Straight Outta Nature: Why Fabric with TENCEL™ Lyocell is a Superstar
Mother Nature brings a lot to the table when it comes to performance. Synthetic fibers like spandex, polyester and nylon dominate the activewear marketplace – but plant-based fibers offer the same benefits with a fraction of the environmental costs. Plus, nothing beats the feeling of these fibers on your skin. Here's why we love TENCEL™ Lyocell.
How TENCEL™ is made
- Made from wood pulp that comes from sustainably managed forests
- Requires less energy, water, and chemicals to grow than conventional cotton
- Processed with nontoxic solvents in a closed-loop system where 99% of water and solvents are recovered and reused
- Certified OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, ensuring rigorous testing and auditing to ensure lowest environmental impact
How Our TENCEL Styles Get to You
- In a reusable shipper (learn more about our LimeLoop shippers)
- Or in FSC-Certified paper packaging (learn more about Vela bags)
- *If you get your clothes in one of our polybags, know that we're breaking up with plastic by 2026 (because we're always trying to do better).

- Super soft and cool on your skin
