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 Splits59.
  • We flag Formaldehyde-resin finishing agents, Azo dyes and heavy metal dye contamination, Microplastic shedding from synthetic fibers and Residual manufacturing chemicals and dyes on the Splits59 and not on the Cotton On.
  • The Cotton On is cotton where the Splits59 is nylon/spandex blend (Airweight fabric), 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 →
