Life-long skin care

Launch of a new anti-aging

implies a continuous skin care by large-scale transfer of vitamin E acetate (α-tocopheryl acetate) on human skin.
Vitamin E has special properties:
- It is use to capture free radicals
- Use to repair and to regenerate damaged skin surface
- To support the moisture regulation of the human skin.
Release of vitamin E turns into a life-long effect.
Textiles, which have a close contact to the body, getting an unknown importance for care and well-being.
Other active substances such as natural oils or medicines can be incorporated into the cellulosic structure besides vitamin E.

Materials with contact to human skin have to be declared regard to cell damage or growth.
In-vitro cytotoxicity of DL-tocopherol fibres according to DIN 10993-5.
Human HaCa-T-Keratinocyte cell line with complete epidermal differentiation capacity.

->Lyocell staple fibers show no cytotoxicity meaning improved proliferation of human cells can be expected.

After 100 washing cycles at 60°C even 60 % of the initial tocopherol content can be detected.
Reactive dyeing lowers the content to ca. 70 %, after 100 washing cycles of dyed yarn contains ca. 40 % of initial tocopherol.
