Your Pre-Shopper for Non-Toxic Clothing & Goods
What to wear? As with our diets, our clothing choices may find us unthinkingly doing things to our bodies that are very definitely bad for us. Like processed foods that aren’t really food, most of the clothes in our closets aren’t doing us any favors.
Although many excellent brands of non-toxic clothing sell their wares on Amazon, many, indeed most, don’t. This list is by no means inclusive, but these are companies we’ve come across that include at least a piece or two of non-toxic clothing in their product lines.
Almost every stretchy fabric has spandex in it. Bad idea. Spandex is a synthetic, petroleum-based fiber, also called elastane, and sometimes trademarked as Lycra. The word “spandex” is an anagram of “expands.” The word “elastane” comes from “elastic urethane.” Spandex is made from at least 85% polyurethane, sourced from nonrenewable crude oil or natural gas.
At Feel Good Mercantile, we do your “pre-shopping” for you on Amazon — we seek out plastic-free, sensory-friendly clothing and goods. When we find something that meets our standards, we summarize the info for you, provide helpful images, and link you to it.
