6 Key Benefits
ZERO Petrochemicals:
-
Discover a shirt that is truly non-toxic in both fiber and dye. Over 90% of textiles are dyed with petrochemicals, some of which are known carcinogens. Not these. Our industrial dye wastewater is so clean it can be used as skincare!
Safe for Sensitive Skin:
-
FDA-cleared medical-grade fabrics, made with special seams and a design to alleviate reactions to textile chemicals, including eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, acne, and MCS.
Microbiome-Friendly:
-
Independently lab tested and proven not to harm your ‘good’ skin bacteria, vital for maintaining healthy, supple skin and a strong skin barrier.
Thermoregulating and Stink-Free:
-
Dyed with plants known for their medicinal properties and made using regenerative organic cotton. Our natural materials do not trap heat or stinky sweat molecules like synthetics do.
Ethical and Sustainable Production:
-
Regenerative cotton, herbal plant dyes, and ethical production facilities ensure this shirt is gentle on your skin, our workers, and the environment.
NO B.S.:
-
Tired of greenwashing? We challenge industry definitions of ‘sustainable’ and ‘organic’ to include your health. Doctor-approved for both sensitive skin and lowering toxin exposure.
Crafted with the most sensitive skin in mind – yours and our workers – this classic crewneck was made to be kind: to you, to those who made it, and to the planet we all share. We partnered with certified GOTS leaders in ethical and organic manufacturing to create meticulous standards that remove synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, manufacturing treatments, threads, dyes, and finishes from the crafting process, and have infused even the smallest details with care and intention, such as replacing traditional seams and itchy tags with craftsmanship that reduces irritation.
Gone are the microplastics, harmful chemical growing methods and synthetic, petrochemical dyes and treatments; this new wardrobe essential is more than apparel—it is a holistic expression of health, sustainability, and care, made from regenerative cotton, organic plants, and by a team of textile insiders all determined to create sustainable clothing that is not just ‘nontoxic’, but is supportive of your health.

What Lies Beneath
In textile, cotton (conventional and organic) is typically bleached to increase dye absorption. At AIZOME, we prefer to avoid bleach, or any harsh, toxic, or synthetic chemicals. Our dyed shirts are made from what we call Virgin Cotton; this is the beautiful, unbleached ivory shade of the regenerative organic cotton that we use.
If you look closely, you may spot tiny black specks known as 'Kitty' in Bengali, which are remnants of the cotton husk. At the core of every dyed t-shirt is an unbleached organic cotton treasure.

AIZOME is a potential medicine you can wear. What is not there is the usual toxicological profile. But on the other hand, we have the benefits of natural dyes supported by a body of evidence.
Naturopathic Doctor, Wild Oak Medicine in Santa Rosa
Dr. Chris Holder
AIZOME is unique in their approach among all textile companies I know in their commitment to cradle to grave fully organic design down to even the dyeing process. They are harnessing the known healing power of plants, and deliberately omitting anything that we know can harm your health and the environment we all live in.

