What Landau ProFlex Women's Scrub Skirt is made of, ingredients and materials
This skirt is a polyester and cotton blend, a common choice for medical and healthcare apparel because the blend balances durability, moisture-wicking, and ease of care. Polyester itself does not leach into skin or food; it is a stable synthetic polymer. The cotton component adds breathability and comfort. Neither fiber is known to off-gas volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at room temperature or during normal wear, though polyester can release trace compounds if exposed to prolonged high heat (well above typical laundry cycles).
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 and cotton blends may be colored with azo dyes, which are common in textile manufacturing. No specific testing or recalls for Landau scrubs on azo dye content are on record. Azo dyes are not known to leach into skin under normal wear conditions.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
No formaldehyde-release finishes (such as wrinkle-resist or antimicrobial coatings) are documented on this product. Standard polyester-cotton scrubs are typically not treated with formaldehyde-based resins.
Source, ATSDR ↗Antimony in polyester
Antimony oxide is used as a catalyst in polyester synthesis. Residual antimony can remain in finished polyester but is not bioavailable during normal wear or skin contact; migration to skin is not documented as a concern for apparel.
Flame retardants
Healthcare scrubs are not typically treated with flame retardants, and no such treatment is mentioned or documented for this Landau product.
Source, EPA ↗VOC off-gassing
Polyester-cotton blends do not off-gas at room temperature or during normal wear. Industrial dyeing and finishing may involve volatile solvents, but these do not persist in dried, finished fabric.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Landau is a healthcare apparel brand with no publicly documented PFAS disclosures, certifications (such as OEKO-TEX or bluesign), or major chemical safety controversies on record. The brand does not appear to have published material safety or restricted substance lists. Standard industry practice for scrub wear is minimal disclosure; absence of a formal stance does not indicate a compliance gap, only that transparency is not a marketed differentiator.
How it compares in its category
Polyester-cotton blends are the industry standard for healthcare scrubs due to their durability and performance. This skirt is typical in construction and material choice; it offers no claimed performance advantage over competitors (e.g., moisture management, antimicrobial, wrinkle-free treatment) that would introduce additional chemical hazards. If you prioritize certified low-chemical production, brands with OEKO-TEX certification or BLUESIGN partnership offer more transparent material sourcing, though they are not common in healthcare scrub segments.
If you buy it
Wash in warm or cool water, not hot, to preserve the elastic and prevent unnecessary polymer stress; hot water does not introduce a hazard but shortens garment life. Dry on low or air dry; high heat can degrade polyester fibers and theoretically release trace volatiles (not a health concern at typical household dryer temperatures, but unnecessary). Inspect seams and elastic every 6-12 months for wear; replace when elastic loses recovery or seams fray. No special stain treatment needed beyond standard laundry practices for healthcare wear.
