Verified · Compliant · Trusted
What's in your fabric? For the first time, you can prove it — automatically, at the point of every transaction.
The Problem
In the United States there is no mandatory chemical disclosure, no health-grade screening, and no supply chain traceability standard for textiles. A brand can sell a garment treated with PFAS compounds or heavy metals with zero legal obligation to disclose it. The science has known about these risks for years. The infrastructure to do something about it has never existed.
"The regulation mandates disclosure — but no standardized verification methodology exists in the EU or the US. The compliance obligation exists on both sides of the Atlantic. The infrastructure does not exist on either side."
The Solution
We apply health-grade chemical analysis to fashion materials — the same scientific rigor used in biomedical research, now applied to what goes onto the body through clothing. Every material on our platform is independently verified for chemical safety and regulatory compliance, automatically.
Verification Framework
OKO's verification framework meets brands and suppliers where they are — from foundational documentation through the highest standard of scientific analysis available. Every tier builds on the last. Every verified material makes the platform stronger.
Why Now
Three converging forces are making chemical transparency in fashion non-optional. The question is no longer whether the industry will be held accountable — it's whether brands will be ready when it happens.
The Founder
I spent 15 years at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center studying how chemical exposure and metabolic dysregulation drive disease at the molecular level. When I started researching what's in the clothes we wear every day, I discovered something that stopped me cold — there is no mandatory verification process for any of it. Not in the US. Not anywhere.
OKO is the infrastructure I built because it didn't exist. The same rigor applied to what goes into a patient's body, now applied to what goes onto every body through clothing.
Founding Cohort · Spring 2026
Ten brands. Ten supplier listings. The first verified materials in OKO's database. Founding members receive permanent OKO Founding status and rates that will never be available again.
