Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Azo dyes in nylon dyeing, Spandex degradation and microplastic release and Dye bleeding and transfer onto skin on the Alo Yoga and not on the Girlfriend Collective.
  • We flag Azo dyes and heavy metal dye contaminants and Microplastics shedding during wash on the Girlfriend Collective and not on the Alo Yoga.
  • The Alo Yoga is Nylon/spandex blend, no disclosed coating where the Girlfriend Collective is nylon/spandex blend, no disclosed coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.

Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
