So, the wall was selling shirts for insanely cheap prices and I do not understand where they are making a profit.

I got a shirt which should cost 8 dollars for 2.5 and I don't know if I can just wear them without concern.

Are cheap shirts safe to wear? Idk do they use chemicals which are bad for me? They made this insanely cheap and I don't know what gives! It all says 100% cotton and its from a trusted brand but the mystery of the price still remains. I need to know before loading up on these things.

Also, bonus question, is white coloring agent more or less harmful than other colors? (Assume the most frequently used coloring agents)

It's safe to wear but it's also probably just plastics. Microplastics on skin and other long term microplastics are still not in yet so you could say it's maybe not as safe as cotton. It's the same material as more expensive stuff though so the price tag doesn't really change the safety part.
