Active textiles for an active life

ACTIVE TEXTILES means clothes that provide care, freshness, comfort and protection for your skin. Imagine that every time you put on your favorite shirt it actually takes care of you the way you take care of it. The principle is simple enough: build active ingredients into the fabric of clothing so that with the natural movement of your body, your skin is slowly freshened and revitalized. That's only one example of the new, active generation of functional clothes - and you can read about all the rest on this site. At the centre of this innovation are five key ingredient brands from Cognis: Skintex®, Cyclofresh®, Belfasun™, Securlana™ and Repellan®. The result of bringing together leading fabric technology, decades of experience with health and beauty products and the power of nature itself, ACTIVE TEXTILES bring new possibilities to your fashion concepts and collections.
