How scores are calculated
Materials (40%): How plastic-free the product is — raw materials, construction, and coatings.
Packaging (20%): Is the product packaged in plastic? Is it recyclable?
Transparency (20%): Does the brand disclose ingredients, sourcing, and manufacturing?
Durability (20%): How long does it last? Longer-lasting products reduce plastic waste over time.
This is a rating of this specific product only — not the company. Other products from this brand may score differently.

Underwear is in direct, prolonged contact with some of the body's most sensitive and absorptive skin. Synthetic fabrics release microplastics and phthalates through dermal absorption. For children, whose skin is thinner and more permeable, this exposure is particularly concerning during critical developmental years.
Why We Rated It This Way
Carter's uses primarily cotton but lacks the certifications needed to verify chemical safety. The brand has not published PFAS or phthalate testing data for their children's underwear.
