If you live an active life, do a lot of sports or have an exciting job then you're bound to get sweaty from time to time. However, it doesn't have to be embarrassing.

Logo cyclofresh by cognis Not if you have intelligent clothes that act in time.When fitted with Cyclofresh® your clothes recognize sweat, catch it and prevent unpleasant aromas developing within the textile. There's even a variation on Cyclofresh® that will release fresh smells into the air as soon as you start to get sticky. And all of this is achieved through naturally based substances.

Cyclodextrins - natural, mild and efficient

Better performance and fewer additives - just what today's market demands. In fact, skin compatibility and mildness is a key issue that Cyclofresh® tackles head on. The newest product from Cognis, Cyclofresh® is effective on a natural basis and highly skin compatible. The most important ingredient in Cyclofresh® is cyclodextrin, a harmless sugar molecule but with a powerful action.Cyclodextrin is derived from starch by adding enzymes - mainly from maize - and it has already been used for a number of years in the pharmaceutical industry. It is also valued in the cosmetics industry because of its high skin compatibility. In fact, in Germany it is now approved for use as an additive in food stuffs and can be integrated with fragrances into children's toys. Cyclofresh® is based on this entirely renewable raw material that is readily bio-degradable.The criteria for certification according to the Ökotex 100 standard are of course fulfilled.