There are thousands of synthetic chemicals used in textile dyeing and all of them impact the workers, the environment and us. AIZOME is bringing a completely different way of thinking to textile coloring.
Transforming Textiles, Naturally
The textile industry has a petrochemical dependence. Awareness is growing, but so is greenwashing. According to research by the European Commission, 42% of sustainability claims in the textile industry are false or misleading, due largely to a lack of regulation or enforcement.
Our mission: prove that petrochemicals are unnecessary in textiles. We're embracing innovation, robust regulation, and consumer empowerment. From seed to sheet, we've partnered with organic and ethical manufacturing experts in some of the world's most directly impacted areas — India, China, Turkey — to revive a wiser, more holistic and transparent vision for textile creation, and a steadfast commitment to natural, plant ingredients.
Fields
Conventional: Repeated crop cultivation depletes soil, leading to heavy reliance on synthetic fertilizers and exploitative labor practices.
AIZOME: Advocating regenerative farming to rejuvenate soil for robust, healthy cotton growth and fair partnership with laborers.
Raw Material Harvesting
Conventional: Pervasive use of pesticides to boost crop yields, which can be detrimental to the environment and workers and can leave residuals in fabrics.
AIZOME: Commitment to regenerative organic cotton, free from harmful synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.
Fiber Processing
Conventional: Dependence on intense chemical processes to transform materials like wood or bamboo into yarn. Even conventional (and most organic) cotton is processed using detergents, caustic soda, and bleach.
AIZOME: Focused on unbleached organic and regenerative cotton, washed only with water and bioenzymes.
Spinning/Weaving/Knitting
Conventional: Chemical treatments for enhanced strength and texture; bleaching for artificial whiteness and removing impurities.
AIZOME: Simple, clean processing with water and bio-enzymes and without synthetic chemicals, preserving the natural essence of the cotton.
Cutting and Sewing
Conventional: Often marred by opaque and exploitative labor practices.
AIZOME: Ethical collaboration with certified manufacturers, ensuring fair and safe working conditions and a living wage.
Accessories and Fastenings
Conventional: Often, clothing items come with accessories like polyester threads, plastic bands, zippers, and plastic buttons, which can compromise the integrity of eco-friendly claims.
AIZOME: We exclusively utilize 100% cotton threads for stitching and opt for natural (latex-free) rubber bands to provide elasticity.
Dyeing and Printing
Conventional: Reliance on synthetic and even toxic dyes (see: azobenzene dyes) and chemical mordants.
AIZOME: Embracing 100% plant dyes and natural mineral mordants, and avoiding any synthetic binders.
Finishing
Conventional: Use of chemicals like Formaldehyde or PFAS for artificial enhancements like antibacterial, antifungal, wrinkle and stain or water resistance.
AIZOME: Steering clear of chemical finishes, valuing the fabric and dye's natural attributes.
Distribution and Retail
Conventional: Utilization of environmentally harmful packaging and shipping materials.
AIZOME: Adoption of plastic-free, recyclable paper packaging, reducing environmental impact.

How are AIZOME’s medicinal dyes different from conventional dyes, and what herbs are used?
Almost all conventional textiles use dyes made from petrochemicals, which can be harmful to both the environment and your skin. At AIZOME, we believe there is a better way. We took inspiration from traditional plant dyeing methods, using medicinal herbs such as indigo, madder, and nutgalls to bring color and positive health effects to textiles. These plants have been traditionally used for their healing properties and are known to naturally soothe and protect the skin. Our dyes not only provide beautiful, long-lasting colors but are also are gentle on your skin and the planet.
Why is AIZOME a registered Medical Device Company with the FDA?
Millions of people experience adverse reactions to chemicals in textiles. Yet, there are no requirements for companies to track or disclose them. To address this, AIZOME registered with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ensuring our products meet Class 1 medical device standards. This means our textiles are rigorously tested for safety and efficacy, enhancing consumer trust and reducing environmental impact.
Can I machine wash AIZOME shirts?
Yes, AIZOME shirts are machine washable. The natural dyes are long-lasting and do not fade easily, ensuring the shirt retains its vibrant color over time.
What certifications do you have?
At AIZOME, we believe in far exceeding standard textile certifications. Our products comply with Class 1 medical device standards set by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), and we maintain a detailed ingredient list and adhere to the rigorous standards expected of medical device companies.
We recognize the importance of other certifications in the textile industry, such as OEKO-TEX and GOTS. We anticipate that all our products will receive OEKO-TEX and GOTS certification by 2024.
Additionally, we are evaluating becoming an official licensee as a Regenerative Organic Certified brand. Nevertheless, we already buy only cotton that is certified organic and unbleached, and for products like this shirt, we go a step further and use only certified organic regenerative cotton. Our products are also tested for skin biome friendliness, and we are exploring third-party certifications that meet our high standards. Furthermore, our tailoring processes are completed in Fair Trade certified facilities, and our suppliers hold ZDHC and GOTS certifications, ensuring the highest standards of environmental and social responsibility.
When will we introduce new products or colors?
As a small company committed to exceeding industry standards, we prioritize integrity and quality, which means carefully developing new products and colors. This process takes time, and we appreciate your patience and support. To stay informed about our latest launches, please subscribe to our newsletter.
