TENCEL® - The Perfect Fiber For Sensitive Skin

TENCEL® - The Feel Good Fiber

The number of people with sensitive skin is constantly increasing. This is why increasingly higher requirements are being placed on textiles. TENCEL® is the perfect fiber for sensitive skin, because the smooth and supple fiber surface is the sheerest relief for the skin. Coarse textiles can irritate the skin and lead to itching. However, clothing with TENCEL® feels smooth and pleasantly cool on the skin.

Perfect moisture management is particularly important for the subjective well-being of the skin. The fiber cross section on the right side shows that only TENCEL® controle moisture and absorbs it evenly. Moreover TENCEL® absorbs about 50% more moisture than cotton.
