MERYL® SKINLIFE

THE ESSENTIAL FIBRE

Meryl^® Skinlife is bacteriostatic, a fibre which maintains a natural balance on the skin, regardless of activity level.

The human skin normally has a bacteria presence. A high level of bacteria, as well as a complete absence, creates various problems (allergy, odours, illness…).

Meryl^® Skinlife is not bactericidal: it does not decrease the bacteria level lower than what is normally

present on the skin.

Thanks to the presence of the inorganic bacteriostatic agent in the polymeric matrix (which is inherent in the fibre, not deposited on the fabric’s surface) there is no migration from fabric to skin avoiding induction of allergy.

• Meryl® Skinlife is permanent. Due to the bacteriostatic agent present in the polymeric matrix,

• Meryl® Skinlife is a permanent feature in the garments (is present after more than 100 washes).

• Meryl® Skinlife is much more efficient than a surface post-treatment.

Meryl^® Skinlife is the best for garments directly in contact with the skin and offers the same characteristics and advantages as:
