your skin absorbs more than you think

Especially during exercise, when your skin heats up, circulation increases, and sweat builds. Sweat can pull chemical residues out of clothes and onto your skin.

Your workout is exactly when your body is most vulnerable to what it's wearing.

Nearly 70% of all clothing is now made from synthetic plastic fibers (polyester, acrylic, nylon) treated with toxic dyes, chemical fixatives, and PFAS coatings. Conventional textile processing can involve azo dyes that release carcinogenic amines, heavy metals like chromium and cadmium, and chemicals such as phthalates and APEOs that are known endocrine disruptors — compounds that interfere with the body's hormonal system, linked to thyroid disruption, reproductive harm, and increased cancer risk. 

These chemicals don't just damage the local waterways where they're used. They can remain in finished garments, sitting against your skin every time you wear them.

As a brand founded by scientists, we took the research seriously. GOTS certification prohibits hazardous dyes and chemical inputs classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic, reproductive-toxic, or endocrine-disrupting. Every single PlantTec™ garment meets this standard. Independently verified, not self-reported. 

Victoria's doctorate in cancer biology made this the founding principle of the line. And it's still an absolute, non-negotiable.

Most activewear wraps you up in cheap plastic.

Petroleum fibers, toxic dyes, nasty fixatives, PFAS coatings.

Your workout gear shouldn't be 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

So we built something better. 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯.

worn. sweated. 𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘥.

Do your boobs a favor and buy it. I have sensitive skin and bras are annoying. This is 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘱. I went back and bought it in almost every color. I live in this top now.

— ERIN

After suffering from allergic reactions from cheap leggings, I decided to give these a try. Game changer!!!! They breathe, they're soft, and even being cotton they perform.

— BEVERLY C.

I needed a legging that would be safe on my skin and good for performance. I do high intensity workouts and these are the best cotton leggings I can find that do well in the gym.

— ALI

After learning PFAS and glyphosate can be found in conventional and synthetic clothing, I have been striving to switch my closet over to all natural materials. I am in love with the buttery soft texture that is far superior to most other brands I have tried.

— SAM T.

I've always hated activewear. The way it clings to my skin and makes me feel was never worth it. But these shorts are amazing — all the benefits of workout style with none of the plastic feel.

SUSTAINABLE ACTIVEWEAR, FROM START TO FINISH

look at you, making good choices.

gives back

Every purchase funds conservation. Forests, oceans, climate — you choose. Because giving back should feel personal, not passive.

carbon neutral

We give it 115%. Literally. We measure our full carbon footprint and offset every single pound — plus 15% on top. Always the overachievers.

ethical factories

Fair Trade and GOTS certified, audited by independent organizations with no stake in the outcome. We didn't take just anyone's word for it.

good wages

Not just legal minimums. Every factory we work with is Fair Trade certified and independently audited. Safe conditions, fair pay, no excuses.

happily vegan

No animal byproducts. Organic farming means no chemical runoff and no harm to the wildlife sharing the land our cotton grows on.

organic cotton

No synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, just super soft, GOTS certified organic cotton. Better for the land. Better for your skin. Better, full stop.

nontoxic dyes

Conventional dyes can contain carcinogens — and your skin can absorb what it touches. GOTS-certified dyes means clean color, nothing hidden.

solar-powered

Our factory runs on majority solar energy. Lower emissions built into production from the start. Not an offset. Infrastructure.

clean water

Conventional textile dyeing can turn local rivers the color of dye in season. Not ours. Our factory recycles production water on-site.

plant packaging

Packaging made from plants, not petroleum. Shipping bags are compostable + recyclable. Product bags are FSC-certified wood fiber, not poly-bags.
