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 Koral.
- We flag PFAS in moisture-wicking finish (DWR coating), Formaldehyde-releasing resins in synthetic finishing, Microplastic shedding from synthetic fiber and Coating degradation and leaching over time on the Koral and not on the Cotton On.
- The Cotton On is cotton where the Koral is Nylon blend with moisture-wicking treatment, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Cotton On is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Koral grade, at 45% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
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 →
