How Toxic Dyes in Yoga & Activewear Are Making Us Sick - And Why Wellicious Is Different

Yoga and activewear are designed to help us feel good, stay active, and connect with our bodies. But what if the clothes we wear to support our health are actually harming us? The reality is that many conventional activewear brands use toxic dyes and synthetic chemicals that pose serious health risks. At Wellicious, we are committed to changing this by creating non-toxic activewear that is safe for both people and the planet.

The Hidden Dangers of Toxic Dyes in Activewear

Most conventional yoga & activewear is made using synthetic dyes, which often contain heavy metals, formaldehyde, and azo compounds. These substances don't just stay in the fabric - they can leach onto our skin, especially when we sweat. Here's why that's a problem:

Skin Irritation & Allergies - Many people experience rashes, itching, or redness from contact with toxic dyes.

Hormone Disruption - Some dyes contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that interfere with our body's natural hormone balance.

Carcinogenic Risks - “ Studies have linked certain azo dyes and heavy metals in clothing to long-term health risks, including cancer.

Environmental Pollution - “ The dyeing process releases hazardous chemicals into waterways, harming ecosystems and contaminating drinking water sources.
