Get a Greener Closet score while you shop

I shop with LLMs these days. They’re really good at finding the kind of clothes I want, but they suck at telling me what’s in them while I’m actually browsing, switching between tabs, going back and forth.

I ran into this recently looking for kids’ clothes. I didn’t want microplastics against my kid’s skin, and I wanted something certified so I wasn’t just guessing about the materials. The models could get me to a store no problem. What they couldn’t do is sit there with me on the listing and tell me what the garment actually is, without me clicking through and doing a ton of research on every fiber and every certificate.

Greener Closet already does that work if you paste a URL. That’s the website, and it’s still the place I go when I want the full breakdown, the method, and the full database of alternatives that LLMs don’t surface. The annoying part is the loop it creates when you’re in the middle of shopping: copy the link, jump to another tab, paste, wait, go back, and by then you’ve lost which pair you were even comparing.

That’s why I built the Chrome extension. I wanted the score on the page I was already on, so I could keep scrolling and still see the health and sustainability read without bouncing out.

On these stores it shows up next to the product title on its own:

• Lululemon
• Vuori
• Patagonia
• Everlane
• Allbirds
• Pact
• Bombas
• Girlfriend Collective
• Athleta
• Tentree

If we’ve already scored the item, the badge is there in under a second. If we haven’t, it queues an analysis and fills in after about a minute, and you can keep shopping while that runs. On any other clothing site, open the popup and hit Analyze this page. Same score, one extra click.

Click the toolbar icon if you want the fiber mix and the labels for microplastics, PFAS, half-life, energy, and shedding, or follow the link through to the full product page on Greener Closet when you want the long version.

We only score what the listing discloses. Each product starts at 100, then we apply material penalties weighted by how much of each fiber is in the garment, plus a small adjustment if certification data is on the page. We don’t lab-test the piece, and the score isn’t medical advice. If the brand doesn’t list the fibers, we can’t invent them. The method is in How we score clothing.

I sleep better when I can see that information before my kids wear the thing. I got tired of researching every material and every cert by hand, and now that part happens on the page, as long as the listing gives us something to work with.
