Know what touches your skin.

The label is a claim. We look for the proof.

Lynen turns clothing labels, independent testing and plain-language research into a clearer answer about what your clothes are made of.

Built for everyday shoppers. Evidence shown when it exists; uncertainty shown when it doesn't.

Label claims

100% silk

Verified

81% silk
19%

The label says 100% silk. Independent testing found 81% silk and 19% polyester. With Lynen, you can see the difference.

We go beyond the label

How does Lynen work?

01

Scan

Scan the barcode on a clothing tag with your camera, or enter the code manually. Lynen works with the EAN and UPC codes found on most clothing tags.

02

See what was verified

Lynen shows you what independent testing found, next to what the label claims: what is on the fabric, how it holds up in the wash, and what it is made of. If the two don't match, you'll see exactly where they differ.

03

Learn what it means for you

Tell your virtual assistant Ly about your skin, including whether it is sensitive, reactive, or eczema-prone. Each scan includes personalized info based on verified product data and published research.

Why Lynen

Keep “fabric researcher” off your resume.

You have better things to do than investigate every piece of clothing you buy. Lynen brings the information you actually want into one place, so you can check the fabric content and understand what you're buying.

Not only do you save time, but you also save the hassle of finding out the hard way.

Garment surprise? No thanks.

Finding out after you buy isn't nearly as useful as knowing before. Garment surprise can mean:

A wrinkle-free finish that never made it onto the label

A sweater that pills into fuzz balls after three washes

A “silk” blouse that isn’t actually 100% silk

Fabric that irritates your skin

Lynen helps you know before you buy.
