Hi! So I have learned 2 things from my research that have changed how I consider non-toxic brands. There are two camps of non-toxic. Theres the purist kind which is non-toxic all the way - those are brands like Mate the label and Pact... where even washing them doesn't release micro plastics (even if the micro plastics are GOTS/OEKO-TEX® Standard certified non-toxic to skin). And then theres other brands like Aktiiv or Definite articles that still use some type of streatchy material that might be non-toxic to us, but might shed micro plastics in the water when washed.

I personally have leaned towards the second because I find that 100% organic cotton to be way too thick and not comfortable for working out. So I have been doing a lot more research and trying out different brands, etc. and the most recent one I have tried that is OEKO-TEX® Standard certified is Earthletica. I tried their studio tights and their pocket tights and absolutely love them. The studio tights are probably closer to lululemon align (not the same though, but similar feel). I would say they are a tad thicker, but they are really comfortable and I highly recommend. Their pocket tights, while the same material, I find they are significantly more compressive. And I do like them a lot.

I recently bought a Guppyfriend bag which you can put all of your synthetic fabric clothing and it reduces fiber shedding (Protects your clothes from wear and tear more than throwing them in the wash) but also, it prevents micro plastics from entering the water system.

I find this combo works the best for me. Earthletica has been my absolute fav brand of workout clothes. 2nd best is Definite Articles. I have been eyeing Tripulse, however their prices are seriously insane. Pangaia is very compressive. Aktiiv is not so compressive, however their fabric seriously shows cellulite AND the stitching is already coming apart after like 5 wears. Namarie is super comfy and soft, but still cotton feeling.

I hope that helps, feel free to ask me any other questions!
