What Cherokee Workwear Scrub Top WW620 is made of, ingredients and materials
This scrub top is 65% polyester and 35% cotton, a common blend in medical workwear chosen for durability and easy care. Polyester contributes wrinkle resistance and shape retention; cotton provides breathability and comfort. The blend itself does not inherently require chemical finishing to achieve its performance, though some dyes and minor treatments may be present. No coatings, waterproof treatments, or antimicrobial finishes are named in the product description, reducing exposure vectors for problematic additives.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Azo dyes
Polyester-cotton blends typically employ reactive or disperse dyes; azo dyes are not prohibited but may be present in darker colors. No testing on this specific product is on record. Standard laundering does not mobilize dye residues in well-finished garments.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
Medical scrubs are often finished with formaldehyde-based resin to reduce wrinkles. No finishing treatment is explicitly named for this model. If present, levels are typically low and dissipate significantly after first wash; established risk is minimal in completed garments.
Source, ATSDR ↗Microfiber shedding (synthetic fiber fragmentation)
Polyester garments shed microfibers during washing, a documented environmental and potential ingestion pathway. No hazard to the wearer is established, but laundering in cold water and using a microfiber-catch filter bag reduces shedding volume.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Antimony in polyester
Antimony oxide is used as a catalyst in polyester synthesis but remains bound in the polymer matrix and does not leach during normal wear or washing. No hazard is on record for consumer exposure from finished polyester textiles.
Flame retardants
Scrub tops are not subject to flammability regulations and this product carries no flame-retardant claim. No flame retardants are expected or named.

The brand's record and disclosure
Cherokee is a subsidiary of Koi Wellness, a major medical apparel manufacturer, but maintains no publicly documented chemical disclosure policy or third-party certifications (e.g., OEKO-TEX, GOTS). The brand has not issued recalls or faced documented chemical hazard controversies related to scrub tops in recent years. No independent testing data for this specific style is on record. Brand silence on chemical inputs is typical for mid-market workwear, not distinctive.
How it compares in its category
Medical scrubs in this price tier rarely undergo independent certification. This product is materially and chemically unremarkable compared to other Cherokee and competitor offerings (Dickies, Landau, Grey's Anatomy). Cotton-polyester blends are standard and carry lower chemical risk than 100% polyester or garments with spandex, antimicrobial coatings, or flame retardants. No performance claims (moisture-wicking finishes, stain resistance) that would suggest applied chemical treatments.
If you buy it
Wash in warm water (not hot) before first wear to remove residual dyes and finishes. Launder with standard detergent; no special products needed. Check seams and stitching integrity after 20-30 washes as wear points; replacement is typically recommended after 50-75 washes in clinical settings. Air dry or low heat to extend polyester longevity and avoid potential degradation of fiber structure.
