This fiber contains fifteen types of amino acid extracts that helps in
nourishment of the skin and makes it healthier.
It contains natural anti-bacterial elements and has a pH similar to that of
human skin. It biodegrades and is renewable as well.
It helps to absorb moisture since it is hygroscopic and has vertical fibers
with regular conduits providing ample space for the moisture to pass from
fiber to fiber.
It is most comfortable, excellent water transportation and air permeability.
It is also more healthy, light, soft and colourful. It’s being resistant to
fungus, insects and aging.
