Lululemon Align High-Rise Pant
Summary
Lululemon Align High-Rise Pant scores 15/100. Lululemon's signature buttery-soft legging is 100% synthetic — 81% nylon and 19% Lycra Elastane with zero natural fiber content. Nylon is a petroleum-derived polyamide that sheds microplastic fibers during washing and wear. Lycra Elastane is a synthetic polyurethane stretch fiber that contributes additional microplastic leaching confirmed through skin contact — especially during exercise when sweating increases chemical absorption. Full lower-body coverage maximizes skin-to-synthetic exposure. No organic or sustainable certifications.
