Healthy Fabrics Good for you, Good for the planet
Why does BPA Free matter?
BPA, also known as bisphenol A, is an industrial chemical often found in polycarbonate plastics, used to store food and beverages, and epoxy resins, which often coat the insides of metals like food cans. Currently, there is much concern regarding the safety of BPA and its potential negative health effects. Losano is proud to declare all of our products are BPA free.
Why does PFAS FREE Matter?
PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a large group of manufactured substances that do not occur naturally in the environment and are resistant to heat, water, and oil. PFAS have been used in a range of industrial and everyday consumer products. Due to the fact that PFAS have been widely used since the 1940s, and that they are nearly indestructible, PFAS have been found both in the environment and in blood samples of people tested. Losano is proud to state all our products are PFAS free.

Why OUR FABRICS matter!
We only select the best of the best of fabrics. They need to be healthy while being the best quality in the market. This means we can only select 1% of the fabrics out there to achieve our goals. We strive to use only the best quality recycled or natural fabrics with the lowest possible environmental impact while creating our garments. We put great care into selecting fabrics that are actually good for you and the planet, and don’t just sound like it. Our garments are BPA and PFAS free, incredibly soft and luxurious and made from 97% sustainable materials.
WHY CHOOSE SUSTAINABLE?
Sustainability is at the core of our planet. The fashion industry alone is currently responsible for over 10% of humanity’s carbon emissions, and at our current trajectory, this could jump to over 26% by 2050. Additionally, with the rise of low-quality fast fashion, a garbage truck worth of clothing is either thrown away or burned every second. (GENeva, 2021) By investing in creating high quality, long-lasting garments with minimal impact on the environment, we hope to inspire the rest of the fashion world to follow suit.
MADE IN LOS ANGELES
Manufacturing in Los Angeles means that we get to invest in our local communities to create jobs, all while ensuring the highest quality garments and cutting our carbon footprint.
PACKAGING/RETURNS
We are proud that all our packaging is made right here in the US, from 100% recycled and recyclable materials. We have also partnered with Happy Returns, which utilizes aggregate shipping to help cut the environmental cost associated with returns.
WATER BOTTLES = LEGGINGS
When our recycled fabric is made, water bottles and other PET containers are collected, cleaned, and cut up into itty bitty pieces. Those pieces are then melted down into resin that is heated and stretched to become fibers, which make up the yarn used to knit the fabrics we know and love!
