For parents, sensitive skin, and anyone done trusting labels.
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.

Label claims
Verified
The label says 100% silk. Independent testing found 82% silk and 18% polyester. With Lynen, you can see the difference.
We go beyond the label
How does Lynen work?
What we can’t do yet
We can’t test every garment yet. Each result is a lab job Lynen pays for, so coverage grows one garment at a time. When we haven’t checked something, we say so.
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.
Be the friend who can say what a shirt is made of.
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 the label never mentions
A label has to list the fibers. It doesn’t have to list the finishes.
A sweater that pills into fuzz balls after three washes
No label tells you how a fabric will wear.
A “100% cotton” tag on a shirt that’s part polyester
In a 2019 study of discarded clothes, 31% of garments that tested at about 65% cotton were labeled 95% cotton or more.
Pajamas your child wears all night, bought on the tag’s word
No rule says the fabric has to be tested before it is sold.
Lynen helps you know before you buy.
Why Lynen exists
“I kept asking a simple question in stores: Is this $55 shirt really 100% cotton? The answers were surprisingly difficult to find.”
Start with the research. No account needed.
