero PFAS, zero formaldehyde.

Is "sustainable" just greenwashing?

“Eco” and “green” have no legal meaning, and thousands of unverified claims flood the market. We scanned 0 styles from the store’s own product feed and publish a score only at full coverage. We read certificates, not adjectives.

Is "100% cotton"
actually
100% cotton?

Most “cotton” underwear hides elastane or spandex in the trims. We read the stated fibres on 0 of 0 styles, thread by thread: 95% plant, 5% synthetic.

5%
Will the elastic bring me out in a rash?

Latex and rubber waistbands are a top trigger for contact eczema. Elastic check across the catalogue: Elastane. Spandex, flagged red in the Skin-Safe section above.

Where's it really made,
and by whom?
Named farm and factory
GOTS chain of custodyTraceable back to the cotton

Traceability on record: see ledger. We publish the full sourcing chain and the honest red flags, including where sources conflict.

Am I shedding microplastics onto my body?

Synthetic underwear sheds plastic fibres onto your skin and into the water with every single wash. Mighty Good Basics is 5% synthetic, so yes. These styles shed. Wash cool, use a guppy bag, and favour the plant-fibre options in the range.

Sources: consumer research on formaldehyde in easy-care fabrics (~9% of people react), PFAS in water- and stain-resistant finishes, and hypoallergenic underwear for eczema and contact dermatitis.
