Core Baby Tee
Lower-concern choice; plain organic cotton with no water-resistance claims means minimal PFAS risk.
The Core Baby Tee is primarily organic cotton with OEKO-TEX certification, which excludes many problematic chemicals including some PFAS. Organic Basics does not disclose PFAS-specific testing or claims, but this product has no water-repellent, stain-resistant, or nonstick coatings that typically introduce PFAS.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 78% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
