Verified fibre data

The label says 100% cotton. Is it?

When EU inspectors lab-tested garments off store shelves, 37% weren't made of what the label claimed. Lynen scans the barcode, checks the claim against verified data, and tells you what you're actually wearing.

Three steps between you and the truth

01

Scan.

Point your camera at the barcode, or tap an NFC tag. Any major retailer, from Gap to Walmart to Nordstrom.

02

See.

The verified fibre breakdown, side by side with what the label claims. When they don't match, you'll know.

03

Understand.

Members get a personal read on what that fabric means for their skin, built from verified product data and published medical research.

Checked, not guessed

Every verified record in Lynen traces back to a source: independent laboratory analysis, certification databases you can audit yourself, and testing standards used by the world's accredited labs. Our database is built to plug directly into third-party verification partners, so the answer you get is someone's tested result, never a brand's promise. And when we haven't verified something yet, we say so — then you can submit it, and we'll get to work.

Know your fabric

Short reads, two minutes each, on what's actually in your closet. No scaremongering, no jargon. Just what the research says and what to do about it.
