About SkipSynthetic

We read clothing labels so you don't have to — the real composition, not the marketing headline.

Why this exists

Try to buy a plain T-shirt without plastic in it. The product title says “100% cotton”; the fine print says the collar ribbing has elastane, the stitching is polyester, and the “soft brushed interior” is acrylic. Synthetic fibers now make up roughly two-thirds of global fiber production, and labels are written to make that hard to notice.

SkipSynthetic exists for people who want to wear cotton, linen, wool, and silk — actual fibers from plants and animals — and don't want to spend twenty minutes per garment finding out whether they really are.

How it works

• We pull product data straight from retailers — the same listings they publish for shopping engines, including each product's stated material composition.
• We read every composition — body fabric, trims, linings, fills — with strict automated checks, and anything ambiguous gets a second, closer look rather than a guess.
• We tier each garment honestly — Pure, Body-pure, Natural-dominant, or Excluded — based on what it's actually made of. When we can't tell, we leave it out.

What money can't buy here

• Tiers can't be bought. A garment's tier comes from its fiber composition and nothing else. There is no way for a brand to pay for a better tier.
• Commissions don't affect ranking. We don't sort or filter by what earns us more.
• Exclusion is the default. If a composition can't be verified, the garment stays out — even when listing it would earn us more.

For brands & retailers

If you make clothing from natural fibers and want it listed here, we'd like to hear from you. We list products through affiliate-network product feeds (Awin), so the fastest path is approving our publisher application — your qualifying products are then picked up automatically. The same honest tiering applies to everyone: we'll show your 100% linen shirt proudly and exclude your poly-blend one.
