🚨 WOOL IS COATED IN PLASTIC This is a huge Scam that barely anyone knows about. Smartwool. Darn Tough. Most brands. They charge a zillion dollars for "wool" "natural" clothes, but the awful truth is that they're: • Burned w/CHLORINE • Coated w/NYLON polymer (plastic) They do this to make the wool more convenient & washable, not shrink or felt like real wool is supposed to. The resulting product is nothing like natural wool. And all that's actually touching your skin is PLASTIC. This coating releases microplastics & chemicals over time, that can be inhaled & absorbed (especially by hot, sweaty feet or while working out). They don't tell you this. They just charge you a bunch of money for the "wool" & act like they're selling you a natural, premium product. There's no way to know that they're doing this unless you ask the company. Specifically, ask if the use: • "Superwashing" • or "Hercosett 25" • or apply a polymer at any stage of processing • GOTS certified organic means it's safe as well MOST companies are doing this. A small handful are not. Namely: DILLING WOOLROOM MANTECO RAWGANIQUE NUI ORGANICS SERENDIPITY HOME OF WOOL Wearing natural & nontoxic fibers is super important, especially socks. (studies show nearly 100% of socks contain BPA & other horrible chemicals that are absorbed) But MODERN WOOL is far from natural or nontoxic. It's time for this scam to be exposed.
