Where these two actually differ
- We flag Azo dyes and azo metabolites and Heavy metals in synthetic dyes (lead, cadmium, chromium) on the Cotton On and not on the crop shop.
- We flag Formaldehyde resins (finish or resin cross-linking), Azo dyes and heavy metal mordants in greige or dyed yarn and Antimony in polyester (if cotton-blend) on the crop shop and not on the Cotton On.
- The Cotton On is cotton where the crop shop is Cotton or cotton-blend fabric, plain weave, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric: 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 →
