Best sustainable t-shirts for those with sensitive skin

 

For those with sensitive skin, there’s nothing worse than a scratchy t-shirt. It can irritate the skin, cause discomfort at night, and can trigger skin conditions such as eczema due to allergic reactions. Other conditions such as polyester allergy can react with t-shirt material, meaning that it can be uncomfortable to wear everyday clothes if you’re not clothing.

 

What is the best clothing for sensitive skin?

 

The best clothing for sensitive skin is clothing that’s made from natural materials. Organic cotton is the best option, as it is grown without toxic pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. The way the material is manufactured means the clothing will be kind to your skin, leaving it cooler at night, and far less itchy overall.  For knitwear, organic knitwear is also the better option, as traditional manufacturing methods to make knitwear means the wool will be scratchy on your skin. Merino wool offers a soft, luxurious feel that’s warm and comfortable without causing irritation.  

Luckily, there are plenty of options out there that can offer relief to sensitive skin, with soft, nourishing fibres that leave your skin feeling far less itchy. As a rule of thumb, when looking for clothing that’s good for sensitive skin, look for all-natural materials. As well as organic cotton, bamboo is another well known natural fibre that’ll work well. Remove any labels or tags that could rub against your skin, too.

Fabrics to avoid if you have sensitive skin

 

Reactions from clothing can be caused by clothing finished with formaldehyde, which can be found in dyes, glues, chemical additives and tanning agents.  Clothing to avoid includes polyester, latex, and any synthetic materials. Rayon, nylon, rubber, polyester and acrylic are other materials that are best to avoid. Look for certifications on your clothing such as Standard 100 OEKO- TEX, which ensures the company hasn’t used any toxic pesticides or synthetic fertilizers to make the fabric.
